West Indies 449/9d v Australia 366/9 (132.0 ov) - Australia trail by 83 runs with 1 wicket remaining in the 1st innings
On the fourth day of the first Test between hosts West Indies and tourists Australia, the Aussies after hammering 366 runs for the loss of nine wickets now trail by 83 runs at lunch on Tuesday April 10.
Fans had gathered at Kensington Oval, Bridgetown, Barbados to witness a bitter competition between the two rivals in anticipation of seeing their team humble the Aussies in the five-day contest.
However, Australia who got bulldozed for 449 runs by the hosts, took the challenge head on and looked in no mood to let the West Indies gain an upper hand in the match as they forged a resilient batting onslaught.
Having posted 248 runs for the loss of five wickets on day-three, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/MEK-Hussey-c1942 and MS Wade came out, aiming to bat for as long as possible in a bid to end the match in a draw, but with the play of nearly two days still remaining, West Indies were citing a victory.
However, Hussey, who had amassed 47 runs a day earlier, failed to prosper as he lost his wicket after adding only a run to his overnight tally.
The Windies tightened the screws around Australia early on as they knew it was imperative for them to wrap up the Australian innings before the end of the first session in order to have enough time to bat and post a defendable total on the board.
The demise of Hussey, brought http://www.senore.com/Cricket/PM-Siddle-c2197 in the middle, but failed to impress anyone as he lost his wicket without scoring.
Wade was the next batsman to lose his wicket as he perished after scoring a knock of 28 runs. At the time of his wicket, Australia had posted 285 runs on the board.
With Wade back in the pavilion, 32-year-old http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Nathan-Michael-Lyon-c78822 (16).
West Indies would now be aiming to finish off the Australian innings right after lunch to get enough time to bat in their second innings.
