4/3/24, 3:32 PM Aus vs WI - 2nd Test - A fairytale day in the life of Shamar Joseph | ESPNcricinfo

Mitchell Marsh is looking to be aggressive, the manner that has defined his return to the Test side, but a ball after he
dispatches Shamar behind point he edges a rising delivery into the slips. The chance is parried by Alick Athanaze but Justin
Greaves is there to take the rebound. West Indies have caught very well in this series.

Then it's Alex Carey, who had brought Australia back into the game on the second day, as he's bowled by a full delivery. Each
time, whatever pain Shamar is feeling from his toe, which is still bleeding as it pounds through the crease, disappears as he
sprints off into the Gabba outfield.

Mitchell Starc lives dangerous and quickly whittles the runs required down to under fifty alongside Smith, but his luck runs
out when he carves high into the off side to give Shamar his fifth wicket.

Pat Cummins helped Australia to a thrilling victory at Edgbaston last year and just a couple of days ago made his career-best
score to save his side from a huge deficit. He's asked to play his part in another rescue act. Despite his injury, Shamar is able
to generate significant pace and it doesn't drop throughout his spell. His quickest ball is against Smith - 149.6kph - and the
next delivery he has Cummins edging behind.

The umpires offer Brathwaite an extension to the session, which he accepts, meaning Smith has to make an abrupt about-
turn when almost off the ground. He and Nathan Lyon survive four overs through to the dinner break, with Australia needing
29.

Shamar leads the team off with figures of 10-0-60-6 as though it's some wild one-dayer. He's clearly limping. He politely
declines a request for a snap TV interview as he leaves the field. In his place Kavem Hodge does the duties. When asked what
is keeping Shamar going, he says "special juice", and hopes there's some more left.

Alzarri Joseph bowls the first over of the middle session. Lyon glances a boundary and is then given a life from a tough return
catch. Shamar is living every moment down on the deep third boundary. Then Lyon bottom-edges a pull. West Indies need
one wicket. Shamar takes the ball.
