On 28th January, West Indies made a historic win over Australia by beating them in their home ground at Brisbane by 8 runs in a thrilling test match.
West Indies won in Australia after 27 years, and that too with their most inexperienced test team against the mighty Australian test team. Shamar Joseph took about 7 wickets in the second innings and it was just an unbelievable sight to see Australia lose like that. This is the beauty of cricket, on a given day, anything can happen and with this win the glory of West Indies cricket and test cricket has gone high.

Winning after 27 years... that's really historic. I totally agree that cricket or for that matter any sports is unpredictable. It's not the best team that always wins. The team with better mindset and a bit of luck on their side win. We have seen that in the recent World Cup. India was the better team but Aussies had a better mindset on the final day.

Plus India lost the test match to a lower ranked England on a track that is traditionally said to be suitable to the Indian team.

@avi256 Yes. Any point can be a turning point and turn the game in a totally opposite direction.

Yes a remarkable victory !
Aussies seemed to have underestimated them when they declared at a score of 289, being still in deficit!
A great feat by Shamar Joseph.
Perhaps it shows that however down a team goes, it always has the chance for resurgence in Cricket.
