The ultimate star on day two of the ongoing tour match between the West Indies team and Australia’s Prime Minister’s X1, was Tagenarine Chanderpaul.
The left-handed opening batsman, son of Shivnarine Chanderpaul, showed great resolve and class to score his sixth first-class century.
He was the last man out, towards the end of the day’s play, having struck 13 fours and 1 six.
The day resumed with the Prime Minister’s X1 being eventually bowled out for 322.
The West Indies got off to a good start, with a 94-run partnership between Skipper Brathwaite and Chanderpaul.
However, once Brathwaite went, the Windies’ batting took a nose dive.
Chanderpaul was the mainstay of the innings thereafter.
West Indies ended the day with three wickets remaining and trailing by 88 runs
