Australian International test cricket team is good side and West Indian International test cricket team is not quality team in test cricket. West Indian International cricketers are very proudy people and that's why ,they are in trouble. Australian International test cricket team is talented and hard working team. They will win this match easily and they will also win the whole series. Travis head played good inning and made century for his country. Hazelwood and Pat Cummins took 4,4 wickets and stoped the West Indian batters at lowest score.

There are definitely differences between the two teams Australia and West Indies, but the T20 matches between Australia and West Indies will definitely be much more interesting. In the previous post I said that the result of this match will be decided on the third day and the result of this match is decided on the third day but if Australia could have scored a few more runs in their first innings they could have beaten the West Indies by an innings. West Indies managed to score only 26 runs more than Australia in 2 innings and these 26 runs were the target for Australia and Australia collected these runs without a wicket. Fifty percent of these Test matches are decided before extra time.
Congratulations to the Australian team for winning this match very comfortably.

West Indies set a small target of just 26 runs. In the first innings itself we saw poor batting from the West Indies batsmen. Other than Kirk McKenzie, no other batsman could stay at the crease longer. McKenzie scored 50 runs. In the first innings, West Indies' innings stopped at just 188 runs. In the second innings too, as usual, we saw bad batting by the West Indies batsmen. The team collected only 120 runs.

Hazlewood bowled brilliantly in this match. He was able to take 4 wickets in the first innings and 5 wickets in the second innings. Hazlewood destroyed the West Indies top order. The match was likely to be a tight one, despite the West Indies being able to set a target of more than 150.

West Indies have played test matches, that's why their runs in two innings are so low, if they were given the condition that they have to hit one boundary after another without staying on the wicket, maybe they could have scored more runs. Most of the players that West Indies have have a very poor Test playing record as they don't want to play Tests much but prefer only T20 games the most. West Indies team is capable of scoring big in t20 but I don't know why they mess up their performance in test matches. Before the start of the Test series, most people thought that West Indies would not care against Australia and lose the Test series by a big margin. As the West Indies tour Australia to play a complete series, there is one more Test match left between the two teams.

You are right. The performance of West Indies players in Test format is very poor. Although they can play well in T20 format, we rarely see good performances from West Indies players in Test format. West Indies players have very little patience. No West Indies player can survive at the crease for long. And this is why we don't see West Indies players performing well in the Test format against the big teams.

West Indies players are not in good form now. This renowned team could not qualify for the last ODI World Cup. West Indies' poor performance started after several players in the squad retired simultaneously. I would say West Indies players need to be more patient and hard working. If not, we will not see good performance from this team in the future.
