Australia mull two spinners for Sydney Test vs West Indies
“We go to Sri Lanka later in the year, where there is a good chance we’ll see two spinners playing, or in the touring party”.

.20) from 0.45 riyals per litre. Vehicles thronged petrol stations in Saudi Arabia Monday evening to fill up tanks at the old rates.
Lehmann said that the struggling tourists had played extremely well despite losing the series, insisting them to continue performing in the same way to improve themselves as a side, Sport24 reported. It was the first century partnership of the series for the West Indians.
It ended the West Indies’ innings on 282, giving Australia a 177-run victory and an unassailable 2-0 lead in the Frank Worrell Trophy series.
Off-spinner Lyon and all-rounder Marsh were responsible for all but three of the West Indies second-innings wickets to fall on day four.
Skipper Jason Holder on Tuesday (December 29) called for greater discipline from his bowlers as West Indies head to Sydney this week with the series lost but plenty still to prove.
“Weather will come into it, what happens with the game, but the way the wicket has been playing, it’s been spinning so there’s a real chance we’ll do that this time”.
Skipper Holder’s resistance ended in the final overs of the day as he drove Marsh straight to Josh Hazlewood at mid-off.
However, Australia dismissed Darren Bravo, Rajendra Chandrika and Marlon Samuels in the afternoon session leaving West Indies 146 for 4 at tea.
“I was glad the way we finished off. Taking that wicket just before the new ball was crucial for us”.
The captain also commended Lyon, whose 3-85 included removing debutant Carlos Brathwaite with a delivery that tickled the off bail just enough to dislodge it, in the last over before the second new ball. Kemar Roach went for 11 and Jerome Taylor was last man out for a duck after skying Marsh to a sprawling James Pattinson at fine leg. This would have been to the relief of Cricket Australia, given day four attracted a paltry 7161, nearly a 75 per cent decline from day three, and even fewer would have been expected if there had been a day five.
The West Indies have yet to pass 300 in seven Test innings against Australia this year.
Smith and Voges repeated the dose on day two, guiding Australia to a score of 3-551 (dec) that would set up a massive lead of 280 on the first innings, effectively putting the Windies out of contention.
Pattinson had two wickets denied to him for overstepping on Sunday’s third day, and it was the wicketless Hazlewood’s turn on day four.
Only Joe Root (1,372) was in a position in England’s current Test match against South Africa in Durban to overtake him in the final Test of the year.

“I thought our energy, intent and all that in the field was probably as good as it s been this summer and to be able to get that back was good”.
