Australia has to work hard to break through against a stubborn West Indies lower order to secure a hard-fought victory over the tourists in the first match of the two-Test series in Perth.

abc.net.au/news/australia-wins-first-test-against-west-indies-final-day/101732132Australia has won the first Test against the West Indies by 164 runs, but the hosts were made to work hard by the tourists, who batted deep into the penultimate session of the match.

But a brilliant stand of 82 between Roston Chase and Alzarri Joseph stymied the Australians' victory march. Lyon completed a six-wicket haul by claiming the poles of Chase and Kemar Roach in consecutive balls to end the match and secure victory half-an-hour before tea.

Bring back the WACA for Test matches (or even regional). A ground with a bit of style..not the cheap oversized stadiums that always look empty

Would have finished a day earlier if they enforced the follow-on. But they didn’t, so Cummins could spend an extra day hobbling around the field.

GAZZZA! THA GOAT!

Was that after they gobbled every slightly brown persons genitals whilst taking a knee or before?

Wow the three people in the stands will never forget this win!!

Neighbourhood bullies win again. Yay.

So now the ABC criticised the Australian cricket team. We need to take the 'A' out of the ABC. Maybe replace it with 'W' for whining BC.

Be fair. they did without Cummins being able to bowl and Green could only bowl for restricted periods. So it was a very good result given the reduced bowling attack. Who knew Head would be a bowling star?
