Dominica: On Wednesday, at the end of the third day of play in the ongoing final Test between West Indies and Australia, the tourists have sealed a lead of 310 runs with four wickets in hand against the hosts, at Windsor Park, Roseau, after piling 200 runs in their second innings.
For Australia, opener Ed Cowan and middle-order batsman, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/RT-Ponting-c2377 were the stars of the show as the two smashed stupendously crafting half centuries to help their side gain an upper hand on the opponents before the end of the day.
Earlier, the day started with http://www.senore.com/Cricket/R-Rampaul-c2233 resuming West Indies’ first innings from a tally of 165 runs with eight wickets down.
The role of the two batsmen was extremely important for their team as their early demise would have placed http://www.senore.com/Cricket/West-Indies-c760 in a compromising situation.
With all their batsmen back in the pavilion, Chanderpaul had the credentials to leave the Australians flabbergasted by the end of the innings.
Even after the demise of Rampaul on 31 runs, Chanderpaul stood his own and finally fell after blasting an innings of 68 runs, becoming the highest scorer from his side in the first innings.
Consequently, the Windies failed to overcome Australia’s first innings total of 328 runs, faltering on 218 runs.
With the hosts back in the pavilion, it was time for http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Andrew-Graham-Downton-c44379 Cowan.
However, Warner was disappointing as he lost his wicket cheaply after scoring only 11 runs, leaving Australia with 17 runs on the board.
With 25 runs on the scorecard, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/SR-Watson-c2558 became the second wicket to fall, as he found his way back to the pavilion after scoring a short innings of five runs.
It was then a Cowan and Ricky Ponting show from here on as the duo shredded the West Indian bowling attack into bits and pieces.
Both batsmen lost their wickets after scoring 55 and 57 runs, and later http://www.senore.com/Cricket/RJ-Harris-c2330 standing unbeaten on 17 and four runs as the day ended.
