Scott Boland rips heart from West Indies to leave Australia awating victory
Tourists need 459 runs to win after second day of second TestPhotograph: Chris Hyde/Getty ImagesPhotograph: Chris Hyde/Getty ImagesScott Boland’s heroics have put Australia within touching distance of a Frank Worrell Trophy clean sweep after a triple-wicket maiden over left the West Indies reeling in the second Test.
The Victorian drew the edge of West Indies captain Kraigg Brathwaite on his first ball of the night, before trapping Shamarh Brooks lbw and snagging Jermaine Blackwood to a superb Cameron Green catch in the gully in the same over. The wickets drew rapturous applause for the right-armer wherever he went at the Adelaide Oval, while his average is now the best in Test history of any player with 20 or more wickets.
Pink-ball king Mitchell Starc also claimed one wicket to go with his two in the afternoon during the Windies’ first innings, courtesy of a smart review to get Tagenarine Chanderpaul down legside.Photograph: William West/AFP/Getty Images
