The first Test match between Australia and West Indies has started. In the meantime, West Indies batted in the first innings of this Test match, they were all out for only 188, then when Australia batted in their first innings, they were able to score 283 runs.Now West Indies are batting in their second innings and they have already lost six wickets for 76 runs yet they still trail Australia by 22 runs.

When the West Indies were playing a warm-up match against the (CAXI,) their performance looked like they might do well in the Test match against Australia.But coming to the main test match they are showing their opposite performance now it seems that they will lose this test match to Australia.
In the first test match of Australia vs West Indies, Australia's bowlers bowled very well, bowling out West Indies for just 188 runs. Australia team is in a great rhythm after winning the three test series against Pakistan. Both batting and bowling are very strong so it is expected that they will win the test series against West Indies very easily. The Australian team gave the West Indies a lead of 95 runs when they went down to bat with a lead of 188 runs given by the West Indies. The West Indies batsmen are under a lot of pressure after losing six wickets after 73 runs to bat for the lead of 95 runs given by Australia. Let's see how many runs the West Indies can give to Australia in the end.
Australia reached 283 runs based on Head's 119 runs. West Indies batted very badly in the last session. West Indies lost 6 wickets for 73 runs to handle the lead of 95 runs given by Australia, at the end of the day West Indies trailed by 22 runs. I don't think West Indies will have any chance to come back in the second innings on the third day. Josh hazelwood also bowled well in the first innings and today too he bowled very well in the second innings and took 4 wickets. As Australia are completely in control of the match, the performance West Indies has shown I think the result of the match will be tomorrow in the first session.
West Indies were way behind Australia in the first innings and they have already lost 6 wickets in the second innings which is very bad news for them. Because they don't seem to be able to cross 200 runs in the second innings where they lost 6 wickets for just 73 runs. So this match is very easy for Australia to win.  Because even though the West Indies have completed more than half of the game in the second innings, Australia still lead them by 22 runs by the first innings runs. So West Indies can never win match with Australia in any way
Australia vs West Indies 1st Test match Australia's Baller Ra has bowled brilliantly. West Indies batsmen should have batted a bit more responsibly as it is a test match game so they should have batted responsibly to have wickets. Since the Test match game was so rushed to bat, the West Indies batsmen were all out for just 188 runs. The way Australia is performing, it seems that the game is becoming one-sided. If West Indies had batted and bowled a little more responsibly, then the games against Australia would have been competitive. The batsmen of West Indies are not able to bat so well in the second innings, losing six wickets after only 60 runs. The batsmen of West Indies are under a lot of pressure. It seems that the Australian team is going to beat the West Indies by a huge margin in the first Test match.
West Indies' quality of play is looking very poor.  By playing like this, they have no chance of winning the match with Australia.  I think they can score 188 runs in the first but they won't be able to cross 150 runs in 2nd day play before losing all wickets.  And Australia would end the 2nd day's play in just a few minutes and win the match quite easily. Test matches are very long so there is not much joy in watching them and there is no joy in such matches
