1st Test: Australia v West Indies at Brisbane, 3-7 Nov 2005
Ball-by-Ball Commentary
Match State: Day 1 start scheduled for 10.00am AEST (00.00 GMT)
Hello and Welcome to Cricinfo's Live Coverage of the West Indies'
tour of Australia.
After a fantastic Ashes series back in England, where the hosts
won some crucial sessions to win back the Ashes after 16 years,
Australia bounced back with vengence to beat the Rest of the World
XI in what was almost a one-sided Super Series.
`Australia stamped their authority once again in both - the Super
test and the one day arena, and proved that they are still 'Numero
Uno' in International cricket.
`The West Indies, a group of young and talented cricketers, are
visiting Australia after a gap of 5 years - the last time around,
when they toured Australia, they were beated 5-0 and only 2 off
the 5 tests on that tour lasted the full length.
`The Caribbean has been dogged in controversy recently, with player
contracts, et al, but it is nice to see a full strength West
Indies team now travel to Australia to challenge the might of the
Aussies.
`On the team news front, Justin Langer failed to recover from a
rib-injury, which means his team-mate at 'Western Australia' will
get his first test cap - Hussey will become the 393rd cricketer to
sport the famous 'Baggy Green'
`For the West Indies, opener Wavell Hinds has to miss the first
test because of an injury, which means it will be Chris Gayle and
Devon Smith who will be called upon to counter the new-ball.
`The news from out in the middle is that the West Indies have won
the toss and decided to bowl first - there is a bit of green on
the wicket, and with West Indies having a bowling-attack
comprising at least four quicks, its probably the right decision.

It's been an interesting day's cricket today - Australia were in
the driver's seat at one point of time - at Lunch they were 95 for
1 and Hayden and Ponting were looking good for a big score
The West Indies though looked a completely different side post
lunch as Corey Collymore came up with a tidy spell and finished
the day with four wickets
For the Australians, it was Ricky Ponting, their captain who once
again produced the goods with a commanding 149
The Aussies still have Shane Warne and Brett Lee at the crease, and
given their exploits during the Ashes, the West Indies must surely
be wary of the batting talents of the duo
That's it from us for now - do join us back for the second day's
play at 0000 Hrs GMT
Cheers and Good Night from the entire team here at Cricinfo

Australia declared at their overnight score and set West Indies a
target of 509.Aussies took an early wicket, Gayle and Sarwan
played quite well for a while but Watson gave the breakthrough
with the wicket of Gayle.
Then Bracken and Lee joined in to destroy the Windies after lunch.A
poor show in the 2nd innings as well from the Windies batsmen,
only two top order batsmen getting into the thirties.
Lee ending up with a 5-wicket haul and Bracken has his best figures
in Test cricket.Australia lead the 3-match series 1-0.
Australian skipper Ricky Ponting declared man of the match for his
centuries in both the innings. That's it from us and cheers from
Cricinfo live coverage team.
