Cricket - Shamar Joseph bowls West Indies to historic win over Australia
We started the day thinking Shamar Joseph wouldn't be able to bowl but ended it with him bowling through injury to return figures of 7/68 and script one of the greatest test match victories of all time.
In a historic Test match at the Gabba in January 2024, Shamar Joseph delivered a remarkable performance, claiming seven wickets for 68 runs, leading the West Indies to their first victory in Australia in 27 years. Despite nursing a toe injury, Joseph's relentless pace and precision dismantled the Australian batting lineup, culminating in a dramatic eight-run win. His final wicket, uprooting Josh Hazlewood's off stump, sealed the game and sparked jubilant celebrations among the West Indies team.
Joseph's journey from a remote village in Guyana to becoming a Test hero underscores his extraordinary talent and determination. This match not only marked a personal milestone for Joseph but also a significant moment in West Indies cricket history.
