Day 3 – Session 3: Australia lead by 344 runs with 9 wickets remaining in the innings

A lot of disappointment in the Windies camp at the end of Day 3. They fought hard with the bat for almost two whole sessions. But when you come up against a strong side who are playing at home. Then just putting up a fight isn’t enough. The debutant, Tagenarine Chanderpaul and the captain and vice-captain performed well with the bat. But the others weren’t able to contribute much.
