Early blows put Australia on top in Day 2


3 early wickets have put the Australian test cricket team on top on day 2 of the second test between the West Indies and Australia. Michael Beer returned in this test and was very suprisingly given the new ball and bowled the first over. He was bowling well and pitching the shiny new ball up. He recieved the wicket of opening batsmen Adrain Barath for a score of just 7. Beer trapped him plum LBW. Ben Hilfenhaus and James Pattinson also each recieved early wickets. Hilfenhaus had Kraigg Braithwaite LBW for a duck. James Pattinson also got his wicket with LBW getting Keiran Powell trapped in front of the stumps for 19. The West Indies are at a score of 49 for the loss of 3 wickets in reply to Australia's 1st innings score of 311. In Australia's first innings Michael Hussey had a very important innings of 73. So here is the current indivual performances: current West Indies batsmen: Shivnarine Chanderpaul:1 Darren Bravo: 16 and the current bowling staus is Michael Beer on 1 for 22 of 9.3 overs with 5 maidens and Nathan Lyon is on 0 for 9 off 8 overs with 4 maidens.
