The Antilles VS Australia: tourists for 180 but retaliated late on the day of chaotic opening

Australia was from only 180 against the Antilles – but retaliated with the ball while 14 counters fell during a chaotic opening day of the first test in Bridgetown.

Sailors Jayden Seales and Shamar Joseph shared nine counters while Australia was rejected in less than 57 letters after winning the draw.

Travis Head was scored with 59 and Usman Khawaja opener struck 47, but Captain Pat Cummins (28) and Beau Webster (11) were the only other strikers to reach double figures.

Tourists have returned to the match when their experienced rhythm of Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood and Cummins combined to reduce the Antilles to 57-4 at the end.

“It was quite special,” said buckets, who took five counters and added that their plans had worked well.

“Shamar [Joseph] was special. He has a love for Australia. He crossed the upper command and facilitated our task in the middle and at the end.

“We knew that the strikers would arrive hard if we gave them the width, and the plan was to make a full bowl and as much in the stumps as possible.

“”[It was] A little slower than the Australians would have expected, which made them play much more. “”
