West Indies bowler Jayden Seales celebrated a "special" day after he took five wickets against Australia.

Seales led the Windies' bowling attack brilliantly in Bridgetown on Wednesday, as they skittled the tourists out for 180.

The medium-pacer took 5-60, dismissing Josh Inglis, Alex Carey, captain Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood.

Shamar Joseph chipped in with 4-46, with Justin Greaves picking up the other wicket in a dominant display with the ball.

"This one was pretty special for me," said Seales.

"[I] have played against Australia once, and was injured. To play against them and get five on the first day was pretty special.

"With the new ball, it was to bowl fuller. We knew the batters would come hard if we gave them width, and the plan was to bowl full and as much at the stumps as possible.

"A little slower than what the Australians would have expected, and that made them play a lot more."

Seales also had praise for fellow bowler Shamar, who has now taken 17 Test wickets in five innings against Australia.

"He was special today, and he has been special throughout his career," Seales said.

"He has a love for Australia. He got through the top order and made it easy for us in the middle and at the end."

Bowled with energy and zest!

West Indies, though, struggled to get going when they went into bat, as they stuttered to stumps on 57-4.

Openers Kraigg Brathwaite and John Campbell fell early to Mitchell Starc (2-35), before Cummins sent Keacy Carty packing and Hazlewood bowled Jomel Warrican for a duck.

Brandon King will return to the crease on 23, partnered by skipper Roston Chase on one.

Asked what the plan was for the Windies on day two, Seales said: "Just be yourself, back your skills, play on the merit. Just wait for the bad balls and put bat to ball when the time comes."
