AUS vs WI, 2nd Test: Windies pacers ruin Australia’s day in gripping pink-ball Test

The Hindu  

The West Indies tail batted superbly on Friday and followed up in commanding fashion with the ball to stun Australia, who trails in the second Test by 35 runs after a top-order collapse necessitated a counter-attack at the Gabba in Brisbane. Leading 1-0 in the two-game series, the home side recovered from 24-4 to boldly declare 22 runs behind at 289-9 in the night session, after fast bowlers Kemar Roach and Alzarri Joseph inflicted maximum damage. READ | Australia stifle Windies on opening day despite Hodge, Da Silva fightback “I feel really, really good to get the fifty on my debut,” Sinclair said. “It’s about sticking with the basics for us.” New opener Steve Smith, thrust into the role after David Warner’s retirement, fell to Roach for six in the first over of Australia’s innings when a seaming delivery was adjudged lbw on review. Cricket Australia in 2021 stopped referencing “Australia Day” for matches played on Jan. 26 -- the 1788 date when the first fleet of British settlers arrived in Sydney -- after a recommendation from its Indigenous advisory committee.
