Mitchell Starc’s fierce triple-strike in first over crushes West Indies

In the first over of the fourth innings at Sabina Park, Starc ignited a dream spell that left West Indies in complete disarray. The left-arm pacer struck with the very first ball, removing John Campbell with a seaming beauty that kissed the outside edge and was safely pouched by substitute keeper Josh Inglis.

Just a few deliveries later, Starc trapped debutant Kevlon Anderson plumb in front with a sharp in-swinger that his pads, giving the batter a nightmare outing with a duck in each innings. Starc wasn’t done yet—he completed a sensational triple strike by cleaning up Brandon King with a classic full-length inswinger that breached the gap between bat and pad, sending the leg stump dislodged. All three wickets fell without a single run on the board, marking one of the most destructive opening overs in Test history and putting Australia on course for a commanding win.
