adminGEELONG. — An embarrassing fielding blunder added to the woes of the beleaguered West Indies in their final hit-out yesterday before the second Test cricket against Australia on Boxing Day.
The Caribbean tourists, who were hammered by an innings in the first Test in Hobart, declared overnight at 303 for eight in their two-day game with a Victoria XI in Geelong.
The inexperienced locals were 169 for three in reply when play was abandoned on the final day by rain, with an unprofessional piece of fielding from Jerome Taylor helping their cause.
