Australia 328/259 v West Indies 218 - 97/3 in 39.0 overs – West Indies need 370 runs to win the match
Dominica, April 26: On the penultimate day of the final Test between hosts http://www.senore.com/Cricket/West-Indies-c760 and tourists Australia, the Aussies are in a commanding position after giving the hosts a staggering total of 370 runs to win the match being played at Windsor Park, Roseau.
Earlier, the day started with Australia resuming their second innings from 200 runs for the loss of six wickets with http://www.senore.com/Cricket/RJ-Harris-c2330 on four.
Having halted West Indies on 218 runs in their first innings, Australia were h**l-bent on piling a massive lead in their second innings after posting 328 runs in their previous innings.
Hussey knew what was needed of him as it was imperative for him to clobber maximum runs before the end of the innings to give the hosts a run for their money in the series finale.
Meanwhile, for West Indies, it was of utmost importance for them to bowl-out Australia before allowing them to amass an unbeatable total.
While, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Harris-c61739’ job was to hold his end and give Hussey maximum deliveries to play at, this strategy proved fatal as Hussey became the first casualty of the day after Australia had added only 20 more runs in their overnight tally.
With Hussey back in the pavilion after scoring a 32-run knock, it was time for West Indies to make a comeback in the match and wrap-up Australia’s innings.
However, a last ditch effort by http://www.senore.com/Cricket/MA-Starc-c1871, delayed the eventual end to the Aussies innings for a little while, as the batsman hammered 21 runs to help his side post 259 runs at the end of their innings.
From West Indies, right-arm spinner http://www.senore.com/Cricket/N-Deonarine-c2051 tagged along by grabbing three wickets a piece.
Seeking salvation in the series, West Indies lost three wickets by tea as they posted 97 runs with http://www.senore.com/Cricket/S-Chanderpaul-c2390 on 29, in pursuit of the required target to win the game.
