In a shocking new low for Caribbean cricket, the West Indies have been bowled out for just 27 runs against Australia — their second lowest Test score ever, and only one run higher than their all-time worst of 26.
This total is now one of the lowest in the history of Test cricket, just above the all-time record for the lowest innings: 26 runs by New Zealand against England in 1955, and also 26 by West Indies themselves against England in 1928.
Australia’s bowlers ripped through the West Indies line-up with ruthless precision, exposing the team’s fragile batting order. This collapse has renewed questions about the state of West Indies cricket and its once-glorious legacy.
Fans around the world are stunned that a team which once ruled the cricketing world with legends like Viv Richards and Brian Lara could fall to such depths.
With this humiliating scoreline, the West Indies must now regroup quickly or face even bigger challenges ahead.
