3-Match Test Series Schedule

    Dec 10-14     First test    Bellerive Oval, Hobart 
    Dec 26-30     Second test   Melbourne Cricket Ground  
    Jan 3-7       Third test    Sydney Cricket Ground

West Indies are battling to regain respect against Australia in the 
first of three Tests starting in Hobart on Thursday Dec 10,2015, but the odds are 
heavily stacked against the once-mighty Caribbeans.



They have won just four of their last 20 Tests and were humbled by 10 
wickets in their only warm-up game by a modest Cricket Australia XI. In 
contrast, third-ranked Australia are coming off a 2-0 home series win 
over New Zealand and spanked the Windies in two Tests earlier this year
