Sam Konstas out for five after being dropped twice

Bridgetown: Another poor batting display from Australia’s inexperienced top order has put the tourists in the firing line for a potential shock defeat in the side’s opening Test against the West Indies in Barbados.

On a day when the West Indies were bowled out for 190 in response to Australia’s first innings total of 180, Usman Khawaja was dismissed for 15 and his opening partner Sam Konstas removed for five on a dramatic afternoon at Kensington Oval.

First drop Cam Green (15) and No.4 Josh Inglis (12) failed to impress once again Australia finished day two on 4-92, leading by 82 runs.

In the first match of a new World Test Championship cycle, Australia have been underwhelming to say the least and will now have to rally on day three to save the match against a valiant West Indies outfit who’ve won just three of their past 15 Tests.
