[WATCH] Mitchell Starc sledges back Jayden Seales during WI vs AUS 3rd Test in Jamaica

The third Test of the three-match series between the West Indies and Australia was full of entertainment and fuss around it as the players got into heated moments throughout the three days. The start of the two-part episode was when the right-arm pacer Jayden Seales charged up to Mitchell Starc after knocking his stumps down on the first evening of the day-night Test.

Seales, perhaps, wasn’t aware of the situation. He ran in hard and disturbed the stumps of the left-handed batter, Mitchell Starc, with a cracking yorker. The pacer stopped in the middle and pointed his arm towards the Australian dressing room as Starc left the field with a smile on his face. He was superb with the ball that evening, making it hard for the visiting batters.

But Starc got the best chance to give it back during the third and what proved to be the last day of the series. The left-arm pacer started the second innings with a bang, having found the outside edge of John Campbell on the first ball of the defense. The last wicket was off Seales, who couldn’t handle the firing yorker, as Starc had a huge roar to the pacer, who had nothing to do but soak it in the end.

Australia had already retained their Frank-Worrell Trophy, coming into the third fixture of the series at Sabina Park in Jamaica. In the first innings, the tourists got rolled over for just 225 runs on the board as none of the batters could reach a half-century. It wasn’t the sweetest performance ever from the home side with the bat.

The Roston Chase-led side got 143 runs in their first innings as only John Campbell crossed the 35-run mark. The rest of the line-up had no idea of how to face the touring pacers under the artificial lights. The ball kept swinging and nipping around in the air, making it incredibly hard for the batters.

Another inspiring performance with the ball, led by Alzarri Joseph’s five-wicket haul, saw the Aussies make only 121 runs in the second innings. But that was enough even only for the fourth innings as the Caribbean team blew away for just 27 with Starc enjoying a magical figure of 6/9 in the second innings of his 100th Test.
