Australia vs. West Indies Second Test Highlights, Brisbane

The West Indian win by 8 runs is the second-narrowest by runs between the two countries. The only lower victory was by just one run at Adelaide in 1992-93.
The West Indies first innings saw their highest number of runs (247) added after the loss of their first five wickets for 64 (based on a maximum of 70 runs at the time of the fifth wicket) for West Indies in Australia. Their previous best recovery was 174 runs at Perth in 2000-01 after they lost their first five wickets for 22.
The said West Indian start (at the fall of the fifth wicket) is their worst in Australia in a match in which they were victorious.
Mitchell Starc became the fifth Australian bowler to reach 350 wickets. He is now just two behind Dennis Lillee.
Steve Smith became the first Australian opener to carry his bat through a completed innings against West Indies. Two West Indian players, Chris Gayle and Conrad Hunte, both achieved the feat. Smith is the fourth player from all countries to achieve the feat against West Indies.
Head king pair (and last three balls at Brisbane all ducks)
The last occasion where both Australia and West Indies have lost their first five wickets in the first two innings of a Test for under 100 runs each was at Melbourne in 1981-82.
Like the West Indian first innings, Australia's last five wickets added a record 235 runs after losing their fifth wicket at 54. This is based on losing their fifth wicket for fewer than 60 runs and playing against West Indies. Their previous best was also at Brisbane, in 1960-61, when they recovered from 57 for 5 to 232 all out which resulted in Test cricket's first tie.
Shamar Joseph's 7 for 64 is the fourth-best analysis for West Indies against Australia. The best remains Curtly Ambrose's 7 for 25 at Perth in 1992-93.
Pat Cummins's 64* is his highest Test score surpassing his 63 against India at Melbourne in 2018-19.
Travis Head became the second Australian player after Adam Gilchrist (at Kolkata in 2000-01) to suffer a king pair.
The Test is only the twelfth to be decided by fewer than ten runs.
