MELBOURNE. — The much-maligned West Indies have the resilience and ability to be a match for Australia in this week’s second Test cricket in Melbourne, star batsman Darren Bravo said yesterday.
Bravo was one of the Caribbean tourists’ few shining lights to come out of the shattering innings and 212 run hammering inside three days by Australia in the first Test in Hobart.
He top scored with 108 in the West Indies’ first innings, while opener Kraigg Brathwaite contributed 94 after Australia skipper Steve Smith enforced the follow-on. While the West Indies were pilloried for their listless approach to the Test, Bravo said his side will be much better prepared for the Melbourne Cricket Ground showpiece. — AFP.
