Windies demolished by starc who took 5 wkts in 15 balls on another
crappy pitch, target to beat oz was 204 i think, also starc now joins
the 400 club. wndies batters are quackers: 7 ducks new record i believe.
This despite oz dropping a host of catches, carey and konstas the main culprits, overwise they would have broken the NZ record.

And it was a day-night game, and those usually seem to produce
profigious swing and seam movement once the sun goes down.

Even ahead of England at Edgbaston!

15 clean bowled in this test.

Probably a record.

Probably a record.

They weren't all clean bowled, e.g. Anderson in the first innings was
bowled off an inside edge.

The record for the number bowled in a Test is 23 (Aus v Eng, 2nd Test at Sydney, 1886/87).

Coincidentally, 15 were bowled at Lord's, but there haven't been that
many in any other Test since 1964/65.
