Australia skittle Windies for 27 - lowest Test total for 70 years

Australia bowled out West Indies for just 27 - the second lowest score in Test history, and the worst since 1955 - to complete a 176-run win and series clean sweep in Jamaica.

The Windies total on the third day of the day-night Test in Jamaica was just one run more than New Zealand's 26 all out against England in 1955. The previous lowest total by West Indies was the 47 they managed against England in 2004.

Australia pace bowler Mitchell Starc, playing in his 100th Test, took 6-9 in figures that included five wickets in 15 balls.

It is the fastest five-wicket haul in Test cricket and also took Starc passed the 400 wicket mark in the longer form of the game.

Australia bowler Scott Boland also weighed in with a hat-trick as the tourists won the series 3-0.

"It's heartbreaking to be in a position where we think we can win the game and then come out and have that poor batting display," said Windies captain Roston Chase, whose side needed 204 for victory having bowled out the tourists for just 121 in their second innings.

"It's something that has been recurring for the whole series - that makes it even more disappointing."
