| It all started with a fantastic decision to declare with less than 500 on board but Ponting had enough faith in his speedsters to take the attack to the Windies rightaway. The top order fumbled and fifties from Dowlin and Ramdin were never anywhere close enough to pull things back for the Windies, as a result of which, the Aussies went on to enforce the follow-on |

| This has been a resounding win for the Australians who are desperately trying to get their Number One spot in Test cricket back. They have already become Number One in the ODIs and now it's the longer format they are targetting. And they are doing so with a lot of intent and planning. The Aussies have started off in a clinical manner here and if there are signs to go by, Australia will make a lot of hay when the sun shines during this summer. |
