| Match Date: 11-15 June 2015 Venue: Sabina Park, Kingston, Jamaica Time: 15:00 GMT (20:30 IST) Weather: Temperature ranging between 27 and 32 degree Celsius. Thunderstorms predicted in patches. Team News: Australia: Chris Rogers is yet to recover from the concussion he suffered from a blow to his head during a practice session ahead of the first Test. This means that Shaun Marsh will get another opportunity to prove his prowess as an opener. The pitch, which was greenish in nature, might influence Australia to persist with three pace bowlers, which means that Fawad Ahmed is likely to remain on the sidelines again. Probable XI: David Warner, Shaun Marsh, Steven Smith, Michael Clarke (c), Adam Voges, Shane Watson, Brad Haddin (wk), Mitchell Johnson, Mitchell Starc, Nathan Lyon, Josh Hazlewood. West Indies: On a slow wicket at Windsor Park, the West Indies pacers hardly troubled the Australian batsmen. They will prefer the Sabina Park surface, which will have some assistance for the quicker bowlers. As far as the team is concerned, West Indies are likely to persist with the same eleven, although coach Phil Simmons preferred to reserve his judgement on the eve of the game. Probable XI: Kraigg Brathwaite, Shai Hope, Darren Bravo, Shane Dowrich, Marlon Samuels, Jermaine Blackwood, Denesh Ramdin (c & wk), Jason Holder, Jerome Taylor, Devendra Bishoo, Shannon Gabriel. Quotes: 'We need to bat properly in the first innings, I think the first innings sets up everything and if we get to 350-400 first up, we have seen that our bowlers can put people under pressure.' - Phil Simmons, West Indies coach 'Worryingly, it's the 20th time in 46 innings that Australia have lost five or more wickets for less than 150 runs. That was a disappointing output ... we need our top six making runs.' - Darren Lehmann, Australia coach | |||||
