West Indies debutant fast bowler Shamar Joseph etched his name in history by becoming only the second bowler from his side to take a wicket on his first ball in Test cricket. Before Joseph, Tyrell Johnson had taken a wicket on the first ball of his Test career back in 1939 at the Oval in England for West Indies. Joseph is 23rd bowler overall in the Test cricket history to achieve the feat. He sent back Australia’s new opener Steve Smith on the opening day of the first Test in Adelaide.
