This is the second time in history; Australia embarrassed on their own soil
The second match of the West Indies-Australia two-Test series is in full swing. Windies won the toss and elected to bat in the match at the Gabba in Brisbane.
Batting first in the match, West Indies were bowled out for 311 runs. In the match, Joshua Da Silva and Kavem Hodge performed well in the West Indies batting line-up.
Joshua da Silva scored 79 runs off 157 balls. The star’s brilliant batting was by hitting seven fours.
On the other hand, Cavem Hodge scored 71 runs off 194 balls. The star’s brilliant innings was accompanied by eight fours and a six.
In the Australian bowling, Mitchell Starc took four wickets, Josh Hazelwood and Nathan Lyon took two wickets.
In response, the Aussie batting line-up collapsed from the start. Australia lost four wickets before scoring 24 runs in 4.5 overs.
This was followed by a bad record for the Aussies. This is the second time in a home Test that Australia have lost four wickets before scoring 25 runs in the first innings.
