What do we have for you today? Welllllll, maybe not much, if we’re completely honest. West Indies will resume the third innings of the match still 22 runs behind, and with four wickets in hand. So they could yet be bowled out to lose by an innings.

If they can knock off those 22 runs then they will at least ensure that there is a fourth innings, and make Australia bat again. But it’s a distant hope to think that they can build enough of a lead to test out Australia. If they somehow can, it will be a great spectacle.

Joshua da Silva, the wicketkeeper who is a decent hand with the bat, will resume on 17. Alzarri Joseph is carded to join him, after a wicket fell in the final over last night. Nathan Lyon will have one ball remaining from that over.

preamble
Good morning from Adelaide. It's morning here. It's shaping up to be a warmer day than the past few days, with bright sunlight already covering the ground just after 9 a.m. local time. A group of cameramen were out by the pitch, several TV presenters, several Cricket Australia jerseys, and one of the grounds staff watching the bowler with a large metal plate on a pole, which has various names around the world. belt with footprints. .
What do we have today? Well, to be honest, maybe not that much. West Indies still trail by 22 runs and resume the game in the bottom of the third innings with four wickets in hand. So they can still get bowled out and lose in one inning.
If they can get those 22 runs, they will secure at least four innings and give Australia another chance to bat. However, it is a distant hope to think they can build up a sufficient lead to test Australia. If we could do that, it would be a great sight.
Wicketkeeper Joshua da Silva, who is good with the bat, is scheduled to resume play on the 17th. Alzarri Joseph has been carded to join him after wickets fell in last night's final. Nathan Ryan has one ball left on him from that over.
