Son of a gun Tagenarine Chanderpaul has endured one of the most painful Test debuts in recent memory after being battered from pillar to post by Pat Cummins and Josh Hazlewood.
Chanderpaul, featuring a similar unorthodox batting stance as his famous father Shivnarine, was left in severe pain after being struck in the testicles by a 134km/h delivery from Hazlewood.
The 26-year-old, who was on eight at the time, hunched over for a few seconds before lying on the ground as the pain set in.
Medical staff picked up Chanderpaul's legs and shook them in a bid to help him recover.
The Australians couldn't help but have a laugh at the situation, with Usman Khawaja mimicking the treatment by going across to David Warner to shake his hips.
Chanderpaul needed more than three minutes to recover before he was able to continue.
He also copped a series of other whacks to the body from Hazlewood and Pat Cummins, but he recovered to finish unbeaten on 47, with West Indies to resume on day three at 0-74 in reply to Australia's 4-598 declared.
"I could understand what it's like. It's pain," West Indies captain Kraigg Brathwaite said of Chanderpaul's hit to the groin.
"I know he's a fighter so it isn't surprising (to see him continue).
"I think he has a bright future for the West Indies. He had a good last two seasons in first-class cricket which propelled him up there.
"He's going to be special. I look forward to batting with him for many years to come."
Brathwaite didn't escape the carnage either, with the veteran opener struck in the box by Cummins.
But that blow was nothing compared to the one Chanderpaul received.
Right from the very start Chanderpaul didn't look comfortable.
He edged Mitchell Starc first ball to get off the mark with a lucky boundary, and he was left searching for answers after several plays and misses.
Chanderpaul was lucky to survive on four when Australia opted to review an unsuccessful Starc lbw appeal.
The ball-tracking technology showed the delivery would have clipped the off stump - but it was too close to call and was deemed umpire's call.
Chanderpaul began to find his groove the longer the innings went on, and he showcased his talents by peeling off six fours and a six.
