Australia complete perfect 8-0 sweep on the dominant West Indies tour
Australia completed a sweep of the Twenty20 international cricket series with a three-wicket victory over West Indies to finish its Caribbean tour with an 8-0 record. Australia went into the last game on a 7-match winning streak following the 3-0 test series sweep and victories in the first four of the T20 internationals. After winning the toss for the eighth straight time, Australia sent the home team in to bat and dismissed West Indies for 170 two balls short of the allotted 20 overs on Monday night. Shimron Hetmyer's 52 from 31 balls and Sherfane Rutherford's 35 off 17 propped up the innings but the target wasn't big enough to put genuine pressure on the Australian batters. Ben Dharshuis took 3-41 and Nathan Ellis finished with 2-32, while spinner Adam Zampa returned 1-20 in his 100th T20 international after taking a wicket and having a chance dropped off his bowling in the penultimate over. The Australians reached 173-7 with 18 balls to spare, with a 63-run fifth-wicket partnership between Mitchell Owen (37 off 17 deliveries) and Cameron Green (32 off 18) stabilizing the innings. Aaron Hardie finished not out on 28. West Indies had Australia in trouble in the opening powerplay with Jason Holder and Alzarri Joseph taking two wickets apiece, but the runs kept flowing. Holder dismissed Glenn Maxwell for a golden duck, the first ball of the second over, when the Australian allrounder swung at a ball that shaped away and edged to short third-man where Jediah Blades juggled the catch but held the second grab. Holder also removed Josh Inglis (10) at the end of the second over. Joseph bowled Mitch Marsh (14) as Australia slipped to 29-3 after 2.2 overs and, after on onslaught of sixes, he had Tim David (30 from 12 balls) caught in the deep as Australia slipped to 60-4 in the fifth over. From there, Owen and Green dominated with a succession of sixes, including one by Owen that landed on the roof on a pavilion. Left-arm spinner Akeal Hosein was finally introduced to the attack to change the pace, and had an immediate impact with his second delivery to dismiss Owen and break up the important partnership. Hosein also dismissed Green and Ben Dwarshuis to return 3-17.

WATCH: Australia sign off with perfect 8-0 record vs West Indies, whitewash Windies in T20I series
Australia cricket team beat West Indies 5-0 to win the T20I series in the Caribbean. (Source: X) Australia completed a dominant performance in the Caribbean completing a 8-0 hammering of the West Indies across the Test and T20I format. The Aussies posted their first-ever T20I series whitewash against two-time T20 World Cup champions Windies with a three-wicket win in the fifth and final T20I match in Basseterre on Tuesday. Australia had gone into the last game with a 7-match winning streak following the 3-0 Test series sweep and victories in the first four of the T20 internationals. It was Australia's first sweep of a five-game T20 series and only the second at the most elite level after India's in New Zealand in 2019-20. 'To be honest, I didn't expect 5-0,' Australia captain Mitchell Marsh said on Tuesday. 'It (the sweep) was something we spoke about after the fourth game. We knew no Australian team had done it. It'll be something we're very proud of. Across the board over the five games, we played some really good cricket.' WATCH Australia win the fifth and final T20I match vs West Indies HERE… Clean Sweep in the Caribbean 💥 Australia deliver a clinical all-round show to seal a 5-0 win over West Indies 🙌#AUSvWI — FanCode (@FanCode) July 29, 2025 After winning the toss for the 8th time in a row, Australians decided to bowl first and dismissed West Indies for 170, two balls short of their allotted 20 overs. Rajasthan Royals star Shimron Hitmyer's 52 from 31 balls and Gujarat Titans batter Sherfane Rutherford's 35 off 17 gave the Windies a fighting total in the final T20I match. For Australia, left-arm pacer Ben Dharshuis took 3/41 and Nathan Ellis claimed 2/32, while spinner Adam Zampa returned 1/20 in his landmark 100th T20 international after taking a wicket and also had a chance dropped off his bowling in the penultimate over. Who were the match-winners for Australia in 5th T20I The Australians reached 173 for 7 with 18 balls to spare, thanks to a 63-run fifth-wicket partnership between Punjab Kings all-rounder Mitchell Owen (37 off 17 deliveries) and in-form Cameron Green (32 off 18). Aaron Hardie finished not out on 28. West Indies had Australia in trouble in the opening powerplay with Jason Holder and Alzarri Joseph taking two wickets apiece, but the runs kept flowing in spite of the wickets. Holder dismissed Glenn Maxwell for a golden duck – the first ball of the second over, when the Australian allrounder swung at a ball that shaped away and edged to short third-man where Jediah Blades juggled the catch but held the second grab. Holder also removed Josh Inglis (10) at the end of the second over. Joseph bowled Marsh (14) as Australia slipped to 29-3 after 2.2 overs and, after on onslaught of sixes, he had Tim David (30 from 12 balls) caught in the deep as Australia slipped to 60-4 in the fifth over. From there, Owen and Green dominated with a succession of sixes, including one by Owen that landed on the roof on a pavilion. 'The wickets were better than the Tests. A lot of guys had great series. Josh Inglis and Tim David played beautifully. It was great to be part of this series. There's about five guys in this team that could bat No.4 so I'll have to wait and see moving forward. I'm hoping to bowl in the next few months. I'm still trying to work T20 batting out. I had some great partnerships during the series,' player of the series Cameron Green said. Australia had a three-wicket win to open the T20 series before Josh Inglis and Cameron Green spearheaded an eight-wicket victory that spoiled Andre Russell's last game for West Indies in the second game at Kingston, Jamaica. The tourists then clinched the series on the back of a 37-ball century by Tim David in St. Kitts on Friday before Inglis and Green again combined to help them win the fourth game.

The world's oldest cowboy and still livin' the dream
Bob Holder takes a break after a long day mustering and feeding his cattle, plumping them up before he leaves the farm to ride in an outback rodeo. The 95-year-old cowboy won't rest for very long. He never has. Working on the land, under the sun, alongside animals is exactly what's kept him going strong for close to a century. "You've got something to do every day and you're doing it yourself," Mr Holder told AAP from his property at Cootamundra in the NSW Riverina. "I've got something in my life, I haven't just wasted my life or walked around drinking grog all my life." Mr Holder is preparing to ride with the rope and tie team at Mount Isa Rodeo in outback Queensland from August 8, having competed in thousands of events across Australia and overseas for eight decades. Long known as the "Cootamundra cat" for his lithe riding skills and straight-talk, he is thought to be the oldest competing cowboy in the world. He began at Tumut rodeo in southern NSW after working with his drover father to break in rogues for farmers to ride. By 14, Mr Holder had little interest in calming the animals. He much preferred the wild ones. "I really like bucking horses ... so I thought, 'I'm gonna be a cowboy'," he said. "It gives you a thrill to stay on them, they're tough. "I love a horse that gets right up in the air and really bucks." In his first decade of competing, Mr Holder was a regular feature on the pages of the Cootamundra Herald, which proudly tracked his every move in the rodeo world. He made page two in a 1954 edition for winning a bareback championship and earned the affectionate description of "our local roughrider" when he set out for Queensland's Warwick Rodeo later that year. One of his early wins was relegated to the end of a story about a rare "lady rider" under the headline, Girl Rider Delights Rodeo Crowd. Mr Holder has seen plenty of welcome changes in the sport since those days, including the specialised breeding of rodeo horses that are treated with the same reverence as thoroughbred racers. After suffering minor riding injuries in his 50s and 60s, Mr Holder's peers urged him to retire. "They'd say, 'You have to give it up, you shouldn't be doing this kind of thing at your age'. "Oh, go away - it was a couple of broken bones, that's all." He has outridden those pleas by four decades and missed only one Mount Isa Rodeo in his storied career. "It's the best rodeo in Australia and any outdoor rodeo in the world. "It's well-run, perfect bucking stock, all spectators can get a hell of a good view, nobody can miss anything or get jammed in a corner. "You can't wish for anything better than that." The biggest rodeo in the southern hemisphere, itself a 65-year institution, was bolstered by a $1 million state government lifeline after it went into voluntary administration in late 2024. It prides itself on outback traditions, while giving young and Indigenous riders their start. Though Mr Holder has shared plenty of wisdom with those up-and-coming riders, their influence on him is just as vital. "You get too old, too quickly if you start mixing with older people," he said. "You mix with young people and you live longer." Bob Holder takes a break after a long day mustering and feeding his cattle, plumping them up before he leaves the farm to ride in an outback rodeo.
