Can The Baggy Greens head into The Ashes on a high?
Wednesday 10 June 2015 15:54, UK
The first Test against West Indies couldn't have gone much better for Australia.
Debutant Adam Voges scored a hundred; fast-bowlers Mitchell Johnson, Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood snared a truckload of wickets, and the Baggy Greens won inside three days!
After dominating in Dominica, Michael Clarke's men will now try to wrap-up the two-Test series at Jamaica's Sabina Park and head into this summer's Ashes on a wave of momentum.
You can see how Australia fare on Sky Sports as we bring you live coverage of each day's play, starting with day one from 3.55pm on Thursday on Sky Sports 5 (channel 406).
Voges will be eager to get back into action, having, at 35 years of age, become the oldest player to hit a hundred on Test debut during the opening encounter in Roseau.
Seamer Hazlewood helped the Perth-born player through to his first-innings ton, entering the crease with Voges on 77 and combining with him to put on 97 for the last wicket.
But Hazlewood's form with the ball will be of more concern for West Indies – and England, for that matter – as the New South Wales quick bowled with the metronomic accuracy of Glenn McGrath.
With Mitchells Starc and Johnson reaching scorching speeds at the other end, the home side were blown away with over two days to spare, sinking to 148 and 216 all out.
So, will Australia dazzle again or will West Indies come back fighting, just as they did against England in the spring? Find out with Sky Sports.
