Let’s take a closer look at what happened in Grenada and revisit the list of players who shared this painful fate in their milestone match.

What happened to Brathwaite against Australia in his 100th Test?

Brathwaite walked in with expectations high, especially after Australia had posted a challenging 286. But the celebration was cut short just eight balls later.

Facing Josh Hazlewood early on Day 1, the West Indies skipper tried to drive a fuller ball outside off. The ball, however, came off the inside half of his bat and went straight back to the bowler. Hazlewood held on, and Brathwaite’s innings was over for 0.

The scoreboard read 7/1 in just the second over, and Brathwaite’s 100th Test was off to a nightmarish start.
