West Indies struggle
MELBOURNE, Nov 12: The West Indies continued to struggle Saturday against Victoria, desperately needing to rediscover some kind of form ahead of next week’s second Australia Test in Hobart.
Victoria plundered the tourists’ lame bowling to amass an ominous total of 571 off 122.4 overs and the West Indies were left labouring at 144 for four off 34 overs at stumps on the the second day.
Marlon Samuels (50) and Devon Smith (34) were the only batsmen to get a start, as Chris Gayle (17) and Ramnaresh Sarwan (10) missed their chance for valuable time in the middle on a good batting wicket.
