West Indies are in trouble as the team goes in search of 370 for victory on the final day on a turning Windsor Park wicket Friday.
Thursday ended with the West Indies on a 173 for 5.
Chanderpaul was the last to go via the DRA, LBW to Clarke for 69.
After dismissing the visitors for 259 to secure a healthy lead of 110, the home team started badly, losing Barath for duck and then Brathwaite and Powell, to Clarke. Brathwaite may consider himself unlucky to have been given out LBW.
However a stand of 110 between Chanderpaul, who in the process went past 10,0000 runs, and Bravo (45) who batted positively and with urgency has helped put the home team in a good position.
The pair came together with the home side in deep trouble on 45/3 after Powell was bowled by Clarke trying to cut a delivery that was too close to his body. Mixing aggression with defense, they saw the Windies past the 100 and 150 mark and in the process posted 100 partnership from 195 balls.
Chanderpaul also reached his second 50 of the innings, from 90 balls in 116 minutes. After the two had added 110, Bravo fell five short of what would have been a well deserved 50, chasing a wide ball outside the off stump from Watson and was brilliantly caught by wicket keeper Wade diving full length.
The score was then 154 for 4 and “the Tiger” marched on, in the next over driving Lyon elegantly through the covers for 4. However, in the first ball of the last over of the day, he was adjudged LBW by the referral umpire after being struck in front by a ball from Clarke.
With Baugh yet to face and Deonarine (11) at the crease, it should be an interesting battle between “bat and ball” when play resumes on Friday as the home team attempts to go in search of a further 177 for victory to level the series.
On the other hand, the Aussies need a further five wickets to go two up in the series and leave Caribbean soil on a high note.
A victory for the Caribbean lads would do them well as they prepare to leave for England on Wednesday to take on the number one team.
That must be the 10.00 and 5.00 day. look people. wow
Amazing work, Shane!!! You make Dominica very very proud…you and Mr. Sammy.
Sorry I meant sexy sisters.
At least even if we lose we had good support from the sex sisters. That was my favourite part of the cricket. I love being a sista spectator.

DNO this picture is breath taking – the curve on this sisters wearing the white pants Wow!!!!. I hope the West Indies bats men were not distracted by this beautiful sister with such an attractive body. Lord forgive me for I have sinned.
The thumbs down must be coming form either a woman who is a hater and jealous of the compliments I gave the sister or a gay dude who cannot appreciate the attractiveness of the curvy sister. Sister is in the white pants – you look yabadaba delicious.
