I only saw the last handful of overs, so can't say too much about the conditions. The fact that all the batsmen got decent starts and none, besides Wade, went on with it suggests that batting was never too easy...?

Will it slow up as time goes on?

Given that the pitch can take spin, and it's not exactly a fluent batting wicket, I would say slight advantage Australia.

Two wickets each for Holder and Gabriel, while Benn was economical.

I don't have cricket tv anymore. I was guessing based on what is usual in WI...

Great start for Charles. But Australia started well and then got stuck.

Mitch3- 4-1-4-3. West Indies in big trouble.

I'm calling this for Australia. Too much for WI to do. Well done you Aussies.

Huh. I go to work for a few hours and it's all over.

Not often that Aus bowl a team out and Starc gets no wickets - not such a bad thing, I suppose.

Well, the top order collapsed again from 49 without loss to 72-4, to be bowled out for 212 by pacers Josh Hazlewood (5-50) and Mitch Marsh (3-32). Charles made 45 and Ramdin 40, while Holder was out for 34, and none of the other batsmen really got going.
