Forward Sebastian Aho (CAR) has been a part of a Finnish first line that has been an offensive juggernaut at this tournament. Even when outshooting opponents by a decent margin, as they did on Saturday 34-25, the shot selection was at times passive.

Pettine had two years left on his contract, but Haslam and his wife, Dee, aren’t happy with the direction of their franchise. But if the Browns do have any hope of maxing out Manziel’s ability, Gase’s talented offensive mind would come in handy.
The Australian spinners then began to create an impact and Windies started losing wickets in the form of Jermaine Blackwood (10 runs) and Jason Holder (1 run).

But, Craig Brathwaite and Darren Bravo, the two batsmen who have shown some spark in this series came together as a result of this wicket. “He is a good young cricketer but to burden him with that job is in my opinion ridiculous in the first place”, said Chappell.

Both he and Brathwaite started and stopped before Samuels was left stranded by the throw to the keeper’s end.
“There’s enough time even if it’s rain affected”.
Pattinson dug one in and Bravo top-edged to Usman Khawaja at backward square leg in the third over after lunch.
Sure enough, Hazlewood swung the Kookaburra early and was rewarded with the dismissal of recalled opener Shai Hope.
Hope, brought into the side for Rajenda Chandrika when the opener suffered a groin strain in the warm-up, lasted just 17 balls of the morning before nicking a Josh Hazlewood delivery behind to Peter Nevill.

The West Indies, who will be playing in their first Test at the Sydney Cricket Ground in 15 years, will be trying to prevent the Australians from sweeping the series and possibly returning to the top of the Test rankings.
