Australia Vs West Indies Live Score, 1st Test Day 1: Follow Scorecard And Match Action From Bridgetown
Australia vs West Indies Live Cricket Score, 1st Test Day 1 (Australia National Cricket Team vs West Indies National Cricket Team): Windies haven't played Tests in the last five months and start the 2025-27 World Test Championship under a new skipper in Roston Chase after Kraigg Brathwaite stepped down, and that too against Pat Cummins' mighty Aussies.
Australia's might has been challenged a bit over the past two weeks, after South Africa beat them convincingly to win the World Test Championship and ended their title defence.
Can a Windies side, that has been at their lowest over the past few years, spring something magical against a Steve Smith-Marnus Labuschagne-less Australia, or will Cummins & Co. go about their business as usual? Stay tuned for all updates.

When Esha Gupta SLAMMED Hardik Pandya for his 'Koffee With Karan' remarks: 'Women should not compare themselves with men'
Cricketer Hardik Pandya once found himself in the middle of a major controversy, all thanks to a talk show. Back in 2019, Hardik appeared on Karan Johar 's popular chat show ' Koffee With Karan ' along with fellow cricketer KL Rahul . But things quickly turned sour after Hardik made certain comments that many felt were inappropriate and disrespectful. The backlash was intense. Social media was full of criticism, and the BCCI stepped in, suspending both players from an ODI series against Australia. Esha Gupta's bold reaction at the time During the same year, Hardik was rumoured to be dating actress Esha Gupta. While neither of them confirmed the relationship back then, the 'Jannat 2' actress did not hold back when asked about the controversy. At a public event, when someone asked her what she thought of Hardik's comments on 'Koffee With Karan', the actress quickly distanced herself from him. She said, 'Who is the one who told you, he is my friend?' That wasn't all. Esha went on to criticise Hardik's remarks by addressing the issue of women being compared to men. She made her point clear, saying, 'Firstly, women should not compare themselves with men. We are the best in every respect. I don't want anyone to feel bad, but why don't you give birth to a child? We suffer from periods five days every month and even then we have to dance, go to an office, and take care of the children. When you can do all this, you become superior.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Memperdagangkan CFD Emas dengan salah satu spread terendah?

'That part didn't affect me, because we had already stopped talking by then,' she said. Were they ever really dating? There had always been speculation about Esha and Hardik's relationship. Some reports suggested they were dating, while others called it a short fling. But now, Esha has finally spoken openly about what really happened between them. The 'Raaz 3' actress explained in same chat that although they were talking for a while, it never turned into a full relationship. 'Yeah, for some time we were talking. I don't think we were dating, but yeah, we were talking for a couple of months. We were at that 'maybe it will happen, maybe it won't' stage. It ended before we even reached the dating stage. So it wasn't dating-dating. We met once or twice, that's it. So yeah, as I said, it was a couple of months and then it ended,' she said. Could it have worked out? When asked if there was a real chance of something more happening between them, Esha was honest. She admitted that it might have worked, but it just didn't go that far. 'Maybe could have happened,' she said, but explained that timing and compatibility didn't line up. She added, 'There was no drama or bitterness. It just wasn't meant to be.'

WI vs AUS, 1st Test: Seales, Shamar shine against Australia on 14-wicket day 1
Jayden Seales and Shamar Joseph breathed life into West Indies' pace attack with a stirring nine-wicket haul between them, as Australia were bowled out for 180 on a gripping first day of the opening Test at Kensington Starc, captain Pat Cummins, and Josh Hazlewood shared four wickets to pull Australia back into the contest, reducing West Indies to 57 for 4 at stumps - still trailing by 123 runs - and leaving the match delicately finished with 5 for 60, his third five-wicket haul in Tests - all of them at home - while Joseph claimed 4 for 46 in a performance that evoked memories of West Indies' storied fast-bowling at it tomorrow for Day 2.#WIvAUS #FullAhEnergy Windies Cricket (@windiescricket) June 25, 2025 "This one was pretty special," Seales said. "To play against Australia and get five on the first day was special. The plan with the new ball was to bowl fuller and at the stumps. Shamar was special today. He got through the top order and made it easier for the rest of us."Australia, missing Steve Smith through injury and having dropped Marnus Labuschagne, fielded a reshuffled top order that struggled from the outset. Debutant Sam Konstas was trapped lbw by Joseph for 3, and Cameron Green fell in the same over, edging to second slip after being dropped once. Josh Inglis, covering for Smith at No. 4, top-edged a pull off Seales to give wicketkeeper Shai Hope the first of his four Khawaja (47) and Travis Head (59) put on 89 for the fourth wicket - the only significant partnership of the innings - before Joseph returned to remove Khawaja just before he could reach his half-century. From there, Australia folded, losing 7 for who had survived a contentious review for a low catch behind, was eventually dismissed after tea, caught off Justin Greaves. Pat Cummins made 28 to push the score past 170, but Seales wrapped up the innings in under 57 180 was their lowest total in the Caribbean after batting first, and their lowest in the region since 1995 in Indies sensed an opening, but Australia's pace attack struck quickly. Mitchell Starc removed both openers - Kraigg Brathwaite edged to second slip for 4, and John Campbell was squared up by one that shaped away. Cummins had Keacy Carty caught behind for 20, and Josh Hazlewood bowled nightwatchman Jomel Warrican for a Brandon King, who had a difficult day in the field with three dropped catches, remained unbeaten on 23. He was joined by returning captain Roston Chase (1*), who saw out the final few overs under fading surface, dry and cracked, offered movement and bounce throughout the day. Ten of the 14 wickets fell to edges, underlining how testing the conditions were for day mirrored Australia's collapse against South Africa in the recent World Test Championship final, when 14 wickets also fell on the opening day at Lord's. There will be concerns in the visiting camp - particularly with a new-look batting order - but their bowlers ensured they stayed in the fight.- Ends

Shamar Joseph denied five-wicket haul after third umpire disallows clean catch to spark controversy
Despite getting little support from his fielders - West Indies dropped four catches on Day 1 of the first Test against Australia in Barbados - Shamar Joseph would have, or rather should have, ended up with a five-wicket haul but for a controversial decision by third umpire Adrian Holdstock. Shamar Joseph of West Indies bites his shirt and smiles during the first day of the 1st test match against Australia at Kensington Oval, Bridgetown, Barbados(AFP) Shamar Joseph, brimming with pride for ripping through the Australian top-order, delivered a short and wide delivery on the second ball of the 46th over to Travis Head. The Australian batter gave it an almighty swing but ended up making no contact. There was a noise as the ball went past the bat, Joseph went up in a huge appeal, he almost ended up pleading but umpire Nitin Menon shook his head. Joseph then asked the keeper, Shai Hope, who was unsure whether it carried cleanly or not. West Indies captain Roston Chase also denied going upstairs but umpire Nitin Menon decided to have a chat with the squareleg umpire and sent it upstairs, asking the third umpire to check whether the ball had carried into Hope's gloves or not. That meant, Menon was sure that Head had got some bat on it. The UltraEldge confirmed it. There was a clear spike as the ball went past Head's bat, confirming a bottom edge. Now came the difficult part: Did it carry? The West Indies players started to celebrate after seeing the first replay, so did the crowd at the Kensington Oval for obvious reasons but Head also had his reasons to believe that it had bounced. One replay showed it did but the other, a bit hazy, painted an unclear picture. Holdstock took his own sweet time, as he should have but surprisingly, ruled in favour of the batter, stating that there was no conclusive evidence that the ball head carried cleanly into Hope's gloves. "The ball seems to carry through to Hope, but the third umpire (Adrian Holdstock) says that there is no conclusive evidence that the ball has carried. Oh my word - that call will be debated long after this day is done, and how big a decision will that prove to be?!" read ESPNCricinfo's live commentary. There were many reactions on social media, mainly criticising third umpire Holdstock for denying Joseph a five-wicket haul. Head could not inflict more damage as he could only add six more runs to his tally before getting dismissed for 59. Joseph, who took four out of the first five Australian wickets on the opening day on a lovely Barbados pitch, could not complete a five-wicket haul but teammate Jayden Seals did it for him. Seales took 5-60, his third test five-for, all at home, but Shamar Joseph was the more impressive bowler with 4-46. In nine tests, he has 34 wickets, 17 of them Australians. He owned the morning session. Australia was all out inside 57 overs for its lowest total - 180 - in the West Indies after batting first. Only three batters got into double figures: Usman Khawaja (47), Travis Head (59) and captain Pat Cummins (28). The Australian quicks, however, gave a strong reply by reducing West Indies 57 for 4 at stumps. Mitchell Starc struck twice while captain Pat Cummins and Josh Hazlewood picked up a wicket apiece.
