All out for 27 runs in 14.3 overs – so many records, so many achievements in one Test

All out for 27 runs in 14.3 overs – so many records, so many achievements in one Test
However, it is the lowest team total in West Indies’ Test history. The previous record was 47 against England at the same ground in 2004.
West Indies’ total overs combined. This is their lowest team total in a Test match in which they were all out twice. The previous low was 175 against England at The Oval in 1957. The West Indies took just 14.3 overs to be all out, the lowest in the history of the third Test. Only South Africa (12.3 overs, 1924) and Sri Lanka (13.5 overs, against South Africa, November 2024) have been all out in fewer overs. This is the first time in Test history that a team has had seven batsmen dismissed for ducks in an innings. Six bowlers have been dismissed for nought nine times before, most recently at Edgbaston earlier this month. The number of balls Starc took to take five wickets is the fastest five-wicket haul in a Test. The previous record was 19 balls – held by Ernie Toshack (1947), Stuart Broad (2015) and Scott Boland (2021). The combined total between the West Indies and Australia in this Test is the seventh lowest in a men’s Test match. It is the lowest since 1910 in a match in which both teams have been all out twice. The four innings of the Test were played off 1,045 balls. The four innings are the fewest since 1910 and the fourth lowest overall.
