Australia’s Mitchell Starc has blown the cricket world and the West Indies away with the hosts falling for just 27 runs in their second innings run chase in the third Test.

On a historic day in Jamaica, Australia’s quicks ran riot to wrap up a 176-run victory and claim a 3-0 series sweep of the Frank Worrell Trophy.

Set 204 by Australia, Starc ripped the heart out of the West Indies, with a devastating first over that claimed three wickets.

Before you knew it, the veteran Aussie quick had five wickets in just 2.3 overs (or 15 balls) and, when Josh Hazlewood joined the party, the West Indies were in dire trouble at 6/12.

Starc made history in the process, with his ‘five-for’ the quickest ever five-wicket bag in a Test innings (the previous ‘fastest five-for’ was off 19 balls).

Playing in his 100th Test, he became the fourth Australian to reach the 400-wicket milestone and joined greats Shane Warne, Glenn McGrath and Nathan Lyon.

After tea, Scott Boland claimed his first hat-trick in Test cricket and not long after that the West Indies were all out for 27 in 4.3 overs.

It was bleak day for the hosts, narrowly avoiding the lowest ever Test total of 26 (set by New Zealand).

The scorecard was grim reading, too, with seven ducks and only one batter making double figures.

In all, four of West Indies’ top five were dismissed for ducks, with Mikyle Louis the only one to trouble the scorers with a four when he edged Hazlewood to the boundary.

Starc took 6-9, while Boland (3-2) bowled just two overs and still managed to take a hat-trick.

Fans were all saying the same thing about Starc as he left behind him a trail of destruction.

Fittingly, he took the final wicket of the match when he bowled Jayden Seales.

“Greatest left arm pacer of this generation,” one fan said.

“Mitchell Starc is a true legend,” another said.

And another: “Mighty untouchable Starc 🔥🤍.”

Starc became the second man to take three wickets in the opening over of an innings ... which began when he had John Campbell caught behind first ball.

He then trapped Kevlon Anderson lbw when the right hander left a ball that tailed in at him, before bowling Brandon King with the last ball of the over.

Starc’s assault carried into his third over, claiming his 400th Test wicket with another ball that swung into Mikyle Louis’ back pad.

Shai Hope followed two balls later, again trapped lbw.

At that point Starc had figures of 5-2, with the only runs off him coming off the outside edge of Hope’s bat and through the slips.

Called in for Nathan Lyon, Boland’s became just the 10th Australian to claim a Test hat-trick.

The Victorian edged off Justin Greaves, had Shamar Joseph lbw and bowled Jomel Warrican in consecutive balls, with his hat-trick the first by an Australian in a Test since Peter Siddle in the 2010-11 Ashes.

Before the innings started, there was some thought Australia’s bid to clean sweep the series was under threat.

Australia were bowled out for 121 early on Day 3, their lowest total against West Indies since Courtney Walsh and Curtly Ambrose were wreaking havoc in 1995.

It was Alzarri and Shamar Joseph who did the damage for West Indies this time, with the former claiming 5-27 after dominating under lights on Day 2.

It then took just eight overs for the West Indies’ quicks to take the final four wickets on Monday afternoon (Tuesday AEST), with Shamar Joseph finishing with 4-34.

After the innings ended, Australia had three hours to bowl in daylight before entering the dangerous night session.

Alex Carey was unable to keep wicket for Australia, diagnosed with a concussion after being struck in the head by Alzarri Joseph on Day 2.

Carey passed an on-field test on after the first-ball blow, but was dismissed two balls later when he charged the West Indies quick and edged him to slip.

Josh Inglis was keeping in Carey’s place, following a subsequent concussion test. Carey was spotted at the ground in Jamaica on Monday.

Australia had already wrapped up the Frank Worrell Trophy, but this clean sweep has helped them set up their push to reclaim the World Test Championship in 2027.
