Aust, struggling for survival
NZPA-Reuter St John’s, Antigua Australia, one test down
and struggling for survival in the fourth cricket test against the West Indies, faces its moment of truth when the match resumes today after yesterday’s rest day.
The West Indies, bolstered by a record third-wicket partnership of 308 between Richie Richardson and Viv
Richards, are 231 runs in front of the tourists with two days to push home their advantage. In addition Australia knows it has scored over 300 only once in the series and
that it was bowled out for just 97 in the second innings of the third test.
Scores: Australia 262 (A. R. Border 98, D. W. Hookes 51; Baptiste 3/42, Holding 3/42). West Indies 493/9 (R. B. Richardson 154, I. V. A. Richards 178; Rackemann 4/155, Maguire 3/122).
