Right then, that’s all from what has been an entertaining Test match, where Australia sealed an unassailable 2-0 lead in the series. They'll now have their sights set on a clean sweep, while West Indies will be eager to bounce back and get on the board. The third and final Test will be a Day/Night affair at Sabina Park in Jamaica, and it gets underway on 13th July at 6.30 pm GMT (Previous Day). As always, you can join us early for all the build-up. Until then, take care and goodbye!
Pat Cummins, the victorious skipper of Australia, says both the Tests were fought hard, and he is happy to have come out on top, given that they were in a spot of bother at times in both the Tests. He adds that the Windies are always a challenging side to beat in their home conditions, and hence, he feels happy about the win. On whether there was a change in plans in the second innings, he says that the pitch deteriorated quite a bit, and it became easier for the pacers to keep on hitting the right areas and reap rewards. On the upcoming Pink Ball Test, he says they want to maintain the same high standards, as getting the crucial WTC points is important. He says that they deserve a bit of a break, and with a week's gap between the next Test, it’s just ideal. On Carey’s effort, he mentions that Carey has most of the time walked into bat in tricky situations and has delivered, so he feels that Carey’s knocks were very important in the context of the game.
Roston Chase, the captain of West Indies, says that the new ball was the biggest challenge, but they also could not get the partnerships in the middle. Adds that if they had batted better upfront for 10-15 overs, they would have had a chance. Admits that chasing 270-plus was tough but still thinks they could have done a lot better. Credits his bowlers for the way they have bowled and says that they are always hungry to bowl, and sometimes it becomes tough for him to rotate them.
Alex Carey is the PLAYER OF THE MATCH for his valuable contributions with the bat. He says he looks to score and put the pressure back on the opposition. He feels batting with a bit of intent on these wickets is important, and he tried to do that. On his mindset as a batter in these two Tests, he says it’s been enjoyable, and he understands Test cricket can be tough, and he has adjusted well to the conditions. He adds that to be able to contribute to the win is terrific, and he also reminds us of the last home series where they weren’t able to win the series, and says that because of that particular home series, this win feels sweet.
Presentation Time...
West Indies wrapped up the Australia innings quickly in the morning, conceding just 22 runs as Shamar Joseph finished with a four-wicket haul. Chasing 277, they were rocked early at 29/3, and just as Brandon King looked solid, Pat Cummins struck with a peach before Lunch. Roston Chase and Shai Hope fought back with a brisk stand, but once Hazlewood broke through, the collapse began. Despite some late hitting from Shamar, who is now their second-highest scorer in this series, Mitchell Starc and Nathan Lyon wrapped things up with three wickets each, sealing another convincing win for Australia by 133 runs.
Australia started the 'Moving Day' solidly as Steve Smith and Cameron Green soaked up the pressure and stitched a vital 93-run stand. Green reached a composed fifty but got out right after that. Smith also reached his half-century and, alongside Travis Head, helped stretch the lead past 200. But just as they looked set, Justin Greaves got a couple of quick wickets, and Shamar Joseph struck again to get Head. Alex Carey looked assured at the crease and, along with Cummins, guided Australia to stumps with a decent lead and a strong platform for Day 4.
West Indies showed fight with the bat on Day 2 as Brandon King led the way with a gritty 75. He built handy partnerships with Roston Chase and Shai Hope, but Australia hit back hard after Lunch with Josh Hazlewood striking early, and Pat Cummins and Nathan Lyon sharing three quick scalps towards the end. The lower order added crucial runs, with Shamar and Alzarri Joseph stitching a 51-run stand to cut the deficit to just 33. Jayden Seales then delivered a fiery burst with the new ball, removing both Aussie openers, but Cameron Green and Nathan Lyon saw out the day without further damage.
After electing to bat first, Australia got off to a steady start but lost three quick wickets to slip from 47/0 to 50/3. Travis Head and Cameron Green did some damage control, but Green fell just before Lunch. After a rain delay, Beau Webster and Alex Carey took charge, adding a fluent 99 runs in the session that kept the Windies under pressure. Carey notched up a solid fifty, Webster followed suit, and the lower order chipped in to push the total close to 300, but bad light meant the Windies openers were spared late drama.
AUSSIES ALL THE WAY! Another dominant win for Australia as they kick off their WTC campaign with back-to-back victories, sealing the series 2-0 in style. While the scorecard may suggest a comfortable result, it was anything but, much like the first Test, Australia had to dig deep and work hard for this win. West Indies showed flashes of promise yet again but couldn’t deliver the decisive punch, as the relentless Aussie bowling attack proved simply too strong to overcome.

Nathan Lyon To Jayden Seales OUT!
OUT! CAUGHT AND BOWLED! Australia wins by 133 runs and goes 2-0 up and wins the series! Tossed up ball on middle, Jayden Seales accepts the invitation as he swings hard at that one, he doesn't middle it as he hits it off the bottom of the bat. The ball only gets a bit of air and goes behind the bowler. Nathan Lyon does well to run backwards and takes a tumbling catch.
