West Indies 449/9d & 148 v Australia 406/9d – Australia require 192 runs to win
April 11: West Indies got bowled out in their second innings after posting 148 runs on the final day of the first Test against tourists Australia, at Kensington Oval, Bridgetown, Barbados.
After hammering a staggering tally of 449 runs in their first innings, the hosts gained an upper hand against the visiting side my limiting Australia on a first innings tally of 406 runs.
The Windies now had an opportunity to amass a tough total by the end of their second innings in order to secure a win in the opening Test of the three-match series.
After ending the fourth day of play on 71 runs for the loss of five wickets, West Indies resumed their final innings with http://www.senore.com/Cricket/CS-Baugh-c1293 on two.
However, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746 made early inroads by dismissing Deonarine on 21 runs, at a time when West Indies were standing on a tally of 75 runs.
Baugh was then joined by skipper http://www.senore.com/Cricket/DJG-Sammy-c1382 as the home side desperately tried to halt the Australian bowling onslaught.
Finally with 106 runs on the board, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/SR-Watson-c2558.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/KAJ-Roach-c1758 was the next man to walk in the middle, but before he could bolster a dangerous partnership with Baugh, the latter was dismissed after scoring 23 runs.
It was now Roach’s responsibility to bat for as many runs as possible. And the batsman responded well by moulding an innings of 25 runs.
Nonetheless, West Indies failed to post an unreachable total on the board, and faltered two hours before tea, giving Australia a big portion of the day to bat, which could cost them the match if Australia somehow manages to chase the total.
Now, the Windies will need to produce some outstanding bowling moments in order to rattle the Australians in a bid to prevent them from reaching 192 runs to win by the end of the day.
