As they face a massive task, to prevent Australia from taking a 2-0 lead in the three day test series.

Burns though enjoys a fruitful opening partnership with David Warner, with whom he shared three successive century stands against New Zealand.
It would be unfair to say that Marsh, who has made several comebacks into the Australian side in the past, deserved a place ahead of Khawaja.
Several players with Test experience are now campaigning in the Big Bash League T20 Down Under while the West Indies are clashing with Australia in a three-Test series, and Simmons said it was “frustrating” not having these players available to strengthen the squad, reports CMC. “Jerome Taylor and Kemar Roach are pretty good bowlers, they’ve had great success in the past against us and other teams, so I think that’s one area they’ll improve a lot on; their opening bowlers”.
Captain Steve Smith confirmed Marsh, coming off a 182 in Hobart, would make way after his highest ever Test score.
“Shaun is obviously extremely unlucky to miss out after scoring a brilliant 189 (sic) in the past Test match and 49 under a bit of pressure in the Test before that”. Smith, who has been troubled by knee and hip soreness, had an extended hit in the nets on Christmas Day and struggled for fluency. Smith said he is fully fit, with the extended break after the abbreviated three-day first Test allowing him to rest his niggles.
Bravo, meanwhile, an energetic all-rounder, played the last of his 40 Tests five years ago and retired from the format earlier this year to focus on limited overs cricket. For me, just looking at it, [we could be] just one good day away from a turnaround.
He further called on the Caribbean side to play more as a team rather than individuals, insisting them to play at the top of the game in the upcoming matches.
Bravo top-scored with 108 in the first innings, while Kraigg Brathwaite, the opener, contributed 94 after Steven Smith, the Australian captain enforced the follow-on.
“We can always improve in certain areas”, Smith said.
