West Indies aim for a historic win!!!

The third test between Australia and West Indies is evenly poised. With Australia leading the series 1-0, West Indies have to win this to square the series. Australia would win the series even if it is a tamed draw. Australia batted well in their second innings scoring a mammoth 439 for 5 thanks to a brilliant innings from Simon Katich, who scored 158 and was well accompanied by his opening partner Jacques who also scored a century. Australia set a target of 475 which was almost ungettable. But the West Indies went about it in style. The openers Gayle and Marshall played positively. They were lucky but played bravely. Marshall scored 85 while Sarwan made 43. The West Indies are at 235 for 3 with Bravo and Chanderpaul at the crease. They require another 240 runs with 7 wickets in hand. It will be an interesting 5th days play.
