West Indies President's XI, winning the toss and opting to bat, were 288 for five at the close on the opening day of the three-day tour match against the touring Australians at the Vivian Richards Cricket Ground here yesterday.
With two places still up for grabs in the West Indies squad ahead of the first Test in Dominica next week, three players-opener Rejendra Chandrika, wicketkeeper Shane Dowrich and Roston Chase-all got half centuries to press their claims.
Chandrika made 74, Dowrich 78 and Chase was unbeaten on 65, along with Trinidad and Tobago's Jason Mohammed on 42 not out.
