Australia won the first test against the West Indies by 159 runs and is currently leading 1-0 in the three-match test series. The test match ended in just three days after heroics from Josh Hazlewood, with the Windies team losing all ten wickets on the final session of Day 3. Apart from Josh, Aussie batters played better than the Windies batters, with some crucial knocks in their second innings. Let us check out the top 3 batters from the West Indies vs Australia in the first Test.
Travis Head

As usual, the Australian middle-order batter Travis Head played a crucial knock in both the first and second innings. He scored 59 (78) and 61 (95), helping Australia post a commanding total. His partnership with Beau Webster caused a big headache for the Windies team as they looked to bowl out Australia for a very low score. The left-handed batter has been a crucial factor in Australia’s many overseas victories in recent times.

Webster made his debut at the Border-Gavaskar trophy, and since then, he has become a permanent member of the Australian team. He is a genuine all-rounder who can both bat and bowl. In the first test, he dominated the Windies bowlers, including Shamar Joseph and built a stable partnership with Travis Head. He continued with Alex Carey and posted a massive total in the second innings. The whole Aussie team will appreciate Webster’s contribution to their victory against the Windies team.
Alex Carey

The wicket-keeper batter has been part of their test team for many years. Over the years, Alex Carey has played some blitz innings by rescuing the team out of trouble. This time, he rescued them after their top order collapsed against the magic of Shamar Joseph. His counterattack and the Quick Fire 65 (75) were crucial for Australia in winning the first test. Carey will be a key player for Australia in this three-match test series against the West Indies.
