Shamar Joseph's fiery spell against Australia prompts Indian fans to urge BCCI: 'Trade him for Prasidh Krishna, Shardul Thakur'
Shamar Joseph. New Delhi: West Indies fast bowler Shamar Joseph bowled fiercely with the new ball, against Australia during the first Test in Kensington Oval. The pacer, who was instrumental to West Indies claiming their first Test win in Australia in 27 years in 2024, was a nightmare to Pat Cummins and his men-this time back home. Bowling with an economical tight opening spell, Joseph gave away only 13 runs in the opening seven overs and picked up the wickets of Sam Konstas and Cameron Green that put Australia under an early pressure. Joseph bowled a peach in in the fourth over of the game to pin Konstas in front of the wicket. Australian opener, who couldn't find a spot among the team in the WTC Final, was dismissed by only 3 runs. Joseph then made another opportunity in the final ball of the over but Brandon King did not hold onto the catch of Cameron Green. But the young pacemen did not stop here and outpaced Green later in the 10th over for 3 runs. He created havoc as well with Usman Khawaja and nearly dismissed him in the eighth over, but another catch went down off his bowling. Social media fans could not have enough words to praise Shamar Joseph whose electric spell put Australia in severe pressure when the match first started. Some even went further and jested on Twitter that the BCCI should have him in exchange of Shardul Thakur and Prasidh Krishna who have merited criticism due to their unimpressive performance against England in the Leeds Test. What a delivery Shamar Joseph to dismiss Sam Konstas he was finally rewarded for good line and length .

Australia 22/3. — Kashif (@cricstate) June 25, 2025 Prior to this, Pat Cummins, the Australia captain won the toss and chose to bat first on the first test of a three-match series and Joseph came to destroy his strategy with his deadly spell. In an effort to break a 34-year-old jinx against Australia in not once winning a home series against them, the West Indies have undergone massive transformation in their team that had drawn the last series in Pakistan earlier this year. It is the 50th Test match of off-spinning all-rounder Roston Chase, who is coming to the West Indies line-up after three years. His new-look team has just three of the players in the line-up which registered a series-levelling win on a turning Multan pitch five months ago former captain Kraigg Brathwaite, all-rounder Justin Greaves and left-arm spinner Jomel Warrican.

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
