The Windies limited Australia to 226/7 after sending in the Aussies on a bouncy Kensington Oval pitch. Dwayne Bravo (3/48) and Jerome Taylor (2/44) shared most wickets as the Australian batsmen were peppered with quality fast bowling. Only Andrew Symonds (52) managed to add respectability to the Aussie total as the Aussies were reduced to 111/5.
However, the Aussies are only fortunate to be in the position they find themselves as Symonds for the second match in a row, was inexplicably given not out to a catch down the legside. As with the last test in Antigua, the ball clearly brushed his glove and the umpire refused to give him out. Symonds presumably is not a walker as it was quite obvious in both instances that he must have known that he should have been out. As with Antigua, the unlucky bowler was again Bravo. At the time Australia were 133/5 and Symonds' wicket would have been huge. As it is, the Windies will try to finish off the Australian tail early tomorrow. Brett Lee is at the crease so we should be treated to some fiery bouncers from Fidel Edwards tomorrow.
