Voges century puts Australia on top

Thu, Jun 4, '15

A brilliant century on Test debut from Adam Voges has helped Australia recover from another disappointing performance against the turning ball and be in a dominant position after the second day of the first Test against the West Indies in Dominica. Voges finished unbeaten on 130 from 247 balls to become the oldest man in history to score a hundred in his first Test and the 20th Australian to achieve the feat.
Voges was the only frontline Australian batsman to resist against a quality display of leg-spin from Devendra Bishoo, who took career-best figures of 6-80.

The Windies lost both openers before stumps to be 2-25 at the close, a deficit of 145, with 22 wickets falling in a chaotic opening two days of the match.
