Hazlewood Leads Australia To Gigantic Win Over West Indies

Bowling with nearly metronomic accuracy, Hazlewood finished with 5-35 in the second innings after at first phase having figures of 4-2.

Australian Josh Hazlewood created a motivated spell of seam bowling as Australia squashed the West Indies by 10 wickets in the 1st Test at the Adelaide Oval on Friday. Bowling with nearly metronomic accuracy, Hazlewood finished with 5-35 in the second innings after at first phase having figures of 4-2. Driving by 95 runs in the 1st innings, Australia excused the West Indies Friday morning for 120. They then, at that point, traveled to the triumphant objective of 26 in less than seven overs, despite the fact that there was some late show when, with the scores level, Australian opener Usman Khawaja was forced to retire hurt after being struck on the jaw by a Shamar Joseph bouncer.

There had been a lot of uneasiness in Australia when the West Indies declared a visiting crew missing various top players including previous captain Jason Holder.

Just eight of the 15-man crew had played Test cricket before, meaning there would need to be three debutants in the group for Adelaide.

While skipper Kraigg Brathwaite and individual opener Tagenarine Chanderpaul have framed an effective partnership at the highest point of the order, the following four batsmen had just three caps between them.

Also, with both Brathwaite and Chanderpaul flopping in this Test match, that inexperience showed, with just Kirk McKenzie offering a lot of protection from the Australian assault.

Be that as it may, they will remove a few up-sides from the match from McKenzie's batting and particularly the batting and bowling of Shamar Joseph, who was playing just his 6th first class  game.

Joseph took five wickets in the first innings and scored significant runs in both innings coming in at No.11.

Subsequent to continuing Friday on 73-6, still 22 runs behind, a large part of the West Indies' weak expectations relied upon experienced wicketkeeper Joshua Da Silva, who was not out 17 overnight.

But after adding one run to his overnight total Da Silva was gotten on the profound fine leg boundary for the second time this match after not having the option to control the hook shot, walking out on him 84-7.

Alzarri Joseph played well yet got a faint edge to wicketkeeper Alex Carey off Mitchell Starc to fall for 16, with West Indies 94-8, still one run from making Australia bat once more.

Hazlewood then, at that point, clean bowled Gudakesh Motie with practically no expansion to the score, bringing newcomer Shamar Joseph to the crease, who immediately played a wonderful cover drive for four.

The unique Shamar Joseph showed no trepidation and he and veteran Kemar Roach added 26 for the last wicket before Joseph charged off-spinner Nathan Lyon and was stumped by Carey.

West Indies mentor Andre Coley conceded enexperience had a huge impact in the dramatic second innings breakdown that saw them rut to 19-4.

"However, if they somehow managed to sit back and a portion of the input has been, it hasn't been colossally troublesome. It has been trying.

"I think the test has basically been the consistency of the bowlers, clearly an abundance of involvement with that Australian bowling assault, so their capacity to remain patient, and there were times our batters played very well."
