Justin Greaves etched his name into Test cricket history with a stunning spell against Pakistan, becoming the first bowler in recorded Test history to deliver five consecutive wicket-maidens during the opening Test at Tarouba, Trinidad. The West Indies all-rounder produced a devastating blast on Day 3 at the Brian Lara Cricket Academy, turning the game on its head after Pakistan looked well-placed in their first innings. Greaves finished with career-best figures of 5/27 from 11 overs, with all five wickets coming in five consecutive maiden overs without conceding a single run. This is also the 31-year-old maiden’s five-wicket haul in Test cricket. Pakistan continued the day trailing West Indies’ first innings total of 311 and looked to mount a strong reply through Shan Masood and Salman Agha. The pair safely negotiated the opening time before Shamar Joseph broke the stand by bowling Agha. What followed was one of the most remarkable spells in recent Test history. Greaves dismissed centurion Shan Masood for 109 when the Pakistan batter cut the ball back to his stumps. He then removed Aamer Jamal with a delivery that bounced back and forth before trapping Ali Usman leg-before for a duck in the next over. Pakistan’s hopes rested on Mohammad Rizwan, but Greaves forced the wicketkeeper-batter to flash a wide delivery, resulting in a back edge. In the first over after lunch, he completed his five-wicket haul when Mohammad Abbas jabbed outside off stump and was caught behind. The stunning burst triggered a dramatic collapse, in which Pakistan lost five wickets for just 15 runs before finally being bowled out for 282, giving the West Indies a first innings lead of 29 overs. Greaves’ feat surpassed the previous record of four consecutive wicket-maidens, which was achieved by the former England fast bowler Stuart Broad against South Africa in Johannesburg in January 2016. The spell not only marked Greaves’ maiden Test five-for but also ensured that his name entered the record books with a feat never before seen in available Test records.
