Australia retain Frank Worrell Trophy with comprehensive victory over West Indies
St George's: Australia's 30-year domination of the Frank Worrell Trophy has continued with another comfortable series win after a West Indies capitulation on day four in Grenada. Pat Cummins' men have taken a 2-0 lead with one Test to play in Kingston thanks to three wicket hauls from Mitchell Starc (3-24 from eight overs) and Nathan Lyon (3-42 from 5.3 overs). This West Indian team have shown promise with the ball throughout the series but their batting is a shambles, particularly on deteriorating pitches. Without a generational talent like Viv Richards or Brian Lara, the West Indies simply don't have the depth to match it with teams like Australia at the moment. Australia, seven down at stumps last night, only lasted another seven overs on day four to be bowled out for 243, with a lead of 276. When West Indian opener John Campbell was trapped in front for a second ball duck against Josh Hazlewood, the beginning of another collapse was imminent. The home side managed just 143 in 34.3 overs as Australia secured a clinical 133-run win. Lyon snared the final wicket of the Test with a superb caught and bowled effort that went high in the air. West Indian skipper Roston Chase (34 off 41 balls) was the only member of his team who faced more than 26 deliveries in the last innings of the match.

West Indies v Australia, second Test day two live: Scoreboard, latest news from Grenada
Don't miss out on the headlines from Cricket. Followed categories will be added to My News. Australia is hoping to cash in on variable bounce in the Grenada pitch which reared its head on day one of the second Test against the West Indies. Pat Cummins has dismissed by a delivery which kept low, the most significant sign of demons in the pitch on the opening day of play. FOLLOW THE KEY MOMENTS FROM DAY TWO WITH DANIEL CHERNY BELOW 'I think there was probably opportunity there for a few more runs. But we're in the game with 280-plus. I think there was enough variable (bounce) there on day one,' Aussie keeper Alex Carey told SEN. 'Potentially that will come into play tomorrow, three and four. I guess prefer to have 280 than anything less and we're in the game.' On Pat Cummins' dismissal — when the ball kept alarmingly low — Carey said: 'We saw Pat Cummins' dismissal today. That's 50 overs in and it stays low. There was enough movement there early for sure.' Carey said Australia's top-three played encouragingly to help set up a total of 286 which was spearheaded by the gloveman and Beau Webster. 'I thought the openers started really well today … I thought Usman and especially Sam Konstas, his intent was fantastic. I thought he really looked the part out there today. Then Cam Green came in and did the same thing. Had great intent. Played good shots. He looked really solid. They are promising signs,' he said.

Australia 'happy' even after mixed day with bat
Pat Cummins' star-studded bowling attack have been backed to again power Australia out of trouble as the top-order struggles continued in the Caribbean. Wickets tumbled either side of Alex Carey and Beau Webster's 112-run stand as Australia were dismissed for 286 at stumps on day one of the second Test against the West Indies. Alzarri Joseph's 4-61 helped restrict the Aussies, who are gunning for an unassailable 2-0 series lead in Grenada. All but the returning Steve Smith got starts in Australia's top-seven, but it was left to Webster (60) and Carey (63) to restore some order in the second session. The tourists slumped to 4-93 at lunch, steadied to 5-209 by tea, before losing 5-64 to end their innings. Once Carey was out to Justin Greaves, playing a soft shot to mid-wicket, Australia were out within 14 overs. Two rain delays meant there were still up to 20 overs to bowl, but poor light brought about stumps when Nathan Lyon was the final wicket to fall. Webster said Australia were "pretty happy" with day one. "We would have loved to get 300-plus, a little bit to blame myself there batting with the tail, we could have stretched that out a little bit," the Tasmania allrounder told the broadcaster after play. "We've got a really good bowling attack that has bowled with lots of runs on the board, and they've bowled with not many before, so they've done it all. "Hopefully it gets a little bit tougher to bat on as the game goes on." Teenage opener Sam Konstas, and his opening partner Usman Khawaja, were rocked by Windies star Shamar Joseph in the first Test. But after making a positive start in Australia's first Test appearance at St George's, Khawaja and Konstas fell in the space of five balls. Khawaja, who earlier become the 16th Australian to pass 6000 Test runs, was trapped lbw by Alzarri Joseph and was given out on review for 16. Konstas soon followed for 25, marking another tough innings in his second stint in the Test team after scores of 3 and 5 in Barbados. Things took a turn for the worse when Smith (3) was caught at fine leg after attempting to take the attack to Joseph. The 36-year-old Smith only rejoined the squad last Sunday after dislocating his right little finger during last month's World Test Championship final loss at Lord's. But returning at No.4 to replace Josh Inglis, the loss of the Australian batting talisman so cheaply was another huge boost to the home team. Travis Head (29) did well to stop the rot as he tried to maintain the visitors' relatively quick scoring rate. But Australia were hit with another sucker punch in the last ball before lunch when Cameron Green (26) was out for the fifth-consecutive time behind the wicket since his return from injury.

Australia Vs West Indies Live Score, 1st Test Day 1: Follow Scorecard And Match Action From Bridgetown
Australia vs West Indies Live Cricket Score, 1st Test Day 1 (Australia National Cricket Team vs West Indies National Cricket Team): Windies haven't played Tests in the last five months and start the 2025-27 World Test Championship under a new skipper in Roston Chase after Kraigg Brathwaite stepped down, and that too against Pat Cummins' mighty Aussies. Australia's might has been challenged a bit over the past two weeks, after South Africa beat them convincingly to win the World Test Championship and ended their title defence. Can a Windies side, that has been at their lowest over the past few years, spring something magical against a Steve Smith-Marnus Labuschagne-less Australia, or will Cummins & Co. go about their business as usual? Stay tuned for all updates.
