West Indies in tatters

Wed, Apr 25, '12

Brittle batting returned to haunt West Indies yesterday as they suffered a now-familiar collapse to leave Australia in control of the third and final Test at Windsor Park.

Chasing Australia's first innings of 328, West Indies ended the second day tottering on 165 for eight, still 163 runs adrift of their target.

They were battling on 62 for one at one stage after lunch, but lost seven wickets for 58 runs as off-spinner Nathan Lyon undermined the innings with three for 49.
