West Indies bowled out for 330 on day 5 of 3rd test at SCG
SYDNEY (AP) West Indies was bowled out for 330 in its first innings just before lunch on day five of the third test after play finally resumed under bright, blue skies Thursday at the Sydney Cricket Ground.
After a delay of 45 minutes as the pitch was uncovered for the first time in three days, the lower-order batsmen defied Australia's attack for an hour and a half as the West Indies recorded its highest innings total of the series.
Denesh Ramdin was the third West Indian batsman to pass a half-century, before swiping at a wide ball by Steve O'Keefe and being caught by Steve Smith at slip for 62.
Nathan Lyon dismissed Kemar Roach (15) and O'Keefe dismissed Jerome Taylor for 13 to end the innings.
O'Keefe finished with 3-63 in his first test in Australia.
West indies captain Jason Holder declined the opportunity to declare before play, meaning the match will likely drift toward a draw in front of the few thousand fans who took advantage of free entry to the SCG.
Persistent rain had washed out play from tea on day two, marking only the fifth occasion in more than a century of test cricket in Australia where play was abandoned for two consecutive days because of rain.
The Australians had to toil hard for the breakthough which finally arrived in the 16th over of the day when O'Keefe teased Ramdin into attempting a big shot only to be caught at slip by Smith, ending a 151-ball innings that began shortly after tea on day one.
Three balls later, Lyon had Roach pop up an easy catch off his pad to Joe Burns at short leg.
O'Keefe rounded out the innings when Taylor sliced a cut shot to Lyon at point.
Both teams wore black armbands in memory of Baljit Chandrika, father of West Indies batsman Rajendra Chandrika, who passed away overnight. Opening batsman Chandrika featured in the first two tests of the series, before sustaining a groin injury in the warm up for the third test.
