Starc record eclipses Boland hat-trick on 'bonkers' day

Mitchell Starc has written his way into the record books on a "bonkers" day of Test cricket that included a Scott Boland hat-trick and Australia bowling West Indies out for 27.

On a historic afternoon in Jamaica, Australia's quicks ran riot to wrap up a 176-run win and claim a 3-0 series sweep in the fight for the Frank Worrell Trophy.

Chasing 204 for victory, West Indies lasted just 87 balls and only marginally eclipsed the lowest ever Test total of 26 by New Zealand in 1955.
