It marked the third time this series that the West Indies pace attack have bowled out the world\u2019s No.1 Test side for a sub-par total, leaving the ICC World Test Championship clash finely balanced heading into Day 2.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cI more look at it like the homework we've done and our bowlers keep challenging the top-order,\u201d Sammy reflected at stumps. \u201cI mean, (bowling coach) Ravi Rampaul ever since he has come in \u2014 the culture we tried to change \u2014 and it's more importantly the way the bowlers are buying into it and we could see the results out there.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The home side\u2019s fast bowlers shared the wickets, with Alzarri Joseph leading the way by claiming 4 for 63, including prized scalps of Steve Smith and Usman Khawaja. Jayden Seales chipped in with 2 for 45, ensuring Australia never truly settled despite brief resistance.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cLike I said, 30 wickets in three innings \u2014 I mean, so many times you would have a declaration or in the first innings against our attack,\u201d Sammy added. \u201cThe bowlers have done their homework and when they put the ball in the right areas, it's not just Australia \u2014 they would have worried any batting top-order (in the world).\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Sammy was satisfied with the overall position of the match at stumps despite periods where Australia threatened to take control. \u201cIf you start the day with the opposition winning the toss and batting, and you restrict them to 280 you would take that,\u201d he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cWe have played three innings against the No.1 team in the world and we've got them 30 wickets, probably 37 if you count all the dropped catches. They had patches after lunch where we let them get away with it, but I think the session after that when we got five wickets kind of made up for it.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u201cThe wicket is still offering enough, definitely with the new-ball it looked like it swung around quite a bit that morning session so hopefully we take advantage of that (on the second day),\u201d Webster said. \u201cI would have liked to put a three in front (of Australia\u2019s score) no doubt, but 286 I think is a relatively good day.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
