West Indies vs Australia: Tourists win second Test by 133 runs in Grenada to guarantee series victory | Cricket News
Australia ended the victory of the series against the Antilles – with a match to lose – after winning a 133 -point victory in the second pomegranate test.
Visitors resumed the fourth day on the 221-7 and leading by 254 points, only for a promising morning of the Antilles by seeing Shamar Joseph ending a transport with four gates and helping to reject Australia for 243.
The Antilles were set a winning goal of 277 but quickly dropped to 33-4 on a deteriorated window, with Michell Starc (3-24), Nathan Lyon (3-42) and Josh Hazlewood (2-33) all taking counters for Australia.

Captain Roston Chase was scored for the Antilles in the second round with 34, but Australia rejected the hosts for 143 in 34.3 overs to take an insurmountable 2-0 advance in the three test series.
“We have never really obtained these partnerships,” said Skipper Chase. “The new ball was the biggest challenge – we have lost too many counters. If we could avoid a few counters in the first 10 to 15 Overs, we would have a better chance.
“Two hundred and seventy have always been a difficult task.”
How Australia ended the victory of the series against the Antilles
Hazlewood struck his fifth delivery, trapping John Campbell LBW for a duck, while Starc withdrew Keacy Carty for 10 so that visitors have an ideal start.
Beautiful Webster dismissed Kraigg Brathwaite for seven in his 100th test, before Cummins beats Brandon King (14) with a delivery which straightened just enough to cut the sting.
The dismissal of Shai Hope for 17 – captured and upset by Hazlewood trying a traction – put the Antilles in deeper difficulty, although Chase made a 34 spirits which included a magnificent six of Starc.

The dismissal of Chase on the lunch blow effectively put an end to all the realistic hopes of a recovery of the Antilles, although Alzarri Joseph struck the six against Nathan Lyon and Shamar Joseph struck three maximum in his 24 before the couple were both rejected.
“We had to graft our way in both games,” said Cummins. “I am quite proud. The new ball was quite delicate for the two teams. The terrain deteriorated a little, so it became a little simpler for our plans. We hit the ball of good zones after the ball, and we waited for the game to happen.”
The third and last test match of the series begins in Kingston, Jamaica, before a T20I series of five games begins at the same place on July 20.
