Australia Vs West Indies Brisbane 1st Test, West Indies are down and out in the first Test at Gabba with a score of 134 for 5 at the close of Day 2 in reply to Australia’s 480 for 8 declared. The tourists are facing a huge deficit of 346 and are on course of following on! They have been revived slightly though through an unbroken 6th wicket stand of 38 between no.3 Travis Dowlin (40*) and wicket keeper Denesh Ramdin (18*).
Australia added about 160 runs on the second day before declaring their innings just before Tea. Marcus North, the overnight batsman went onto score 79 while Nathan Hauritz scored a maiden fifty. Windies started in a rapid manner smashing 41 on the board in the six overs before Tea but after the break lost their way totally. Hilfenhaus got rid of a dangerous Gayle on 31 which began a batting collapse. The other pacers followed him and Windies found themselves at 96 for 5 inside 30 overs.

The Australian bowlers got good pace off the wicket which caused the downfall of the West Indian batsman. Chanderpaul was one of them as an inswinger from Siddle skidded through to strike the pad in a shuffle across the stumps.
