Why does that matter?
Being captain, he may have been accused of being selfish if he tried to bat on when the team already had enough runs anyway.

Extraordinary end to the third and final test between West Indies and Australia in Jamaica. The home side was bowled out for 27, the second lowest innings score in test cricket and the teamâs lowest ever test score (previous low was 47) chasing the target of 204. Brilliant bowling by Mitchell Starc in his 100th test, grabbing 6 for 9 including three wickets in the first over and Starcâs 400th test wicket. He also achieved the fastest five-wicket haul in test cricket in just 15 balls. Scott Boland took a hat trick finishing on 3/2 from two overs. There were seven ducks in the Windiesâ innings.
The carnage came after Australia were dismissed for 121 in the second innings. In the first innings, Australia made 225 before bowling out the Windies for 143.
Australia won by 176 runs and secured a 3-0 series clean sweep. Starc was named player of the match and series (15 wickets).
