Overview

  • Joseph claimed four wickets in 16 overs to bowl out Australia for 180 on Day 1 of the first Test at Kensington Oval.
  • He dismissed Sam Konstas and Cameron Green for single-digit scores despite two catches being dropped off his bowling.
  • Ian Healy has insisted his “you’ve delivered crap” remark reflected dressing room chatter and not a personal attack.
  • A fourth umpire decision overturned a trapped-behind appeal against Travis Head, denying Joseph a chance for a five-wicket haul.
  • West Indies pacers exploited bowling-friendly conditions in Bridgetown to dismantle Australia’s top order early in the match.
