Transcript
00:00I love you
00:30Glorious Test Match Cricket returns to the Caribbean.
00:34We are now on Australia's 13th Test Match Tour of the region.
00:37West Indies versus Australia.
00:39The start of a new World Test Championship cycle here at Kensington-Obel Barbados.
00:50Three Test Matches in this very important series before we move on to the shortest format of the game.
00:57And five T20 internationals culminating in St Kipps and Nevis.
01:02Right, the toss decision. It's Australia winning and opting to bat first.
01:07Thank you very much, Darren Ganga.
01:09I would call it Genesis Series, a series of new beginnings, new World Test Championship cycle.
01:14Debutant in Brandon King, the 343rd Test player for the West Indies.
01:19Of course, he's already played 63 T20Is and 52 ODIs.
01:25But a first Test Match cap.
01:26Here are the teams. The West Indies led by a new captain, Roston Chase.
01:32The 38th captain for the West Indies Test team.
01:37And there's a debutant in that of Brandon King.
01:39Carlos Brathwaite, the former West Indies all-rounder, is alongside me.
01:46Australia as well, with a few new faces.
01:51Yes, Sam Constance, Josh Inglis.
01:54I think this is where the experienced West Indies bowling line will be looking to target.
01:58They have first crack at them.
01:59Off the mark, straight away.
02:14Out of appeal, that's very close.
02:17Might be a bit of bat on that one.
02:20It has sparked a discussion with the captain, Roston Chase, bowler, senior players, gathering.
02:32And the review is taken.
02:41There doesn't appear to be any bat.
02:43Can I go to Ultra Edge to confirm bat or no bat, please?
02:48Regional decision not out.
02:49Pitching out a lot of impact in line.
02:52Wickets hitting.
02:54Metanine needed to reverse or not out decision to out.
02:57Stand by.
03:00The on-screen signal now.
03:02Fabulous review.
03:04Fabulous outcome for the West Indies.
03:07Shema Joseph with the first wicket and breaks the opening partnership.
03:12Sam Constance going back for 3-8 for 1.
03:19This time, Shema Joseph has green for the third time in Test match cricket in exactly the way that he has been dismissed in the last couple of weeks in the World Test Championship final.
03:33Deja vu for green.
03:37And they're probably having a little bit of a look.
03:41TV umpire to the director.
03:43We have an umpire review for fair catch.
03:46Check the ball at feet.
03:48Fair delivery.
03:49Best angle for the catch, please.
03:50It just looked like it carried.
03:55They're just double checking.
03:57But the West Indies should have their second wicket.
04:06Keep going forward.
04:07Keep going forward.
04:08Fingers underneath the ball.
04:15It's clear evidence that the ball hasn't been grounded.
04:17I'm ready to make a decision for the big screen.
04:19And they do.
04:31Confirmation.
04:33West Indians have taken another catch.
04:35They've dropped a couple.
04:37Joseph has been superb.
04:40And he gets Cameron Green.
04:41Batting at number three again for Australia.
04:43He's failed again.
04:44A nervous three.
04:45The West Indies a very, very impressive start on day one of this Test Series.
04:51Fourteen for two.
04:55That's in there.
04:56Shea Hope.
04:57He wants it.
04:58Should be taken.
04:59It's taken.
05:01Wicket for Jadon Seals.
05:03Another one falls for Australia.
05:05It's been all West Indies this morning.
05:08Yeah, this one short of a length.
05:10Josh Inglis deciding to take it on.
05:13He is attacking in nature.
05:15Yeah, but just goes from low to high.
05:18An easy catch for a share horse.
05:20Donning the gloves after some time for West Indies.
05:24Jadon Seals into the wickets.
05:26West Indies continue to dominate.
05:29What's back for five, Josh English.
05:3122 for three.
05:32Travis Head at his best.
05:40First boundary of the test.
05:43Head off the mark.
05:4526 for three.
05:46And that's his first boundary.
05:52And it goes all the way for six.
05:55That was absolutely smashed by Ousmane Khawaja.
06:00And that goes away for another boundary.
06:11So they're flowing a little bit more frequently now, Australia.
06:16Another four.
06:20So he's really finding his range now, Ousmane Khawaja.
06:24He's bided his time and he's reaping some rewards.
06:2847 for three.
06:29Pulled away in front of square.
06:38It's another short delivery dispatched.
06:44That's typical of Travis Head.
06:48He gets four more.
06:49That's what he does if you miss your length.
06:58He's not afraid to go for his shots.
07:07Even the deep point can't stop it.
07:14Shot from Travis Head.
07:1919th half century for Travis Head.
07:26A second against this opposition.
07:30And so that Australia rather needed him to step up.
07:34And he has so far.
07:41That's about a match.
07:43So the wicket finally comes.
07:45And guess who the bowler?
07:46Shemaah Joseph.
07:49Yeah, just that little under edge or off the toe.
07:57And he really did deserve that little bit of luck there.
08:00Shemaah Joseph.
08:01So he keeps taking wickets.
08:03Really important breakthrough there for the West Indies.
08:06Ousmane Khawaja fought hard for his 47.
08:09111 for four.
08:14Driven nicely through that cover point region.
08:18He will get four.
08:18What a delivery from Shemaah Joseph.
08:29Conceded a boundary in the previous ball.
08:32But this was unplayable.
08:34And then to get it back on a good line and length.
08:38Just have a look at this.
08:41Squares him up.
08:43Top of the bale.
08:45And that celebration.
08:49Well, the Australians are getting used to seeing that from Shemaah Joseph.
08:54He is going through the Australians again.
08:56He gets his fourth for the day.
08:59Webster on his way.
09:00And the Aussies are 1.23 for five.
09:02Fortune for Travis Head.
09:14Nice shot.
09:16From Alex Carey.
09:20Got him.
09:21Excellent catch.
09:24From Ruston Chase.
09:27He put one down earlier today.
09:30And got on Shea Hope not to put his gloves in the way.
09:38Sensational catch from Ruston Chase.
09:39Going to a stronger right side.
09:42And taking it behind him.
09:46No slip catch is easy.
09:49But that was a brilliant one.
09:51And much like us in the commentary box.
09:52In the stands they're celebrating.
09:54On the field they are as well.
09:56And it's Carey goes for eight.
09:57Australia.
09:581.38 for six.
10:00Now we'll dribble away for four.
10:07Off the mark with a boundary.
10:12Taken.
10:13Speaking about greed.
10:15Justin Graves.
10:16He wants one of his own.
10:18And it's the big one.
10:19The wicket of Travis Head.
10:21Straight after the T interval.
10:22Oh this is huge.
10:28Just a delivery that may have held its own a little bit.
10:32But Travis Head looking to drive.
10:34Square of the wicket.
10:35On the up.
10:37And he's managed to just nick it behind.
10:40So the dangerous Travis Head played beautifully I thought.
10:44Today for his 59.
10:46He goes.
10:461.42 for seven.
10:50Edged and taken.
10:51Justin Graves with the catch.
10:55Another wicket for Jaden Seals.
10:58Another wicket for the West Indies.
11:00They continue their domination on day one.
11:04And he can bowl this young man.
11:07Takes his third wicket.
11:08Perfect spot really.
11:11Top of off stuff making.
11:13Mitchell Stark play.
11:15And all he could do was edge it to second slip.
11:17They're up and about the windies.
11:211.43 for eight.
11:26What a shot.
11:30That's wonderful timing from Pat Cummins.
11:33And he has some acumen with the bat.
11:38And that's on display now.
11:43Straight to the fielder.
11:45Craig Brathwaite completes the catch.
11:47Jaden Seals with a fourth.
11:50It's been Seals and Samar short today.
11:53Well Pat Cummins absolutely smashed this one.
11:57But he's hit it straight to the fielder at mid-off.
12:01And Seals just keeps taking wickets.
12:03Excellent young fast bowler.
12:07And he's got his fourth for the day.
12:10And they're going through this Australian batting line-up.
12:13Pat Cummins the captain is on his way.
12:16Good contribution.
12:1728 runs off 18.
12:18It is 1.70 for nine.
12:28Welcome runs for Australia.
12:30It was a noise.
12:37It was a noise.
12:38The finger goes up belatedly.
12:41So it is a third five-wicket haul for Jaden Seals in test match cricket.
12:46That's the moment he took his third five-wicket haul.
12:51Jaden Seals.
12:52Clever.
12:52Following Joshua Hazelwood.
12:55Knowing he was backing away leg side.
12:57Really good.
12:58Hazelwood walked immediately.
12:59The accommodations to Jaden Seals.
13:03He deserved all the applause.
13:07Travis Head.
13:08Some rear guard in the middle.
13:0959.
13:10He made.
13:11Only batter to get to a half century.
13:13Showed some aggression.
13:15Kawaja.
13:15He struggled across those 128 deliveries.
13:18Got to 47 in the end.
13:20Before he was eventually held.
13:21By Shea Ho.
13:22Shamar Joseph.
13:23Accounting for those first few wickets.
13:25Pat Cummins was good.
13:26At the end.
13:27Added some vital runs.
13:2828 of them off just 18 deliveries.
13:31180 though.
13:32Was all Australia could manage.
13:34Seals with 5.60.
13:43His third five-wicket haul.
13:45In Test Nats cricket.
13:47Go back to 2021.
13:49As they go against South Africa.
13:51Five-wicket haul against Pakistan.
13:52At Sabina Park.
13:53Jamaica.
13:53Four wickets to Shamar Joseph.
13:56And he had so many chances.
13:57Dropped off his bowling.
13:59It seems unfair.
14:00A wicket to Justin Graves as well.
14:04Gets away with it.
14:10Inadvertently though.
14:11The first boundary of the West Indies innings.
14:16Outside Elch Farm.
14:18And wickets.
14:19Very good catch.
14:22Third time.
14:23Dismissed now.
14:24Craig Brathwaite.
14:34Straight.
14:38Just holding its angle.
14:40Not swinging back.
14:41As he's accustomed to Mitchell Stark.
14:44High quality.
14:46Seam and swing bowling.
14:48And Raffy departs with four.
14:50Justin Lee's 10 for one.
14:52Edged.
14:56There is another one.
14:59A little bit of impatience from John Campbell.
15:02And again.
15:03Fishing at a delivery outside the off-sump.
15:07Persistence from Stark.
15:09Beautiful length.
15:10Enticing the drive.
15:11As he's done so many times in his career.
15:18Finding the outside edge.
15:22And John Campbell on comeback.
15:24Gone for seven.
15:26And Cindy's 16 for two.
15:27Runs off the mark straight away.
15:32First delivery four runs.
15:34Fortuitous.
15:36But he'll welcome it.
15:37Brandon King.
15:38Opens his account in test match cricket.
15:45Got the whiff.
15:47And there were no half measures in the shot.
15:49With the attacking field.
15:50Easy runs.
15:55It's a nice compact shot.
15:57King has job because he thinks it's going to go for four.
16:01And it does.
16:03So two fours in test cricket for Brandon King.
16:0728 for two.
16:16Again.
16:16Another boundary for Brandon King.
16:18Throwing the hands at it.
16:2036.
16:21The two.
16:25It's a lovely punch shot again.
16:28Again.
16:29A minimum of fuss.
16:31It was in the air for a while.
16:34But he's a real touch player.
16:36Casey Carty.
16:3849 for two.
16:41Edge done taken.
16:42There it is.
16:43And another.
16:44To those 12.
16:45It's the 13th wicket off the day.
16:47And that man again.
16:49Pat Cummins.
16:50How good is he?
16:52Another one for Australia.
16:58Security.
16:59I think we'll be disappointed with this.
17:01We saw him leave a few deliveries on length.
17:04This one.
17:04He could have left.
17:07Yeah.
17:07Good for Pat Cummins though.
17:08He's been relentless.
17:10In the last few overs.
17:12Carity Watts back for a pretty good 20.
17:15He'll be disappointed.
17:1652 for three.
17:19Clean him up.
17:21That's Josh Hazelwood for you.
17:25The night watchman doesn't last.
17:28Yeah.
17:28It's what you like so much about this Australian attack.
17:32The construction of over is the build up to wickets.
17:34The previous delivery.
17:36Sure.
17:36Pushed him back.
17:37And then this one.
17:38Fuller.
17:39Hitting the top of all stuff.
17:41Too good for a night watchman.
17:43Excellent for Josh Hazelwood.
17:45Or a count wall spot.
17:46Fuller scoring 53 for four.
17:53Chase gets off the mark.
17:56On his captaincy debut.
17:58West Indies will close.
18:01On 57 for four.
18:0514 wickets falling on day one.
18:09Yeah.
18:09So Australia.
18:10They won the toss earlier today.
18:13They decided that they wanted to have first strike.
18:16Thinking that there will be some turn later on.
18:19As was stated by Cummins.
18:22Head and Kawaja put on a very good partnership.
18:24But the bowling of Seals and Joseph really stole the show.
18:29West Indies though.
18:30They are 57 for four.
18:32It's a good fight back from the Australian fast bowling battery.
18:38King and Captain Ruston chase the unbeaten.
18:43But they're still trailing by 123.
18:45And they're still trailing by 123.
