Yes, it's the match you've been waiting for, our first test match since our thrashing of Bangladesh. Could we maintain the test form against a stronger West Indian team?
West Indies V World A Team Kensington Oval, Barbados WORLD A TEAM WON THE TOSS AND ELECTED TO BOWL FIRST
So, we're bowling first, let's try and get these West Indians out cheaply, and then go on to another famous test victory!
West Indies First Innings 239 all out
Great performance by the bowlers, admittedly on an unusually poor pitch. Getting Lara out relatively cheaply and gaining a couple of ducks really gave us the edge in that innings! The fast bowlers were supreme and ruled the innings from the offset. Ketz also picked up a couple in his come-back match!

We picked up a healthy lead there with some strong batting performances all round - Rhys and Quagmire with a large opening partnership, with Rhys converting that into an individual century. A strong performance from the lower order boosted us up to the 100+ lead.
