Shamar Joseph is not just a name in West Indies anymore but an emotion.

Playing just his 2nd Test, the 24-year-old pulled off one of the most sensational wins in Windies' history. His spell of 7 wickets for 68 runs in 11.5 overs stunned the Australia as the visitors won the 2nd Test by just 8 runs to draw the 2-match series 1-1.

What made the feat even more special was the fact that Joseph bowled with a broken toe but still managed to produce one of the best spells at the Gabba.

It was the first time in 27 years that West Indies managed to beat the Aussies in a Test match Down Under. Not just that, the Windies became the first team to beat Australia in a Pink ball Test. Thus ending Australia's 11-match unbeaten streak in Day-Night Test matches.

Before the historic win at Gabba, the Men from the Caribbean last defeated Australia in the 1997 season.

For Australia, Steve Smith carried tha bat through and remained unbeaten on 91. But no support from the other end meant that the hosts were bowled out for 207.
