Australia will look to seal the three-match series when it faces West Indies in the second Test at the National Cricket Stadium in Grenada from Thursday.
The Aussies staged a remarkable comeback in the series opener to register a commanding 159-run win in Barbados. After being shot out for 180 in the first innings, they restricted West Indies to 190 before piling 310 in the second essay to set up an improbably chase for the host’s unsteady batting lineup.
The Roston Chase-led side expectedly collapsed, losing 10 wickets inside 34 overs for just 141 runs. Travis Head was the star with the bat, scoring twin half-centuries in tricky conditions for batting, while seamers Josh Hazlewood wrecked the opposition with a seven-wicket match haul, which included a fifer in the second innings.
For the second Test, Australia will be bolstered by the return of Steve Smith to the Playing XI. Smith, who missed the series opener due to a finger injury sustained during the World Test Championship final last month, will replaces Josh Inglis in the lineup.
