Steve Smith and Starc dragged into ugly scenes as West Indies bowler faces sanction
West Indies quick Jayden Seales could be set for a fresh sanction after handing both Steve Smith and Mitchell Starc an over the top send-off after their dismissals. The Aussies were left reeling on day one of the third Test having been bowled out for 225 in the pink ball clash. While Smith and Cameron Green offered up some resistance, the West Indies bowlers dominated under lights with no player reaching a half-century. And Seales wasn't going to let his previous fine from the ICC deter him from getting in the faces of the Aussies and stirring up the emotions. Smith was closing in on his half-century when he edged a Shamar Joseph delivery to second-slip. And Seales opted to get in Smith's face and celebrate as he walked off the pitch. Reporter Bharat Sundaresan claimed the umpires then pulled Seales aside after yet another elaborate send-off from the quick this series. But Seales wasn't finished there and saved his biggest for last. The West Indies quick bowled Starc for his second-wicket of the evening. The delivery cut back and when straight through bat and pad to clean up the stumps. And Seales celebrated directly in Starc's face as he pointed at the bowler. Starc couldn't help but smile as walked off the pitch. While Starc may have seen the amusing side of the aggressive send-off, the ICC may not when it comes time to look at the two moments. Seales has already been fined by the ICC after he gave Pat Cummins a send-off on the opening day of the first cricket Test against Australia. Send-offs are a thing of the past and strictly forbidden under the ICC's current laws. Article 2.5 of the ICC's code of conduct forbids "using language, actions or gestures which disparage or which could provoke an aggressive reaction from a batter upon dismissal."

Seales was clearly frustrated after leaking runs and pointed Cummins in the direction of the dressing rooms. This saw him fined 15 per cent of his match fee and earn one demerit point. "In addition to this, one demerit point has been added to the disciplinary record of Seales, for whom it was the second offence in a 24-month period, taking his tally of demerit points in a 24-month period to two," the governing body said in a statement after the first test match. If a player accrues four demerit points in a 24-month period they receive a ban. Seales could be close to this four demerit point limit after his two clashes with Smith and Starc this time round.

And while Australia only managed to scramble 225 on the board, Green was full of compliments of Smith. "It was almost like he was batting on a different wicket," Green said of his veteran partner. Despite struggling against teh pink ball, Green was impressed with his teammates having left the West Indies 1-16 to start the day's play tomorrow. "We just wanted to give them a tricky last 45 minutes at the end and to get them one down is really crucial," he added.

Sam Konstas urged to keep perspective in bid to find Test form and win Ashes spot
Pat Cummins has urged Sam Konstas to keep looking at the bigger picture as the young opener takes time to find his feet after returning to the Australia side in the West Indies. Konstas could not hide his disappointment after chopping a wide delivery from Jayden Seales onto his stumps for a fourth-ball duck in Australia's second innings, before the team extended their 30-year stranglehold on the Frank Worrell Trophy with a 133-run victory over West Indies in the second Test. The 19-year-old had given himself a platform with a measured 25 before driving away from his body and nicking to the keeper on the first day in Grenada. But with only 33 runs from four innings in the West Indies and a Test average that has dropped to 18.25 after clubbing 60 on debut against India, pressure is mounting on Konstas to post a big score and stake his claim to open when the Ashes begins in November. 'For anyone who is starting out their Test career, you're kind of picked for a reason, and you at your best, we know is good enough,' Cummins said. 'It's just about concentrating on what makes you a really good player. 'Someone like a batter, it might be where you score, your areas, what tempo do you normally operate at your best. And just don't get too caught up in every innings feeling like the biggest thing in the world. I think the stat is even the best batters in the world don't hit their average three out of four times, you're going to fail more often than you're going to succeed. 'So just as long as you're a quick learner, as long as you're moving well and giving yourself the best chance, just keep kind of doubling down on that and judge yourself after a series or so, not innings by innings.' While there are lingering concerns around Australia's top order with veteran opener Usman Khawaja also out of sorts, the middle order has remained reliable in the Caribbean. Alex Carey has continued on with his rich vein of form while Beau Webster has quickly settled into the all-rounder role and is making valuable runs batting at No 6. Australia's keeper was named player of the match for critical knocks of 63 and 30 in the second Test, and has now averaged 41.71 since the start of last summer. 'Any opposition that has a No 7, it's normally a keeper, but who walks in and you know they are in good form, can move the game quickly, they are some of the scariest players,' Cummins said. 'We feel really lucky to have 'Kes' in our side that does that. Sign up to The Spin Subscribe to our cricket newsletter for our writers' thoughts on the biggest stories and a review of the week's action after newsletter promotion 'Last week, I thought he was close to the man of the match as well. It's a really tricky period to bat at five, six and seven, the game's normally in the balance, but time and time again, him along with a couple of the others seem to take the game away from the opposition.' Despite another quick turnaround, Cummins expects the bowling attack to back up again for the third Test starting on Saturday local time (Sunday 4.30am AEST), after Australia needed fewer than 110 overs to dismiss West Indies twice at St George's. Left-armer Mitchell Starc is in line to play his 100th Test after being the pick of the bowlers with three for 24 as Australia closed in on victory in the second win over West India. Starc will become just the second Australia pacer behind Glenn McGrath to reach the milestone and is within reach of another landmark with 395 wickets at 27.39. 'It's a huge effort, as a fast bowler as well, he's bowling 145 [km / hour] at the end of that game,' Cummins said. 'I can't fathom playing 100 games and keeping that kind of speed. He's just a warrior, just turns up every week and wants to play, no matter what, just cracks on.'

Aussie 'disaster' brutally called out as Pat Cummins 'magic' stuns cricket world
A moment of magic from Pat Cummins in the field has failed to take the spotlight off Australia's brittle top order batters, after another collapse handed momentum back to the West Indies on day two of the second Test in Grenada. Cummins took a screamer of a catch to help dismiss the Windies for 253 in their first innings, giving the Aussies a lead of 33 runs to build on. But openers Sam Konstas (0) and Usman Khawaja (2) both fell cheaply late in the final session to throw up more questions around the Aussie top order. Konstas lasted just four balls in the second innings after playing on to his stumps from a Jayden Seales delivery to depart for a duck. And Australia were left reeling at 2-4 when Khawaja was trapped lbw by Seales a short time later. Nathan Lyon came in as nightwatchman alongside Cameron Green and the pair navigated a tricky final few overs to get Australia to 2-12 at stumps, with a lead of 45 runs heading into day three. Konstas, in just his fourth Test, looked better in the first innings after registering 25, following scores of 3 and 5 during the opening match of the series in Barbados. But the 19-year-old's misery continued on day two as he slashed at a Seales delivery outside the off stump and chopped it back onto his stumps. Khawaja became Seales' second victim after the veteran left-hander was once again exposed by a right-arm quick coming around the wicket. The ball swung in and nipped back off the seam, before clattering into the pads of Khawaja, whose lack of footwork was brutally exposed as he remained anchored in his crease with a look of disbelief on his face. It followed scores of 0 and 6 for Khawaja in last month's World Test championship final defeat to South Africa. And the 38-year-old also struggled in the second innings of the first Test against the Windies after registering just 15, having made a patient 47 in the first innings but failing to convert it into a big score. RELATED: Teammate facing the axe as Steve Smith takes big step towards return Labuschagne in stunning on-field moment as Aussies win first Test The pressure will now turn to Green to when day three resumes, as the Aussie batter looks to justify his elevation to No.3 after a long injury lay-off. Green returned for the WTC final but could only manage scores of 4 and 0 against South Africa, and he fell cheaply in both innings of the first Test against the Windies - out for 3 and 15. Steve Smith's return from a gruesome finger injury is a massive boost for the Aussies and they'll need the veteran to step up in his second dig as they look to take an unassailable 2-0 series lead against the Windies. But Australia's persistent top order struggles must surely be cause for concern for selectors, ahead of the home Ashes series later this year. It's remarkable that Australia have been generally winning Tests the last 18 top order is an absolute disaster. I can't recall when its been worse ever. #AUSvWI — David Lithgow (@lithgowflashman) July 4, 2025 Australia top order folding faster than me when i am on a diet 😂 #AUSvWI — Tinky KoKo 🇦🇺 (@tinkykoko) July 4, 2025 Australia need two new openers One is past it and the other isn't up to it #AUSvWI — thetipsman (@thetipsguru) July 4, 2025 Australia's shaky second innings came after spinner Nathan Lyon (3-75) led the way for the bowling attack, and Cummins took a remarkable catch off his own bowling to stun the Windies. Josh Hazlewood (2-43) and Cummins (2-46) were typically dangerous, while Travis Head's part-time off-spin was successfully used to find the 10th wicket to wrap up the innings. Hazlewood removed opener Kraigg Brathwaite without scoring off the 11th ball of the day, courtesy of a smart caught-and-bowled dismissal. But it was Cummins' catch off his own bowling that left viewers stunned as the Aussie captain dived full stretch to remove Keacy Carty for six in the ninth over. Windies opener John Campbell was then sent back to the pavilion after a brisk 40, caught by Mitchell Starc off Beau Webster as the home side slumped to 3-64. But Brandon King (39) and Roston Chase (16) steadied the ship with a 46-run fourth-wicket stand to help the hosts get to lunch at 3-110. Chase added just one more run in the final session before falling lbw to Hazlewood, before Cummins removed Shai Hope to leave West Indies on 5-169. The hosts faltered again when King's defiance was ended four balls later and he was caught by wicketkeeper Alex Carey off Lyon's delivery. Some crucial lower-order runs from Shamar Joseph and Alzarri Joseph frustrated the Aussies though and got the Windies closer to Australia's first innings total than the visitors would have liked.
