Snail Paced 1st Day at Queen's Park between Aussies and Windies

Australia and the West Indies shared the honours on a slow opening day in the second Test at Queen's Park Oval in Trinidad on Sunday.

When stumps were drawn, both teams retreated to the dressing room satisfied but not elated after a tough day in the Caribbean sun.

The Australians had 208 runs on the board but West Indies had five wickets. Last week's first test in Barbados was a thriller which Australia won by three wickets and already the second test looks like being another close encounter.

The revival of West Indies cricket has been slowly gathering momentum in the past two years and on Sunday it was their slow bowlers who did most of the damage.
