West Indies v Australia - 3rd Test - Lunch - Live Score and Update
Australia - 69/1 – Australia won the toss and elected to bat
On the first day of the third and final Test between hosts West Indies and Australia, the Australians after winning the toss have managed to post 69 runs on the board for the loss of just one wicket, at Windsor Park, Roseau, Dominica.
With the stakes higher than ever before, both teams cannot afford to take the game lightly since this is going to be a decider and with http://www.senore.com/Cricket/West-Indies-c760 have everything to lose if they fail to beat the Aussies here.
For Australia, the series would end on a disappointing note as their win in the first match will mean little if the series ends in a draw.
After winning the toss, Australia skipper http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Harris-c61739 and Starc are in for Pattinson and Beer.”
Australia suffered the early blow of losing the wicket of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Andrew-Graham-Downton-c44379 Cowan, who failed to put up a good show, perishing after scoring just a run.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/SR-Watson-c2558 then took charge as they stood defiant against the West Indies bowling onslaught.
Both batsmen needed to mould their innings, without taking too many risks as they needed to put their side in a commanding position by the end of the day.
Nonetheless, it was West Indies fielders, who also contributed in helping the two Australians forge a defiant stand as they were dropped by the fielders, preventing the demise of the partnership before lunch.
However, Australia scored comparatively slow as they could not post a big total before the call for lunch was made, which will probably encourage the Aussies to launch a batting onslaught when they come out to resume their innings after lunch.
