Australia vs West Indies 2nd Test , Steve Smith Failed As Test Opener:
The first blow for Australia came at just 0.6 overs when Kemar Roach dismissed the prolific Steve Smith. Smith, who was batting as a Test opener, fell victim to an lbw decision. The delivery, a length ball on off-stump, didn’t rise as much as Smith anticipated. Positioned across his stumps, Smith aimed to work it into the leg-side, only to be trapped right in front. The ball-tracker confirmed the dismissal, with three reds, and Smith had to walk back to the pavilion after scoring 6 runs.
Alzarri Joseph claimed the wicket of Marnus Labuschagne.
Australia’s woes deepened at 1.5 overs when Alzarri Joseph claimed the wicket of Marnus Labuschagne. The right-hander attempted to tuck a short-of-length delivery outside off into the leg-side but ended up edging it. Kevin Sinclair at third-slip took a spectacular catch, leaving Labuschagne to depart with just 3 runs to his name.
The West Indies bowlers demonstrated precision and effectiveness, putting Australia on the back foot early in their innings. The visitors’ strong performance in the 1st Session has given them a significant advantage, leaving Australia with a challenging task ahead as they look to recover in the remainder of the match.
