The world saw the struggle of Team India against England in Lord’s Test. It was a different matter that the Indian team had to face defeat by 22 runs in that Test. But the efforts made for the victory of his players were also appreciated. Well, all this happened in Lord’s. But, what happened to 7500 km from there with 7 batsmen? Here we are talking about 7 batsmen who were playing in the Jamaica Test between West Indies and Australia. The distance from Lord’s to Jamaica is 7500 km, where what has happened to those seven batsmen, has changed the history of Test cricket. Simply put, this has been seen happening for the first time in Test cricket.
Who are those 7 batsmen?
Now the question is, who are 7 batsmen? These seven are from the West Indies and their names- John Campbell, Kevalon Anderson, Brendon King, Roston Chase, Shemar Joseph, Jomel Warikan and Zidon Syels. After all these batsmen played against Australia in the second innings of the Jamaica Test, a new record has been set in Test cricket.
This happened for the first time in 148 years
Australia had set a target of 204 runs in front of the West Indies to win the Jamaica Test. But chasing him, these seven players were dismissed on zero in the second innings. This is the first incident of 7 batsmen being dismissed on zero in the same inning in the history of 148 years of Test cricket. Earlier, this had happened 9 times, in which 6 batsmen were seen returning to the pavilion on zero.
West Indies made the second shortest score
Now what will be the total score of the team whose 7 batsmen could not open the account. The West Indies also had to face this dislocation. The entire team was all out for 27 runs in second inning, which was the shortest and overall score in the West Indies in Test history. New Zealand is named after New Zealand to make the lowest score in an inning in Test cricket. In 1955, he scored 26 runs in the Test played against England.
The fastest 5 wickets in Tests are amazing
If anyone was the biggest responsible for covering the West Indies for 27 runs, then he was Australian bowler Mitchell Starc. The left -handed bowler did the fastest 5 wickets in Test cricket. Stark, who took 6 wickets in the second innings of the West Indies, took the first 5 wickets in just 15 balls. Earlier, these records are jointly named after Arni Toshahek (1947) of Australia, Stuart Broad (2015) of England and Scott Bolland (2021) of Australia. All three took 5 wickets from 19-19 balls.
Stark stands after Dale Stan
Stark also completed his 400 wickets in Test cricket while taking the fastest 5 wickets. He did this on the 19062th ball of his Test career. He is the second bowler to take the fastest 400 wickets in terms of balls after Dale Stan.
Bolland 45th bowler who takes a hat -trick
When Stark opened the claw, Scott Bolland quenched the thirst of his wickets with a hat -trick against the West Indies. Scott Bolland took the first hat -trick of his Test career. He became the 10th of Australia to do so in the Test while the 45th bowler in the world.
