West Indies Recorded Embarrassing Record In Tests, Folded For 27 Runs

The West Indies recorded an embarrassing record during the second innings of the third Test against Australia on Tuesday, July 15, getting folded for a mere 27 runs in 14.3 overs at Sabina Park, Kingston, which is now the second-lowest total in Test cricket history.

The hosts were chasing a decent total of 204 runs, and Mitchell Starc‘s triple-wicket first over triggered the collapse for West Indies, who later went on to finish with a figure of 6/9 in 7.3 overs, while Scott Boland picked up a hat-trick in the 14th over. Apart from Justin Greaves, every Caribbean batter got out for a single-digit score.

New Zealand holds the record for the lowest total, having scored 26 in 1955 against England.
