A\ufeffustralia's first Test win over West Indies<\/a> could potentially come at a cost after Usman Khawaja<\/a> was floored by a Shamar Joseph<\/a> bouncer. <\/p>\n

With one run to win, Khawaja copped the debutant's delivery to the jaw and appeared to be spitting out blood. <\/p>\n

Following a concussion test, he left the field with Marnus Labuschagne hitting the winning run. <\/p>\n

"I reckon it might've split his chin … there's every chance that could do some serious damage to his jaw," Australian cricket legend Brett Lee said on Fox Cricket. <\/p>\n

"… that was a nasty bouncer."<\/p>\n

"Definitely would've shaken him up a bit," Isa Guha added.<\/p>\n

West Indies legend Brian Lara explained the short ball can come on differently for a bowler of Joseph's stature. <\/p>\n

"That's the problem when \ufeffyou play against the shorter fast bowlers, they get it to skid on, they get it into the wicket, it's not that bounce you get if it's a tall fast bowler," he said. <\/p>\n

Australia needed 26 runs to win in their second innings\ufeff and managed to chase it down without losing a wicket, with Steve Smith finishing on 11 not out. <\/p>\n

Day three started with the West Indies 6-73, trailing by 22 runs. <\/p>\n

Contributions from Alzarri Joseph (16), Kemar Roach (11 not out) and Joseph (15) helped the side set a total as Josh Hazlewood ripped through their lineup to claim 5-35. <\/p>\n

The fast bowler agreed he probably hasn't bowled better. \ufeff<\/p>\n

"I felt like I bowled just as well in the first half of the summer with not much result, the wickets have been really good," he said post-match. <\/p>\n

"I think playing with this attack I just feel like it's just relentless, pressure just builds the whole time and someone picks up the wickets."<\/p>\n

After scoring 119 in Australia's first innings<\/a>, Travis Head finished player of the match. \ufeff<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
