Well, that finished quickly. It took only ten days of play for Australia to seal the 2025 Frank Worrell Trophy 3-0, continuing their unbeaten run against West Indies since 1995-96.
When West Indies set out to chase 204 in the third Test, their lowest target in the series, Ian Bishop in the commentary box pleaded for the West Indian batters to support their bowlers' efforts. But what unfolded was a quick submission.
Mitchell Starc, in his 100th Test, started with a triple-wicket maiden over and the hosts were soon shot down for 27 in 14.3 overs, their lowest Test total and the least number of balls they have faced in a completed innings.

In 14 Tests since 2024, West Indies have gone past the 200-run mark in their second innings only three times. Australia, on the other hand, came to the Caribbean with a few questions to answer in the batting department, especially around their top three.
The batters from both sides averaged only 17.68 runs per wicket. It is the lowest batting average in a series of three Tests or more in the 21st century.
