West Indies bowlers have made a great start, good bowling and all out Australia for 225. No Australian batsman has been able to stay on the wicket for long. No batsman has been able to complete 50 runs. It was a bad day for Australia. Among the West Indies bowlers, Summer Joseph took 4 wickets for 33 runs in 17.3 over, another two bowlers Jayden Seales and Justin Geaves took 3 wickets each. Stopping the Australian team in the first innings at such a low score means that I think if the West Indies can bat well in this Test, then there is a possibility of at least a draw in the match. West Indies are still behind by 209 runs and they still have 9 wickets in hand. The West Indies batsmen failed miserably in the first two Tests, which resulted in a great victory for Australia. West Indies team will be expected to at least draw in this Test to avoid a whitewash.

This is not the first time WI bowlers have bowled out Australians on low total. Main issue with WI is their batting, WI batsmen are continuously undoing the hard work done by their bowlers. If Aussies have scored 225 runs in first innings then I am sure WI won't be able to collect even 150 runs in first innings. Shamar Joseph is good entry in WI bowling lineup but he alone can't win every test match for WI. This is last test and WI must win that to avoid a whitewash at home and the only way they can win the last test is by batting well.  

West Indies lost the single wicket, they just have to tip and tip, that is it nothing else. Should probably not go for the boundaries, try to avoid them and go for single and doubles instead and the focus should be to bat as long as possible.

As per the wicket that West Indies lost, the batsmen Kevlon Anderson, he went to play the ball in the cover and he was targeting drive to get four but it was his main mistake, he was facing starc who used to trap batsmen by using his magic of swing. He did inswing and Kevlon Anderson had no idea, went for drive and accidently bowl came in and he got out.
