AUS vs WI 1st Test: Caribbean Shamar Joseph wreaked havoc in the debut match in the name of Australia on the first day

Australia vs West Indies two-match test series has started from today. The first test match of the series is being played at Adelaide Oval ground. The first day of the match was currently in the name of host Australia, but Shamar Joseph, who was playing his debut Test match for West Indies, impressed a lot with his performance. While batting, he came to bat at number 11 and took West Indies to the score of 188 runs. West Indies had lost the 9th wicket for 133 runs and it seemed that the Caribbean team would not be able to cross the 150-run mark, but Shamar played an inning of 36 runs in 41 balls and took the score to 188 runs. For Australia, captain Pat Cummins and Josh Hazlewood took four wickets each, while Mitchell Starc and Nathan Lyon took one wicket each.

Kirk McKenzie scored 50 runs for West Indies. Apart from McKenzie and Shamar, no other batsman even reached the score of 20 runs. The third best score was 17 runs, made by Kemar Roach. Captain Kraigg Brathwaite was out after scoring 13 runs. Apart from Shamar, Justin Greaves and Kavem Hodge also made their debut for West Indies, but it was Shamar who impressed the most.

While bowling, Shamar sent Steve Smith to the pavilion on his very first ball of Test cricket. Smith had come out to open the innings in this match. Smith came out to open the innings for the first time in Test cricket and was out after scoring just 12 runs. Apart from Smith, Shamar also showed the way to the pavilion to Marnus Labuschagne. The first day of the debut test match became very memorable for Shamar. By the end of the day’s play, Australia had lost two wickets for 59 runs. Usman Khawaja returned not out after scoring 30 runs and Cameron Green after scoring 6 runs.
