**Seales’ Fiery Spell Cripples Australia on Day 1 in Barbados Test**
**BRIDGETOWN, BARBADOS** – Fast bowlers dominated the opening day of the first Test between West Indies and Australia at Kensington Oval, Barbados, with a total of 14 wickets falling. West Indies’ young paceman, Jayden Seales, stole the show with a blistering spell, claiming a five-wicket haul that helped dismiss the visitors for a paltry 180.
Seales’ performance wasn’t just about wickets; it was also about rewriting history. With his five-for, Seales now boasts the best strike rate among all West Indian bowlers with at least 50 Test wickets, surpassing legends like Malcolm Marshall. Seales took 5 wickets for 60 runs in 15.5 overs. In just 19 Tests, Seales has taken 80 wickets, and his strike rate of 37.9 is the best for any West Indian bowler who has taken 50 Test wickets.
Australia’s batting lineup struggled against the West Indies seam attack, with only Usman Khawaja (47), Travis Head (59), and captain Pat Cummins (28) offering any significant resistance. Shamar Joseph also contributed significantly for the West Indies, taking four wickets for 46 runs. This is Australia’s lowest score in West Indies.
In response, the West Indies top order faltered, losing four wickets quickly. At the close of play on Day 1, the West Indies were 57 for 4, with debutant Brondon King unbeaten on 23.
