In a gripping Day 4 session of the Grenada Test between West Indies and Australia, pacer Shamar Joseph delivered a cracking spell to dent the visitors’ hopes, removing Pat Cummins with a near-unplayable delivery. The dismissal occurred on the fifth ball of the 64th over and proved pivotal as Joseph went on to claim four wickets, restricting Australia to 243 in their second innings.
Shamar Joseph dismisses Pat Cummins with a peach
Australia resumed the day with hopes of building a challenging lead, but Joseph had other plans. Bowling with energy and rhythm, he struck a major blow by dismissing Australian skipper Cummins early.
The delivery – a short-of-length ball just outside off – lured Cummins into a false stroke. With a tentative poke and an open face, the Aussie captain could only manage a thin edge through to wicketkeeper Shai Hope, who made no mistake behind the stumps. Cummins walked back without adding to his overnight score, a key moment that shifted momentum West Indies’ way.

Australia set West Indies a target of 277
Thanks to Joseph’s 4-wicket haul, West Indies successfully bundled out Australia for 243. The visitors’ collapse meant the home side now has a target of 277 runs to chase in the fourth innings – a challenging yet achievable total on a surface that has started to show signs of variable bounce.
With Joseph’s exploits injecting energy into the Caribbean camp, West Indies fans are hopeful of witnessing a memorable victory on home soil.
