Aus vs wi 2nd test: In the second Test match being played between Australia and West Indies, the Caribbean bowlers have completely brought the Kangaroo team to the backfoot. The Australian team was all out for just 286 runs on the first day of this Test being played in St. George, Granada. Due to rain, only 66.5 overs a day were thrown, but even in this short time, West Indies bowlers performed amazing.
From the beginning, Australia on the backfoot
After winning the toss, the situation was bad from the beginning of the Australian team to bat first. Opener Sam Constas scored 25 runs, while the second opener Usman Khwaja returned to the pavilion after scoring 16 runs. Cameron Green, who came to bat at the third number, scored 26 runs and after that the Travis Head also scored 29 runs, but all of them could not convert a good start into a big score and returned to the pavilion.
The biggest shock came when senior batsman Steve Smith, who was returning from the injury, was dismissed by just 3 runs and he proved to be a flop once again.
Carrie and webster shown courage
When the team’s score was 5 wickets for 110 runs, the match was seen slipping from Australia’s hand. In such a situation, BU webster scored 60 runs and Alex Carrie scored 63 runs and shared 112 runs for the sixth wicket and brought the team to a respectable score.
After the partnership of these two, Pat Cummins added 17 runs for the team, Nathan Lion scored 11 and Josh Hazlewood scored 10 runs. Mitchell Starc could also score only 6 runs and after Steve Smith he was the second batsman who did not reach double points.
West Indies bowlers wreak havoc
In this match, once again the West Indies bowlers presented their sharp bowling view. Aljari Joseph put the deadliest spell. He took 4 wickets for 61 runs in 15.5 overs. Jayden Seals got 2 wickets in their account. Shamar Joseph, Anderson Philip and Justani Greaves broke Australia’s batting back with one wicket each. In the first Test, the way Shamar Joseph and Jayden Seals took wickets, this time the responsibility of the wicket was taken by Aljari Joseph and brought the team to another strong position.
Usman Khwaja created history
Even though Usman Khwaja could score only 16 runs in this match, but during this time he has completed 6000 runs in Test cricket. He has become the 16th player of Australia to achieve this feat. 38 -year -old Khwaja has achieved this figure in 149 innings of 83 Test matches. His name is also recorded in 16 Test centuries. This achievement makes them stand in the alit list of Australian batsmen.
Rain became obstructed
The first day’s game was affected by the rain, and only 66.5 overs were played, but in the meantime the match has reached a thrilling turn. Now everyone’s eyes will be on the Australian bowlers. Will they return to the match by covering the West Indies cheaply? Or will the Caribbean batsmen put more pressure on Australia?
