Australia Sweep West Indies 3–0 in Dominant Test Series Victory

Australia Dominates, Sweeps Series 3–0

Australia’s return to the West Indies in July 2025 will be remembered as a masterclass in Test cricket. They clean-swept the three-match series 3–0, firmly retaining the Frank Worrell Trophy with dominant wins in Barbados, Grenada, and Kingston. While the West Indies showed flashes of resistance, Australia remained in complete control—securing victories by margins of 159, 133, and 176 runs. With ruthless precision and discipline, the Aussies exposed the frailties of the Caribbean side, especially their batting, which crumbled under pressure throughout the serie

Starc & Boland Etch Their Names in History

The series finale at Sabina Park delivered a historic low for the West Indies—bowled out for just 27 runs, the second-lowest total in Test history. Mitchell Starc, playing his 100th Test, produced a sensational spell of 6 for 9, including the fastest-ever five-wicket haul in just 15 balls. Scott Boland added to the carnage with a rare Test hat-trick. Starc ended the series with 15 wickets and deservedly took home the Player of the Series award. Their performances were not just outstanding—they were unforgettable.

Steady in Grenada & Barbados

In the first two Tests, West Indies occasionally showed promise but couldn’t sustain it. Australia chased confidently in Barbados, while Alex Carey led a calm pursuit in Grenada. Shamar Joseph showed spark with the ball, and Josh Hazlewood’s consistency helped tilt the game Australia’s way. Every time the hosts tried to fight back, Australia responded with calm, calculated cricket—a mark of their maturity and depth.

West Indies at a Crossroads

In the wake of this crushing defeat, Cricket West Indies has called upon legends like Clive Lloyd, Brian Lara, and Vivian Richards to help rebuild. While the fielding was spirited, repeated batting collapses exposed deeper structural issues. Passion alone won’t fix it—systemic change is needed, from grassroots to top-level coaching.

The Road Ahead

Australia leave with confidence and silverware, while the West Indies face urgent questions. Can they harness their rich history to reignite the spark—or will this series mark another step away from their once-great legacy?
