Australia's Six Sorrows

West Indies v Australia, 4th Test Match, St. John's (Antigua), May 2003
Result: West Indies won by three wickets

The West Indies made the highest-ever fourth innings total to beat Australia by three wickets in the fourth and final Test and avoid an unprecedented home whitewash.

West Indies, set 418 to win and 0-3 down in the series, reached the historic target with an unbeaten eighth-wicket partnership of 46 from lower order batsmen Omari Banks and Vasbert Drakes.

A supreme team effort or an innings of sheer brilliance can alone help defeat this Australian team.
