Earlier, after ending the second day on 49 for the loss of three wickets, West Indies resumed their innings with http://www.senore.com/Cricket/S-Chanderpaul-c2390 in order to craft a befitting response to the first innings total of 311 runs posted by the Aussies.
Both batsmen started the day confidently, aiming to stay on the wicket for as long as possible as they saw off Australia’s main bowlers in order to prevail later in the day.
With the main strike bowlers failing to deliver, skipper http://www.senore.com/Cricket/West-Indies-c760 were standing on a total of 100 runs.
The demise of Bravo, brought http://www.senore.com/Cricket/N-Deonarine-c2051, who handsomely crafted another staggering partnership with Chanderpaul against the Aussies.
The batsmen toyed with the bowlers and kept the scoreboard ticking as they knew that Australia had enough fire in their bowling arsenal to bounce back in the match at anytime.
Nonetheless, the two West Indies batsmen batted beautifully as they countered the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746 onslaught in order to prevail on the third day.
Before lunch Australia looked tired and desperate for another breakthrough as they knew that the two West Indies batsmen were capable of steering the match in their favour and our of Australia’s grasp.
After lunch Australia would be hoping to make early inroads in order to gain an upper hand in the match and restrict the West Indies on the small total to at least end the match in a draw.
A draw here would mean one up for Australia as they have already won the first Test and would love to go into the third Test with the odds in their favour.
