Australia begin their Ashes tune-up with a short trip to the Caribbean where they take on a West Indies side, who following their positive show against England last month (drawn 1-1), would like to believe they are on their way up in the Test circuit. Playing Australia in any format can be a daunting proposition, especially considering the kind of form Michael Clarke's men exhibited over the summer starting with the Test series win against India and culminating with a fifth World Cup triumph.West Indies have done an England in terms of selection issues overshadowing all else in the build up to a series. The exclusion of talisman Shivnarine Chanderpaul has divided opinion among the West Indian cricketing fraternity and the players will only be happier to get on the field to drown out the noise from the stands. They come into the series on the back of a famous win in Barbados against England and should carry good vibes going into the series.For Australia, who return to red-ball cricket for the first time since the New Year's Test in Sydney, it is about getting the process and the mindset right again. Barring Shaun Marsh's hundred and Josh Hazlewood's bowling performance, they were well off their pace in the only warm-up game against the Board President's XI in Antigua. But all that should change once the real game starts when the World Cup hangover can no longer serve as an excuse.

West Indies won the toss and elected to bat first. They handed a debut to Shane Dowrich, who scored twin fifties in the practice game, while Australia welcomed Adam Voges into the side.

West Indies needed to put up a good partnership, but yet again Australia managed to get a quick breakthrough. Josh Hazlewood cleaned up Shane Dowrich for 15 in the second over after lunch. The batsman looked to force a straightish delivery off the back foot but misjudged it, the ball hit the inside edge and ricocheted onto the stumps.

West Indies started well after opting to bat first but were not able to take advantage of good batting conditions. Brathwaite and Hope started in a positive manner, but the former could not hang on. Hope too fell later. The Australian bowlers were decent but have not troubled the hosts too much.

Samuels and Dowrich will have to stick and put up a good stand. If they keep losing wickets at regular intervals, it will be difficult for them to recover as now the pitch has started turning.

It did not take long for Josh Hazlewood to strike again and leave West Indies reeling at 87/5. It was a fantastic catch by Michael Clarke, who dived to his left from second slip and held onto it.

Samuels seems to be stuck at one end and is losing partners.

What are the hosts doing? This the third wicket to fall within the first 30 minutes after lunch. Samuels has thrown it away this time. He top-edged the hook shot and Hazlewood took a well judged catch running to his right from fine leg, just inside the ropes.

A mini 25-run stand between Holder and Ramdin came to a standstill as Mitchell Johnson ripped through the latter. Ramdin was undone by a shortish delivery as he misjudged the length and went onto the back foot to defend. The ball kept low and crashed into the off-stump.

Johnson continued to bowl ruthlessly and pinged the newcomer Jerome Taylor on the helmet with a nasty bouncer.

The Australian pacers, in a fantastic display of fast bowling, after lunch have completely destroyed the West Indies middle and lower order. Starc got his second wicket of the innings as he dismissed Holder for 21. He tempted the batsman into playing a drive but the ball took the outside edge and Marsh took a simple catch at gully.

Steven Smith, who celebrated his 26th birthday couple of days ago, joined the wicket-taking brigade and dismissed Jerome Taylor in his first over of the match. The batsman got a top-edge as he looked to pull and Voges took a brilliant catch running from short mid-wicket. He ran back, dived full length and grasped the ball with both hands.

West Indies have only themselves to blame for this shambolic collapse. It was only a matter of time before they were completely dismantled by the Australian pacers. Even better was the Australian catching, which set high standards.

It was Mitchell Johnson who took the final wicket by removing Shannon Gabriel, an easy catch at second slip. The hosts lost their last 7 wickets for 73 runs. And don't forget, all 7 wickets were lost in just one session - the post-lunch one.

Australia will look to come out confidently and build a good score.

The hosts got off to a terrific start with the ball as Jerome Taylor removed David Warner on 8 in the third over of the Australian innings. It was a ripper from the bowler - a shortish ball that kicked up from the surface. Warner was looking to glance it through the on-side but got a leading edge to backward point.

David Warner's early wicket did not deter Australia from their plans. Shaun Marsh along with Steven Smith steadied the Australian innings and were cautious in their approach. Shaun, especially, played some wonderful shots.

Holder continued to bowl beautifully from one end and the other end was expertly managed by Devendra Bishu. He got his first wicket of the day - the prized scalp of Michael Clarke. The skipper had hit a wonderful four and a six before perishing. He went for the cut but edged the ball instead and offered a simple catch to the keeper. It was Ramdin's 200th dismissal in Tests. He is the third West Indies wicketkeeper to have 200 dismissals to his name - after Dujon (272) and Jacobs (219).

After Marsh and Smith persisted for a while, the former was dismissed by Jason Holder on 19. Marsh looked to play a shortish delivery with an angled bat but ended up nicking it to the first slip. A mini 25-run stand between him and Smith was broken.

West Indies did well after being bowled out for a meagre 148, to rattle the Australian top-order. Jerome Taylor and Jason Holder bowled exceptionally well. They hit the right areas and used the pitch to their full advantage.

Although, Australia have lost three wickets, they bat deep and trailing only by 63 runs, are quite capable of still putting up a decent total in comparison to the hosts. We will see how much more they can add on.
