West Indies chasing 204 in Jamaica, Carey sidelined
Australia were bowled out for 121 early on day three, their lowest total against West Indies since Courtney Walsh and Curtly Ambrose were wreaking havoc in 1995.
It was Alzarri and Shamar Joseph who did the damage for West Indies this time, with the former claiming 5-27 after dominating under lights on day two.
It then took just eight overs for the West Indies' quicks to take the final four wickets on Monday afternoon (Tuesday AEST), with Shamar Joseph finishing with 4-34.
The timing of the batting demise could prove an issue for Australia, given they will have to bowl three hours in daylight before entering the dangerous night session.
Alex Carey will also be unable to keep wicket for Australia, diagnosed with a concussion after being struck in the head by Alzarri Joseph on day two.
Carey passed an on-field test on after the first-ball blow, but was dismissed two balls later when he charged the West Indies quick and edged him to slip.
Josh Inglis will now keep in Carey's place, following a subsequent concussion test. Carey was spotted at the ground in Jamaica on Monday.
After Australia's day started with that news, Cameron Green was bowled on the first ball of play when he left a Shamar Joseph delivery that seamed back in at him.
Green had appeared the only assured batter for Australia on Saturday, with his 42 at No. 3 following scores of 52 and 46 in his previous two innings.
Pat Cummins followed in the fourth over of the day, defending an Alzarri Joseph bouncer to Kevlon Anderson at short leg on five.
Scott Boland and Josh Hazlewood were then bowled by Shamar and Alzarri Joseph to finish the innings.
Australia have already wrapped up the Frank Worrell Trophy, but a 3-0 series victory would help set up their push to reclaim the World Test Championship in 2027.
Australia's bid to clean sweep the Frank Worrell Trophy is under threat, after the tourists set West Indies 204 to win the third Test in Jamaica.

‘Wasting everybody's time': AFL Tribunal ‘farce' laid bare
Criticism towards the AFL for their decision to send Carlton's Adam Cerra's charge for umpire contact to the tribunal amid their mid-season rule change has come thick and fast. The Blues star walked away from Tuesday night's hearing with a $5,500 fine, a mere $125 closer to the Blues' hoped figure of a five grand figure than the AFL's $6,125. The end sanction was $750 less than he could have received had the league got its way. FOX FOOTY, available on Kayo Sports, is the only place to watch every match of every round in the 2025 Toyota AFL Premiership Season LIVE in 4K, with no ad-breaks during play. New to Kayo? Get your first month for just $1. Limited-time offer. Speaking on Fox Footy's AFL 360, host and veteran broadcaster Gerard Whateley was pointed in his assessment of the league's handling of a process that required plenty of resources for so such a minuscule outcome. 'I've covered the Tribunal since I was a cub reporter. I've seen high farce, when cases were cooked up in the lifts and the chairman present!' Gerard Whateley began. 'I've seen players blatantly lie and pure themselves. I've heard bio-mechanists invent the most fanciful stories. I have seen character witness, submissions from Prime Ministers to lower penalties... 'Tonight, the AFL has reached new levels of high farce, as they quibbled over $1,250 with a panel of lawyers who will shortly bill for about $30,000.' The AFL's introduction of a Tribunal hearing for any player who is sanctioned for umpire contact four times in 12 months allows the league leeway to argue for a player's suspension. MATT ROWELL — 4 GEORGE HEWETT — 4 JACK MACRAE — 4 ZAK BUTTERS — 3 JORDAN DAWSON — 3 HARLEY REID — 3 WILLEM DREW — 3 HUNTER CLARK — 3 Four umpires have been concussed as a result of umpire contact in the last 12 months, which was undoubtedly a big part of the AFL's reason to crack down on the contact as Whateley explained. 'I don't dismiss the broader principal, which is important... (but) it has gone too far. The AFL is duty-bound to its umpires to address it — the only way to do that is to confront players,' continued Whateley. 'But to go into a Tribunal hearing with two lawyers, Jeff Gleeson — who's one of the country's most esteemed — the two members of the jury and the admin staff ... to quibble over $1,250 to set this principal, I don't think they have quite achieved what they wanted to achieve. 'If you wanted to make a stand, and a stand worth making, you had to leave the spectre of suspension on the table — at least for a while, but that was withdrawn immediately. 'This is just wasting everybody's time. If you want to ramp the fines up, just write it into the guidelines and ramp the fines up.' Cerra will line up for Carlton this Saturday night when the Blues go up against Melbourne.

Robert Hickmott preparing challenging campaign for Melbourne Cup prospect Revelare
Dual Melbourne Cup -winning trainer Robert Hickmott has realistic expectations on Revelare. The aspiring spring stayer, a six-time winner from eight starts, is set to have a jumpout at Ballarat on Thursday. Revelare has not been sighted publicly since winning at Flemington on March 1, before an untimely illness thwarted a bid to contest the Cup-qualifying Roy Higgins Quality. Revelare sparked early Cups potential chatter with five wins on the trot, going from 0-64 at Seymour to BM84 Flemington success, in eight weeks. 'He's matured a hell of a lot,' Hickmott said. 'He's got to go a long way to even think about getting into a Melbourne Cup or anything like that … but so far so good. 'He's been a bit lazy the old boy at home, so it will be nice to poke around on the Poly (track) to get him up and about a bit.' Hickmott has the Cup-qualifying The Bart Cummings (2500m) – October 4 at Flemington – lined up as the 'main goal' to get into the race that stops a nation. Revelare makes it FIVE wins in a row ðŸ'¥ @Ryanhurdle9 @HickmottRobert — 7HorseRacing ðŸ�Ž (@7horseracing) March 1, 2025 Hickmott conceded Revelare potentially faced 'a very hard' Caulfield program, including a 1600m Benchmark 100, Listed Heatherlie Stakes (1700m) and Group 3 Foundation Cup (2000m) before The Bart Cummings at Flemington. Hickmott, who trained Melbourne Cup winners Green Moon (2012) and Almandin (2016), is realistic about the task ahead of Revelare. 'Hope he can handle Caulfield, otherwise we're in a bit of strife,' Hickmott said. 'He's shown good versatility the horse, for a lightly-raced horse, he's ticking a lot of boxes. 'You got to take into account (Revelare has) off-season racing (form), Benchmark racing, although he broke track records. 'He's still got to come up from preparation to preparation … who knows? Only time will tell.'

Grafton preview: Co-trainer Will Hulbert believes the unlucky Dillian can gain redemption with victory in the Grafton Cup
To say co-trainer Will Hulbert was surprised at the price of Dillian in the Listed Grafton Cup (2350m) would be an understatement. Hulbert is adamant Dillian should have won the Queen Elizabeth II Cup at Eagle Farm on May 31 and at least placed in the Caloundra Cup at the Sunshine Coast last start and feels the $26 is way over the odds. 'To be brutally honest in my opinion, I think he has been slaughtered his last three starts,' said Hulbert who trains in partnership with his father, Peter. The imported gelding finished 10th in the Group 3 Queen Elizabeth II Cup and last in the Group 2 Brisbane Cup behind Campaldino both times before an eighth to Half Yours in the Listed Caloundra Cup. Dillian does the punters proud, dominating Race 2 at Eagle Farm! @HulbertRacing â€' SKY Racing (@SkyRacingAU) April 26, 2025 The Form: Complete NSW Racing thoroughbred form, including video replays and all you need to know about every horse, jockey and trainer. Find a winner here! Prior to those three runs, he kicked off his campaign, his first for the stable, with back-to-back wins over 2050m at Doomben and 2400m at Eagle Farm. 'I think he should have run second in the Caloundra Cup, the Brisbane Cup, who knows if he can run two miles but being three-wide for the first 1000 metres doesn't help,' Hulbert said. 'In the QE II Cup, I've got no doubt in my mind he would have won that if he got clear air from the 800 metres. 'I would have thought Dillian would have been near favourite. 'We know he can definitely run the distance. 'I've got our old apprentice, Adin Thompson, on this week 'He doesn't need good luck to win, he just doesn't need bad luck. 'From barrier 4, he's going to get a nice run and if he gets clear running from the 800 metres, I think he will be the one to beat.' Joining Dillian in the Grafton Cup is fellow import Zoology who is also in his first preparation for the stable. The son of Zoustar pleased Hulbert on his first-up run over 1350m at Doomben despite beating just three home. The five-year-old then finished second over 1800m at the Sunshine Coast and third to Eaglemont over 1650m at Doomben before returning there last Saturday with a nice win over 2000m. Zoology pulls away and they couldn't catch him! ðŸ'¥ Rob Thorburn combines with @HulbertRacing to take out race 7 at Doomben. â€' SKY Racing (@SkyRacingAU) July 12, 2025 'He has shown a lot of ability from the first day her arrived in the stable,' Hulbert said. 'He was going really well leading into his first-up run for us but he just had to go back to near last from the barrier because I didn't want to give him a gut buster first-up. 'He still ran quite well and the form has been franked by The Inflictor. 'I thought he would win two starts ago over the mile at Doomben then I galloped him on the Saturday then when the data that came back from the Equimetre came back, I thought 'crap' he is looking for 2000 metres. 'That's was how he raced so we stepped him up to the 2000 metres last Saturday and he blew them away. He had a really good turn of foot at the end of it.' Apprentice Rob Thorburn rode Zoology a treat last weekend and Hulbert had no hesitation sticking with him in the Cup and isn't concerned by the five day back-up for the gelding. 'I had no intentions of taking Rob off at all,' he said. 'He rides a bit of work for me and has had 13 rides for five wins. 'The quick back-up back doesn't concern me at all. He pulled up extremely well. 'The only query is stepping up to the 2350 metres for the first time. 'From barrier 1, he's not going to spend any petrol for the first three-quarters of the race anyway so may as well through caution to the wind and see what happens.'
