Insanity in the West Indies as Australia win one of the wildest Tests EVER played - and superstar Mitchell Starc sets a world record
On a historic day in Jamaica, Australia's quicks ran riot to wrap up a 176-run victory and claim a 3-0 series sweep of the Frank Worrell Trophy.
Chasing 204 for victory, West Indies' fourth innings lasted just 14.3 overs and only marginally eclipsed the lowest ever Test total of 26 by New Zealand in 1955.
Boland became just the 10th Australian to claim a Test hat-trick, but it was Starc who ripped the heart out of the hosts with figures of 6-9.
Starc took three wickets in the first over of West Indies' second innings and claimed five in 15 balls to at one stage have them 5-7.
Playing in his 100th Test, Starc also became the fourth Australian to reach the 400-wicket milestone, joining greats Shane Warne, Glenn McGrath and Nathan Lyon.

Starc's 15-ball five-wicket haul marked the fastest by any bowler in Test history, beating Ernie Toshack from 1947, Stuart Broad's 2015 Trent Bridge effort and Scott Boland's MCG heroics of 2021.
Each of those took 19 balls.
Starc also became the second man to take three wickets in the opening over of an innings, striking when he had John Campbell caught behind first ball.
He then trapped Kevlon Anderson lbw when the right hander left a ball that tailed in at him, before bowling Brandon King with the last ball of the over.
Starc's assault carried into his third over, claiming his 400th Test scalp with another ball that swung into Mikyle Louis' back pad.
Shai Hope followed two balls later, again trapped lbw.
At that point Starc had figures of 5-2, with the only runs off him coming via the outside edge of Hope's bat and through the slips.
Starc could have had a sixth victim, had Sam Konstas not grassed two chances at third slip to remove Alzarri Joseph either side of tea.
But that opened the door for Boland's hat-trick.
Called in for Nathan Lyon, the Victorian edged off Justin Greaves, had Shamar Joseph lbw and bowled Jomel Warrican in consecutive balls.
The hat-trick marked Australia's first in a Test since Peter Siddle in the 2010-11 Ashes.
In all, four of West Indies' top five were dismissed for ducks, with Louis the only one to trouble the scorers with a four when he edged Hazlewood to the boundary.
Australia's record showing came after they appeared in danger of dropping the Test, when bowled out for 121 in their second innings.

Dan Sheehan says Lions can fire up travelling support if they ‘give them a win'
The Lions are strong favourites to complete their first triumphant tour since 2013 when they toppled the Wallabies 2-1 and they enter Saturday's opening Test buoyed by a perfect record Down Under of five wins. Fans will start streaming into Brisbane over the coming days and in the face of criticism in the Australian media that Andy Farrell's tourists have shown limited willingness to engage in community events, Sheehan declares winning is the only currency that matters. 'The best way to connect with supporters is to give them a win,' the Ireland hooker said. 'Performance is the way to do that. Yeah we can give them a cheer and a clap after the game but ultimately that's not what they came for – they came for a good game of rugby. If we do that, they'll feel part of it. 'A goal of ours is to make sure that if we have a big crowd on Saturday – which we probably will – we bring them into the game and make it feel almost like a 50/50 game that could be anywhere in the world. 'But I still think it's down to what we put out on the pitch, that's how you get the crowd in behind you. 'It would be a good story and a good legacy to have a winning series. We haven't delved too much into the wider picture. 'We did at the start when we were trying to frame the mindset, but this week has been all about Saturday. 'There's going to be no holding anything back, or waiting for the next two Tests. It's all about Saturday. 'We're in a good spot. The lads are hungry, and we're expecting the Wallabies to be hungry. There will be fireworks on Saturday.' The Lions ruffled feathers in the wake of their 48-0 victory over Saturday's AUNZ Invitational XV when flanker Henry Pollock revealed their intention to whitewash Australia 3-0 and become the best team to have represented the elite of British and Irish rugby. Captain Maro Itoje then doubled down on the desire to put the Wallabies to the sword – and Sheehan believes there is no reason why they should not aim high. 'I don't think that's anything too crazy. It's a massive goal of ours to make sure we reach our potential,' he said. 'If we do reach our potential we have the possibility to be one of the best teams. I think they're fair comments.' Farrell names his team on Thursday with Tom Curry expected to be given the nod in the ferociously competitive openside position ahead of Jac Morgan and Josh van der Flier. Tadhg Beirne appears to be winning his battle with Ollie Chessum at blindside flanker, while Sione Tuipulotu has now edged ahead of Bundee Aki in the race to start at inside centre. With Blair Kinghorn losing his battle with a knee injury, Hugo Keenan is favourite to be picked at full-back with Marcus Smith potentially supplying cover from the bench.

Owen Farrell and Henry Pollock to be left out of Lions Test squad
Owen Farrell and Henry Pollock are expected to miss out on selection for the first British & Irish Lions Test against Australia — with head coach Andy Farrell preparing to unleash a power-packed side. The Times understands that Tom Curry will play at open-side flanker with Tadhg Beirne at blind-side and Jack Conan at No8 forming an abrasive, physical back row. For Curry and Conan it will be their fourth consecutive Lions Test. Ollie Chessum, a lock or blind-side option like Beirne, and Ben Earl will provide cover from the bench. The Lions are going for power and lineout dominance over pace or a primary jackal threat, which is set to mean no place for Pollock, Jac Morgan or Josh van der Flier. With Morgan not involved, the Lions would go into a Test without a Welshman for the first time since 1899. Sione Tuipulotu and Huw Jones will form an all-Scottish midfield, operating outside the half-back partnership of Jamison Gibson-Park and Finn Russell. The Tuipolotu-Jones combination always felt likely once Garry Ringrose, the Irish outside centre, was ruled out of the game through concussion. The Lions' back line options have been limited by injuries to Mack Hansen and Blair Kinghorn. The back three therefore picks itself, with James Lowe and Tommy Freeman on the wings, either side of Hugo Keenan at full back. Other than Jamie Osborne, who came on tour late, Marcus Smith is the only player from outside the expected starting XV who can cover full back. Had Hansen or Kinghorn been available, that might have altered the balance and improved Owen Farrell's chances of being included as a fly half/centre. Smith struggled last season after being recast by England as utility player, having been their starting fly half in 2024. But that versatility appears to have secured the 26-year-old a Lions Test selection, potentially alongside Bundee Aki on the bench. The Lions still have one training session to negotiate before Andy Farrell, the head coach, announces the 23-man squad officially early on Thursday morning. 'It certainly wasn't easy,' Richard Wigglesworth, the assistant coach, said of the initial selection meeting. The opening match of the three-match series against Joe Schmidt's Wallabies will be played at Brisbane's Suncorp Stadium on Saturday. Curry's performances have not been flashy in Australia — and they have been lauded by Farrell because of it. The head coach admires the 27-year-old's engine, his work rate and his ferocity in the collisions. He started all three Tests on the 2021 Lions tour. 'He's a machine,' Farrell said. 'His work rate, his stuff off the ball is very impressive. The stuff that he does off the ball makes teams tick. He's so fit, so determined to have an impact on the game, especially as far as physicality is concerned. I think he started the tour really well.' Beirne has switched between back row and second row on this tour but he has been preferred to Chessum at blind-side flanker. He will provide a key lineout option and he is also a member of the Lions' senior leadership group, having captained the team against NSW Waratahs and the Australia-New Zealand Invitational team. His selection in the back row is a show of force from the Lions, although somewhat of a surprise given the man himself believes he is now a lock. 'If anything, I've probably become more settled in the second-row spot over the last couple of months, particularly with Munster,' Beirne, 33, said. 'I like to think I've convinced myself that my game has improved a bit over the last four years. Just in terms of understanding the game and being a smarter rugby player, particularly in the second row. I've been playing there a lot more.' It had been widely expected that Owen Farrell, drafted in late and primarily as an inside centre option, would be fast-tracked into the first Test squad because of his ability to also cover fly half. He came off the bench with Smith in the most recent game but if the Wallabies were looking for Test clues in their joint deployment, it would appear they have been misled.
