In the ongoing 2nd Test between Australia and West Indies at the Brisbane Cricket Ground, an exciting moment unfolded in the 2nd over as Alzarri Joseph dismissed Marnus Labuschagne. The right-arm bowler delivered a ball on a hard length around off, inducing a slight nip away.
Labuschagne, staying back in his crease, attempted a shot without proper footwork, resulting in the ball flying off the outside edge towards the slip cordon. Kevin Sinclair, making his debut, showcased exceptional skill by diving to his right and securing a spectacular catch.
A fourth-slip SCREAMER!

Labuschagne’s departure at 11/2 put Australia in a challenging situation early in the match.
On the match front, the Windies have taken control with a commanding lead as Australia trails by 287 runs. During the second session, the formidable bowling duo of Alzarri Joseph and Kemar Roach wreaked havoc on the Australian side. Kemar Roach claimed the first breakthrough, dismissing Steven Smith, while Alzarri Joseph sent Marnus Labuschagne packing.
The Aussies faced additional setbacks as Roach dismissed Cameron Green and Travis Head in the last two deliveries before the tea break, putting them on the back foot at the Gabba. The West Indies will aim to secure more wickets in the upcoming session.
