Hazlewood Fifer Seals Crushing Win For Australia Against Windies
Josh Hazlewood: Josh Hazlewood led the charge for Australia with figures of 5 for 43 as West Indies suffered a dramatic collapse, losing all 10 wickets in the final session on Day 3 to hand Australia a 159-run victory in the first Test. Nathan Lyon claimed the final two wickets off successive deliveries in what turned out to be the day’s last over, sealing a dominant win with two days to spare and giving Australia a 1-0 lead in the two-match series.
Chasing a target of 301, West Indies showed some early resistance despite losing Kraigg Brathwaite in the first over, caught at backward square leg off Mitchell Starc. John Campbell and Keacy Carty steadied things briefly with some attacking strokes, taking the score to 47 for 1. Carty was given an early life on 1 when Cameron Green dropped him, but the West Indies soon unraveled.
Campbell gloved a scoop attempt off Hazlewood to Alex Carey, and Carty fell the very next ball, inside-edging onto his pad for a sharp catch at gully. Hazlewood continued to make inroads, dismissing captain Roston Chase similarly before bowling Carty with a full delivery, reducing the visitors to 56 for 5.
