“We probably let ourselves down a little bit, obviously with the no-balls”, he told reporters.

CES 2016 Dates And Highlights: What To Expect
The biggest change to CES came in the late 1990s and early 2000s, when the granddaddy of PC shows, Comdex , began to falter. Other exhibits will highlight robotics, smart-home technology and high-end home-entertainment systems.

The Windies had better moments in the second Melbourne Test than the three-day Hobart shambles, but they still went down by 177 runs.

“I’ve felt like I am going to get a catch at first slip quite a bit, I’ve taken a few this series off him and against New Zealand for the right hander… that line that he is bowling is bringing in both sides of the wicket for dismissals”.

He made it 40 yards before being dragged down at the 3-yard line, setting up a go-ahead touchdown pass to Crabtree. Malcolm Smith forced a fumble on a catch by David Johnson, and Benson Mayowa returned it 41 yards to the 3.

O’Keefe, 31, was eager to leave his mark on his comeback after playing his sole Test against Pakistan more than a year ago.

“It’d be good to see a second spinner play and see what he’s got to offer”, the skipper said.

Australia spinner Steve O’Keefe insists he would be unfazed by missing out on a spot in the XI for the third Test against West Indies. A Sheffield Shield match between NSW and Victoria was abandoned in November after the outfield was deemed unfit for play.

Smith was confident Nathan Lyon and O’Keefe would be a potent force, having seen them bowl in tandem for NSW and the Sydney Sixers.

The West Indies have gained some confidence out of their series loss to Australia and are looking to finish their underwhelming tour on a high in the final Sydney Test, captain Jason Holder said Saturday. “At times like at Wagga, at Bankstown, there’s been situations where Nathan and I have bowled the majority of the overs and just enjoyed going each side of the bat”.

“Our understanding is it s been spinning”.

It will be the first time in a decade that Australia will play two specialist spin bowlers at home, after leg-spinners Shane Warne and Stuart MacGill bowled together against South Africa in Sydney in 2006.

With a successive Test series victory, Smith also found himself finishing 2015 atop the Test runs tally.

Jason Holder, the West Indies skipper, was hopeful of finishing a disappointing tour on an upswing. The Australians are getting the wickets they want, but there have been constant instances when they took a wicket and it turned out to be a no-ball because of the bowler overstepping.

“Our batting’s been very good all summer”.

Australia: David Warner, Usman Khawaja, Joe Burns, Steve Smith (captain), Adam Voges, Mitchell Marsh, Peter Nevill, James Pattinson, Steve O’Keefe, Nathan Lyon, Josh Hazlewood.
