Australian cricket legend Allan Border has described Kevin Sinclair’s first Test wicket celebration as “the best ever” after a chaotic second day of the Gabba match.
The West Indies started the day at 8-266 and managed to reach 311 thanks to Sinclair’s debut half-century.
Australia’s day then started in chaotic circumstances with Steve Smith failing in his new opening spot again to depart for six.
Australia then collapsed to lose four wickets for 16 runs with Marnus Labuschagne, Cameron Green and Travis Head all going cheaply.
Kemar Roach went into the second session on a hat-trick and couldn’t claim it but didn’t have to wait long to see another wicket as he caught Mitchell Marsh for 21 off the bowling of Alzarri Joseph. The West Indies subsequently had Australia reeling at 5-54.
However, a counter-attacking innings of 65 from Alex Carey helped his side get back in the contest before Shamar Joseph claimed his wicket.
Mitchell Starc departed soon after at 7-161 but Usman Khawaja kept ticking along at the other end to save Australia’s innings.
Eventually the opener fell for 75, nicking to Alick Athanaze at slip and handing Sinclair his first Test wicket.
The off-spinner then ran off and completed a front flip into a backflip mid-air.
