Warrican: Windies fell short
Perhaps Voges will have time to become the seventh Australian to score a Test triple-century.

Australia lost three wickets in a breezy first session of play, after openers Warner and Joe Burns set about helping themselves to the West Indian bowling attack.
While the crowds and broadcasters loved the experience, and rival skippers Steve Smith and Brendon McCullum were in unison about the success of the initiative, Warner is not so sure. “It’s a fresh series for us, so we have to be positive going into it”, Holder told a match-eve media conference. “We’re going to do well, we’re going to do much better than you think”, he said. “It’s something I’ve been working really hard to try and do and I got 99 past year [against India], so to get to three figures on home soil was pretty special”.
Warner has been in great form in recent weeks, smashing 592 runs at 98.66 in the recent three-Test series against New Zealand, and Australia will go into the series as heavy favourites.
However, Ambrose rejected a notion that the once mighty West Indies could be disbanded.
“It’s a major blow because it’s a bowler short and any bowler right now would be key to help us to get Australia out”, Warrican said. Either way it’s an intriguing subplot, and we need to embrace those with every fibre of our being because, even after one day, the main plot is a foregone conclusion.
Hobart has hosted 11 Australia Tests since their first against Sri Lanka in 1989, but the city is not on the annual rota of Test venues like the mainland Australian capital cities.
Doubts about the Windies redoubled after they were humiliated by a rookie Cricket Australia XI by 10 wickets in their only warm-up game. Fast bowler Pattinson will replace the injured Mitchell Starc in the only change to the team that took field against New Zealand in Adelaide.
Warner continued on to make 64, while Steve Smith could only add 10.
“Patto’s a quality bowler”.

“We had a meeting, we had a talk about it and I explained to the guys in no uncertain terms that that’s unacceptable”, he said. The only other instance when West Indies conceded 400-plus in a day had happened a year before that, when England made 411 runs on the second day of the Jamaica Test. The 438 runs that they conceded today are the most they have conceded in a day in Tests. The second over of the day leaked 11 runs as Jerome Taylor strayed onto the pads of Voges, who clipped him easily for a boundary, and also benefited from four overthrows when West Indies’ backing up was inadequate after an attempted run-out.
