Match State: Day 1 start scheduled for 10.05am local time (14.05 GMT)
Hello and welcome to the live coverage of the 1st Test between West
Indies and Australia being played at Bourda, Guyana
the series consists of four tests and seven One Day Internationals
Last time Australia toured the Caribbean (1999) the series was
drawn 2-2
Brian Lara scored a total of 546 runs (3 hundreds) from four
matches at an average of 91! and Glenn McGrath was the best bowler
taking 30 wickets at an average of 16.93
Australia undoubtedly the best team in the world and the current
World Champions are
s are
highly fancied to win this encounter
West Indies on the other hand are not in without a chance, newly
appointed captain Lara can make all the difference, and with a
little luck they may even steal a win here
I've got a job to do, I've got to go out there and lead the West
Indies team. Presently, I am in the best frame of mind possible to
do so, the guys are very happy to be here,
mentally I think we've got to deal with the Australian cricket
team. There is no psychological advantage to the Australians
because of what's happening,"
these were the words of the West Indian captain coming into this
match
Steve Waugh who makes a record 157th Test appearance today was very
modest "We've got a tough job in hand. We've got three experienced
players out but it gives an opportunity
to the newer players and the younger players. We have got more than
enough good players to do the job." were his words.
Australia will be without Shane Warne, who is serving a 12-month
doping ban, Glenn McGrath, who will miss the first two Tests to
spend time with his sick wife, and the injured Damien Martyn
The news form the middle is that Brian Lara has won the toss and
elected to bat first

Match State: Stumps - Day 3
`Hello and Welcome to the live coverage of the fourth days play
Yesterday Devon Smith (62) started off really well, smashing the
Australian bowling attack to all parts of the park
The stage is set for a classic finish thanks to centuries by Lara
(110) and Ganga (113)
West Indies lead by 129 runs with five wickets remaining,
Chanderpaul is still there and the news is that Jacobs will be
coming out to bat
Yesterday there was two more overs remaining when the light was
offered to the batsmen so we will have any early start today
forecast for the day is not so good "Predominantly overcast with
occasional sunny spots"
hope the weather gods will stay out of this Test
the pitch seems to be holding together, there are few cracks around
but nothing serious
but the odd delivery will misbehave

line, played wide of the mid-on fielder, easy single and it's all
over
And yet again Australia win the first Test match in a series
against West Indies
What a strong performance it has been - victory by 9 wickets
It was a good strip for batting, one must say
There were five centuries in all in this game and that tells you a
thing or two about the balance between bowlers and batsmen
Australia chose five specialist bowlers and that is another sign
that this wicket was well in favour of the batsmen
The West Indian first innings was plagued by loose shots and
umpiring errors, causing the hosts to be all out for a mere 237
after winning the toss
A brilliant hundred from Chanderpaul was the mainstay of the West
Indian first innings, well backed up by Ridley Jacobs (54)
So 237 it was then that West Indies managed, with the wickets
shared around between the Australian bowlers
When the Australians came out to bat there were no hurdles
Leading the charge at the top of the innings was Justin Langer
The pugnacious left-hander made a match high 146 at the top of the
order
Ricky Ponting made 117, Adam Gilchrist ever reliable at number six
chipped in with a breezy 77 and the tail wagged!
Australia replied to West Indies' 237 with a healthy 489
Bowling a tight line and length, Vasbert Drakes returned 5/93,
easily the pick of the bowlers
In their second innings the home side did much better
Sparkling tons from Brian Lara, the new captain and Daren Ganga
took West Indies to 398
This left the Australians with a target of 147 for a victory
Apart from a loss of concentration that cost Matthew Hayden his
wicket, the Aussie machine rolled on
Langer once again shone, with an innings high of 78 not out
With that we come to the end of the coverage of this game at
Georgetown
There isn't really much suspense about who the Man of the Match
should be...
For his knocks of 146 and 78 not out, Justin Lee Langer is the Man
of the Match! Richly deserved too, you might say. From here on to
the next Test the Australians will hope Langer carries his form
through the series
With that we come to the end of the coverage of this Test match
We enjoyed bringing it to you
We hope you'll join us again for the next Test of what promises to
be an exciting series
Till then, it's a very good evening to you all from the team at
Wisden CricInfo
