Spectacular spell. What an incredible entrance into Test cricket by Shamar Joseph.

Lyon to the rescue
Not sure why he was exposing Cummins, surely you go into bat with the tail mode.
Until that moment, Australia based on two things:
Joseph must be nearing the end of his spell
Experience in close matches, Australia have played more close Tests in recent times then many West Indies players have total Tests
But Cummins getting out changes that a little. There's still the question of how long someone who possibly shouldn't be out there can keep coming in and bowling fast.

Somebody sent sen a text on Friday wanting Smith dropped for the review which saw him given out LBW in the first innings. The only problem with that is that the West Indies reviewed the decision, not Smith.
It does?

It's helpful for us, I think... as Shamar Joseph has bowled 7 and a half overs straight in this spell, he'll eventually get tired and lose some of this supreme control and pace he's been exhibiting.
Travis Head seems to get a lot of ducks, the king pair is a joke
Some elite fast bowling though, haven't seen a touring side challenge us like this since India 3 years ago. Obviously the conditions are very good for fast bowling, but still need to execute, which Joseph has been.
The King!
Chosen One
Need a 3rd test mind you, 2 tests is stupid
Loving this. Nervous though.
Got us a wicket under lights when batting conditions were easier the following day session, have you got a point? Hazlewood could have got out for a golden anyway
This would be a good loss for the Aussie team in my opinion. After a brilliant year of success, the last test of the summer reminds them that if you are not on top game all the time, then even the wooden spoon team can get you. Resets the arrogant meter ahead of a the tougher series coming up in NZ

No I mean to keep Marsh in, Marsh got his go as an injury replacement for Green.
Now we have a batting line up that resembles England in the mid 90s with an all rounder that doesn’t really bowl at 6, a genuine all rounder that probably won’t bowl as much because he’s batting at 4 and a seniority pick at the top of the order.

It’s called not being arrogant you are 64 not out how about you try and get another 20 odd. Easier getting them in the first innings
