Re: Windies beat the Aussies at the Gabba
Amazing finish and what an effort from Joseph. Awesome hearing the excitement from Lara in commentary too. Where does Shamar Joseph's performance rank in the echelon of touring bowlers' performances in Australia? There have been some great efforts over the years, but this one is right up there. Ric...
