Australia drew first blood in Bridgetown, Barbados, beating the West Indies by three wickets in a thrilling finish to the first Test. Ben Hilfenhaus hit the final run with the light fading fast to give the tourists victory after the hosts had fought back to keep the game in the balance yesterday. A half-century from Shane Watson and a rapid 32 from Mike Hussey were the key contributions as the visitors got home in the gloom.
