Match State: Day 1 start scheduled for 10.05am local time (14.05 GMT)
Hello and welcome to the start of the third Test in this series
Australia have already secured the Frank Worrell Trophy, but are
looking for a whitewash
Without question, the third Test between West Indies and Australia
will be dominated by the contest between two men, Brian Lara and
Glenn McGrath
In the absence of his nemesis, Lara has run amok, scoring 349 runs
in four innings with inimitable panache
This Test however might be a different story with McGrath back
It's a clear, sunny day at Bridgetown Barbados
The outfield is green the weather looks perfect for cricket
The pitch is a bit more dry than usual here
There's no live grass on the surface
There are a few cracks on the surface as well - a bit unusual for
this venue
West Indies have won the toss and elected to field
Lara looks to the two fastest bowlers in the Caribbean, Tino Best
and Jermaine Lawson to do the job
Tino Best, on his home ground, will make his debut, as will 21-
year-old offspinner Omari Banks
Australia have left out Brad Hogg, going for three seamers in
McGrath, Lee and Bichel, backed up by the one spinner in MacGill
Play is about to begin here
It's Langer and Hayden to open the batting
Jermaine Lawson will take the new ball
0.1 Lawson to Langer, one run, short and on the off, the ball kicks off
a length and Langer pokes at it, the edge flies to the slip cordon
where Sarwan gets his fingers to the ball but cannot catch!
What a start to this Test match!

With that we come to the end of the second day's play of this Test
match
Australia put on a mammoth 605/9 thanks to centuries from Ponting,
Waugh and 96 from Lehmann
Langer and Bichel chipped in with valuable 70s and Australia
cruised along
It was a special day for Steve Waugh who went past Sunil Gavaskar's
aggregate of 10,122 Test runs
The Australian captain also crossed Dir Don Bradman's tally of 29
Test centuries
When it was their turn to bat, West Indies began well
Openers Chris Gayle (47*) and Devon Smith (34*) took West Indies to
89/0 from 23 overs
They will be keen to kick things off tomorrow, on the third day of
play. So will we. Be sure to join us
Till then it's a very good evening to you all from the team at
Wisden CricInfo
Match State: Stumps - Day 2
Welcome to the start of the third day's play of this third Test
between West Indies and Australia
After a strong Australian performance, the West Indian openers have
done a good job to get to 89/0 at the end of a tricky spell
There's still a lot of work to do yet and the first task will be to
score 406, the score needed to avoid the follow on
There's terrible news here with Lara down with chicken pox for the
second time
He's not at the ground and this could be very bad news for the
Windies
It's still unclear whether he'll be back to bat, but it looks
unlikely at the moment
Here we go, the players are on the field!

And that is a dramatic end to the third day's play. MacGill has
been turning it a lot all day, this one floats onto leg, spins
across the face of the batsman, hits the pad, goes onto the bat
and to Ricky Ponting at silly mid off. No mistake this time!
That ends a very satidfying day for the australians
West Indies are 291/8 in response to 605
If Australia wrap the West Indian first innings up quickly on the
fourth day they might even want to enforce the follow on
To see how it goes, join us at Wisden CricInfo for all the action
from the very first ball
Till then it is a very good night to you all from te team at Wisden

please join us again at 14.05 GMT, West Indies are 90 behind going
into to Day 5
Match State: Stumps - Day 4
The players are walking onto the field now, welcome to coverage of
the final day's play
The game is interestingly poised with Brian Lara and Ramnaresh
Sarwan defending stoutly
The Australians need to get Lara early on a wearing wicket
For the home side, they need Lara to bat on and on and on
Whether his fitness holds up is a key question
Sarwan too needs to put his head down and bat carefully
MacGill toSarwan first up
72.1 MacGill to Sarwan, OUT: full and on the off, the ball bounces just
a few inches before hittiong the boot of Sarwan, loud shout for
the lbw, umpire Venkat assumes the ball is going to carry straight
on and gives the lbw!

A wicket first ball - the last thing West Indies needed
You have to say that Sarwan was very very unlucky there

miss the stumps
