Usman Khawaja was handed an ICC accolade, while Cameron Green had to stand alone on day one of the second Test between Australia and West Indies at the Gabba.

Here's the five quick hits from day one of the Gabba Test.

1. Green in isolation

Poor Cameron Green.

As the most recent of Australia's players to contract COVID, the recently recalled all-rounder was forced to self isolate in the middle of the Gabba in front of several thousand observers.

As well as being banished to what shall forever be known as the Renshaw room to change — after the Queenslander had to self-isolate and change by himself in the third Test against South Africa at the SCG last year — Green had to stand all on his lonesome at the anthems.

The only acknowledgement of Green was from Mitch Starc who, standing on the end of the entwined Australian line, miming to throw his arm over Green's shoulder from a distance.

Even when the first wicket fell, Green was shooed away from the celebratory huddle by Josh Hazlewood. It could have been worse though — he was still able to play.

2. Starc's 350th Test wicket

As Australia tore through the West Indies top order, it was surely only to be a matter of time before Australia's pink ball specialist achieved a major personal milestone.

Coming into this Test, Starc had played 11 pink-ball day-night Tests, taking 61 poles at an average of 18.16.

Surely his success in Brisbane, (nine wickets in two pink ball Tests) was a given? 

And so it proved, with Starc taking the second and fourth wicket of the morning, the latter being his 350th in Test cricket.

The 33-year-old is just the fifth man to take 350 wickets for Australia in Test cricket and is closing in fast on Dennis Lillee's tally of 355.

3. A wicketless session

It doesn't happen often, but Australia went through an entire session of bowling without taking a wicket for the first time this summer.

Pakistan came closest to doing so back in their first innings in Perth, surviving 20 overs before tea for 0-43 on day two.
