Australia struggled to 212 for 7 at Stumps on Day 1 of the Third Digicel Test Match at the Windsor Park in Roseau, Dominica
On a pitch that offered quick turn and bounce, Australia struggled to score 212 for 7 in 90 overs on Day 1 of the third and final Test at the Windsor Park in Roseau in Dominica.
Local Dominican boy Shane Shillingford was a nightmare for the visitors as the tall off spinner claimed 4 for 77 in 34 overs. Shilingford got the ball to kick up with sharp turn to make life miserable for the Australian batsmen.
Batting first after winning the toss, Australia lost a wicket in the 2nd over of the Test Match itself to Ravi Rampaul. David Warner (50 from 136 balls with 6 fours) and Shane Watson (41 from 120 balls with 3 fours) tried to repair the situation but Australia went nowhere after their dismissals at 105 for 3.
Australia slipped to 169 for 7 by the evening and could recover slightly to 212 for 7 by stumps with Matthew Wade at the crease on 22* (from 72 balls) along with Mitchell Starc on 24*.
