Australia`s top order falters again as Carey and Webster rescue the innings in a challenging second Test against the West Indies.

Australia`s batting woes continued to haunt them in the second Test against the West Indies, as the top order faltered once more. Bowled out for a mere 286 runs in just 70 overs, the Australian side saw no player from the top five manage to breach the 30-run mark. It was a disheartening display, but Alex Carey and Beau Webster emerged as the unlikely heroes, both scoring fifties—Carey with a gritty 63 and Webster contributing 60 runs. Their partnership provided a glimmer of hope amidst the chaos.

On the bowling front, Alzarri Joseph was the standout performer for the West Indies, wreaking havoc with figures of 4 for 61, showcasing his skill and determination to dismantle the Australian lineup. Meanwhile, in a contrasting performance, Australia A showcased their dominance over Sri Lanka A in the first One-Day match held in Darwin, clinching victory by a staggering 198 runs. Nathan McSweeney led the charge with an impressive unbeaten 85 off just 63 balls, while debutant Ollie Peake made his mark with a swift 55 not out off 38 balls. The excitement continues as the second game of the Australia A series is set for Sunday, July 6th. For more updates, check out Cricket News and Cricket Updates.
