BRIDGETOWN, Barbados – Purposeful bowling from West Indies upstaged Australia’s much feared batsmen, keeping them on a leash in the first Digicel Test on Monday.
Captain Darren Sammy set the tone with two wickets for 33 runs from 15 overs, as Australia, replying to the Windies’ first innings total of 449 for nine declared, reached 248 for five – two runs away from making the hosts bat again – when bad light stopped play 10 overs early on the third day at Kensington Oval.
