Combined NSW and ACT XI 259 for 2 trail West Indians 424 for 9 dec (Thomas 77*, Brathwaite 75, Brooks 56, Holder 50ret) by 165 runs

West Indies were given a wake-up call on the bowling front after being dominated by a NSW/ACT XI on day two of the tour match in Canberra.

West Indies quick Kemar Roach was economical with figures of 0 for 20 from 10 overs. But 21-year-old right-armer Jayden Seales (0-47 off 10 overs), Alzarri Joseph (0-40 off 10 overs) and spinner Roston Chase (0-50 off 10 overs) were among the bowlers who struggled for impact.

On Thursday, openers Brathwaite and Shamarh Brooks made half-centuries to put on a 133-run partnership.

This match is one of two tour games West Indies have before their series against the Pat Cummins-led Australians gets underway in Perth on November 30.

A far different squad to their white-ball team, Windies players will still be determined to make amends for their embarrassing failure to qualify for the group stage at the recent T20 World Cup.
