The grounds at the Windsor Park on Monday morning<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Australia have won the toss here at the Windsor Park and have decided to take first knock here on a pitch that Curator Richard Letang says will offer \u201cbounce and pace.\u201d<\/p>\n

West Indies have left out Fidel Edwards and Assad Fudadin from the starting lineup.<\/p>\n

Ravi Rampaul will replace Edwards who has a \u201csore back\u201d and the \u2018home boy Shane Shillingford is in the lineup and will become the first ever Dominican to play test cricket before his home fans.<\/p>\n

For Australia, the man of the match in the crucial Barbados test, allrounder Ryan Harris, who was rested in the Trinidad Test is back, and spinner Michael Beer makes way for pacer Michell Starc.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s overcast here at the Windsor Park, the sun is out and the crowd is already building up for what is expected to be a fascinating third and final Test.<\/p>\n
