West Indies vs Australia 1. Test Live score: Australia, which is still recovering from the recent final defeat of the WTC, has made several changes in its group, some of the selection and others for injury. When Marnus Labuschagne spoke of the West Indies team, Captain Aussie Pat Cummins said that while Labuschagne is undoubtedly a test body of the international caliber at best, he now has to get his place back to the side.
With Usman Khawaja and Travis head, the only seasoned names in a relatively inexperienced six best six, Aussie bats looks shaky, but their bowling attack remains elite. Tested and tested Quartet Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood and Nathan Lyon do not need an introduction. They remain dangerous and able to turn games themselves.
Meanwhile, West Indies tries to rewrite history. It was a long waiting for the last time they defeated Australia in the home series, but under the new Captain Roston Chase is hope. Winds have a good mixture of experience and hunger, with Kraigg Brathwaite, Shai Hope and Alzarri Joseph bring know-how, while fresh faces like Shamar Joseph and Jayden Seales bring fire. In particular, Shamar will have his eyes on another impressive performance after Australia in Brisbane.
The conditions could play a big role here. If the playground offers sailors something, both sides have fire energy to use it. But with both batting sets that face pressure, it could descend to who holds their nerve longer. Australia first decided to win after winning in throwing – and the stage is ready for the fascinating five days of the test cricket.
