West Indies have struggled when it comes to the longest format of cricket. They lack experience and consistency and they have also failed to perform on the foreign pitches.
Aussies have a clear advantage as they have the most experienced and talented players from the red-ball format in the team and they carry the home advantage. We predict a win for Australia in the first Test.
