West Indies Stun Australia In Grandstand Brisbane Finish

World Test Championship: An inexperienced West Indies defeated Australia by eight runs in a nail-biting contest here, their first Test win in the nation since February 1997, when Curtly Ambrose's 7/93 had helped beat Mark Taylor's Australia by 10 wickets.

Another fast bowler was the protagonist of West Indies' win almost three decades later, Shamar Joseph, who finished with 7/68 in the second innings to secure a close-fought win. Shamar was declared the Player of the Match and the Series for his stupendous efforts, reports ICC.

Belying the day four forecasts, play started on time in Brisbane, with an injured Shamar, who looked at one point potentially missing the day through a toe injury, standing up as the West Indies main man with the ball again.
