Webster-Carey pull Australia back once again
Australia should have been aiming for over 400 runs at the time of the toss. Usually, the team batting first on the first day of the Test has that target. However, Australia should not be unhappy even after being all out for less than three hundred in their first innings on the first day of the Grenada Test, which started yesterday. At one point, Pat Cummins was worried that they would be reduced to around 150 runs.
Webster-Carey pull Australia back once again
Australia, who are leading the series after winning in Barbados, were all out for 286 runs in the first innings of the second Test. The team, which lost 5 wickets for 110 runs, was able to get close to three hundred thanks to the 112-run partnership of Bo Webster and Alex Carey.
The West Indies, who had all out Australia in 67 overs, also left the stadium with relief. The hosts were supposed to bat towards the end of the day. But even though the two openers came out on the field, the umpires declared the day’s play closed due to insufficient light. The team lost 4 wickets in the late afternoon of the first day of the first Test.

Both got fiftiesAFP
At the time of the toss, Australia should have been thinking about more than 400 runs. Usually, the team batting first on the first day of the Test has the same goal. However, Australia should not be unhappy after being all out for three hundred in their first innings on the first day of the Grenada Test, which started yesterday. Pat Cummins was at one point in danger of being bundled out for 150.
Australia, who had won the series in Barbados, were all out for 286 in the first innings of the second Test. The team, which had lost 5 wickets for 110 runs, was able to get close to 300 thanks to the 112-run partnership of Bo Webster and Alex Carey.
The West Indies, who had bowled out Australia in 67 overs, also left the stadium with relief. The hosts were scheduled to bat towards the end of the day. But even though the two openers came out, the umpires declared the day’s play over due to insufficient light. The team lost 4 wickets in the late afternoon of the first day of the first Test.

Grenada wicket also had extra help for the pacersAFP
Although not as formidable as Barbados, the Grenada wicket had help for the pacers. The way Pat Cummins was bowled by Alzarri Joseph’s low delivery indicates that the wicket is getting worse over time. As a result, it may be understood today how big Australia’s 286 runs actually are.
The credit for this run goes entirely to Webster and Carey. Webster, who had scored 63 in the second innings of the first Test, made 60 runs this time. Carey made 63, from whose bat he had scored 65 in the second innings of the first Test. Australia’s run could have been even bigger. At one stage, they were 222 for 5. The team lost 5 wickets in the last 64 runs, Alzarri Joseph took 4 wickets.
