Starc, Boland Enjoy Historic Day as Australia Sweep West Indies

Australia have completed a 3-0 series whitewash of the West Indies after sensationally bowling the home side out in their finals innings chase for just 27 runs, which is the second-lowest team total in test cricket history, and the lowest since 1955.

An Australian batting collapse on day two resulted in a poor second innings score of just 121, setting the home side a target of 204 for victory.

Mitchell Starc quickly dashed the West Indies' hopes of victory by taking three first over wickets for no runs.

Seven West Indies batters failed to register a run, four of them were out for golden ducks, and only Justin Greaves with 11 reached double figures.

Starc finished the innings with career best figures of 6/9, set the record for the fastest five-wicket haul in test cricket history, reaching the milestone in just 15 deliveries, and claimed his 400th test wicket.

For his remarkable day of achievements Starc earned man of the match honours, but Scott Boland stole the show in what proved to be the penultimate over of the match, as he took a rare hat-trick to finish with incredible bowling figures of 3/2 in just two overs.

Starc and Boland combined to be 9/11 in nine and a half overs, while Josh Hazelwood claimed the other wicket and finished 1/10 in five overs.
