- Australia have lost only one of their last 29 men’s Tests against West Indies (W24 D4) – a three-wicket defeat in May 2003; Australia are undefeated in their 19 meetings in the format since then (W15 D4).
- Australia have lost only one of their last eight men’s Test series (W5 D2), a 2-1 defeat against India in March 2023; they have won their last four series in the format at home – the last time they won more such series in succession was a span of five from January 2013 to January 2016.
- West Indies have won only one of their last eight men’s Tests (D2 L5) – an innings and four-run victory against Zimbabwe (February 2023); they are winless in their four matches in the format since then (D1 L3).
- Australia have lost only one of their last 12 men’s Tests at Adelaide Oval (W10 D1) – a 31-run loss against India (December 2018); they have won each of their four matches at the venue in the format since then.
- West Indies have a batting false shot rate of 23.5% facing pace bowling in men’s Tests since the beginning of 2023, the best of any team in that time; Australia (24.2%) are ranked third in this category (Bangladesh – 23.8%).
- Australia have made nine stumpings when fielding in men’s Tests since the beginning of 2023, two more than any other team in that time and more than four times as many as West Indies (2).
- Marnus Labuschagne (3,996) is four away from scoring 4,000 runs for Australia in men’s Tests; he’s scored 60+ in three of his last four Test innings (63, 4, 60, 62*) and has a Test batting average of 167.3 against the West Indies – the second best of any player for Australia in the history of the men’s format (Adam Voges – 542).
- Steven Smith (32) is one away from recording the outright second most hundreds of any player for Australia in men’s Tests (also Steve Waugh – 32); however, Smith has not scored a century across his last 13 Test innings – the last time he logged a longer run in the format without making a hundred was a 16-innings span from January 2021 to June 2022.
- Mitchell Starc (345) is five away from becoming the fifth player to take 350 wickets for Australia in men’s Tests; Starc’s Test bowling average at Adelaide Oval (17.1) is his best at any venue (min. 70 overs bowled).
