A big hundred for Ricky Ponting. The Windies struggle in the field with only Fidel Edwards consistently troubling the batsmen. With Jerome Taylor unable to play due to injury, the bowling makeup of only two fast bowlers in Daren Powell and Edwards shows its inability to take consistent wickets as the Aussies methodically build a big total. Medium pacers Dwayne Bravo and Darren Sammy as well as debutante offspinner Amit Jaggernauth round out the bowling options. Powell however struggled to be effective, putting more pressure on the other bowlers. Jaggernaut showed promise for his first Test even though he only got one wicket. That was a beauty of a catch that Parchment took to displace Ponting.
