of the game.
Australia and the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/West-Indies-c760 are currently up against each other in the first Test of a three-match series at Bridgetown. The visitors started the series as favourites but the home team has shown tremendous fight in the first three days of the Test.
The Caribbean batsmen have done well in the first match and the bowlers have also caused the Kangaroos trouble.

The Aussie media has criticised and blamed Watson for the incident but Clarke believes that such things are part of the game and every player is bound to make those mistakes.
Clarke said, "You never mean to run anybody out. It was a big wicket, losing Ricky. It's no-one's fault, it's part of the game. What can you do? You've got to try, in any form of the game, not to have too many run-outs because it's hard enough for all the
batters especially when you're chasing a total like that.”
While commenting on the result of the match, Clarke admitted that his team is behind at the moment but the Kangaroos can still make a comeback and win the first Test.
"I think we can [still win]. I think we're going to have to bowl better than what we did in the first innings and we're going to have to try to make as many runs as we can in this first innings to see how close we are to them," he added.
