The West Indies are 91 for 6 at stumps in reply to Australia's 551 for 3 and the scenario is quite predictable of yet another Caribbean humiliation. West Indian openers, Rajendra Chandrika and Kraig Brathwaite's steady start looked promising, but as soon as Brathwaite was dismissed by Nathan Lyon, an ugly collapse took place.
Chandrika offered no shot against a Pattinson in-
ducker, Marlon Samuels' stiff legs did him no
favour as a Pattinson reverse-in-swing trapped him lbw, Jermaine Blackwood foolishly ended up the ghost by coming down the track to dominate Lyon and was caught and bowled, Peter Siddle delivered one into the pads of Denesh Ramdin and Ramdin executed a mistimed flick in the air and was caught by Burns while, Jason Holder registered first golden duck in his Test career as Siddle disturbed his
offstump.
The manner of dismissals were quite annoying for the fans present at the stadium and those who watched
in television and sadly, West Indies continue to gift world cricket such dismal displays again and again.
Thank You
