West Indies 251 for 8 dec and 137 for 3 (da Silva 55*, Hodge 44*, Haskett 2-39) lead Cricket Australia XI 174 (Ward 50, Hope 24, Roach 2-23, Shamar Joseph 2-28) by 214 runs
West Indies showed they are determined to put up a fight during their Australia tour with a spirited effort on day two of their warm-up match in Adelaide.
Having struggled with the bat first-up against a Cricket Australia XI, the tourists produced a dynamic bowling spell of 6 for 22 to knock their opponents over for 174 at Karen Rolton Oval.
Their batting woes were back on full display in Thursday’s afternoon session, with top-order talents Tagenarine Chanderpaul and Kirk McKenzie both falling in soft fashion in their second innings.
Things looked bleak for the tourists as the CA XI cruised to 94 for 1 before West Indies sliced through their batting card. The tourists had declared overnight to allow their bowlers a first crack in Australian conditions.
Chanderpaul, who made 17 in his side’s first innings, pushed a loose Liam Haskett delivery he didn’t need to play straight to gully to fall for his second-innings duck. McKenzie’s dismissal was just as avoidable, softly chipping Haskett straight to midwicket.
