Follow UsMadness unfolded at the Sabina Park in Jamaica as West Indies were bowled out for 27, the second-lowest total in Test history and the lowest in 70 years, as Australia registered a 176-run victory to sweep the three-match series 3-0. Chasing 204, the hosts endured the most horrific batting collapse of this century as they lost all 10 wickets in 14.3 overs to become only the second team in Test history to get bowled out under 30.

The ill-fated innings saw Mitchell Starc take a wicket off the first ball, and then go on to take the quickest five-wicket haul in Test history, taking five wickets in just 15 balls.
Once Starc was done, Scott Boland joined the action and became the 10th Australian - first since Peter Siddle in 2010 - to take a Test hat-trick.
Starc came back to finish proceedings, clean bowling Jayden Seales to knock the Windies over for 27. He finished with figures of 6/9, his best-ever in Test cricket by a distance.
The West Indies innings saw as many as seven ducks (the most in a single innings in Test history), with Justin Greaves (11) being the only batter in the entire side to cross double digits. In fact, outside Greaves, no other batter even managed to cross the 5-run mark.
It could, in fact, have been worse for the hosts had Sam Konstas not put down two catches off the bowling of Starc.
