Subject:      West Indies vs Australia (4T1D - Adelaide, Australia, Jan 23)

   Merv Hughes took a brilliant five wickets for 64 to give Australia
the advantage on the first day of the fourth Test against West Indies
on Saturday.  On a lively wicket, West Indies were dismissed for 252,
with Brian Lara again top scoring with 52 to follow his magnificent
277 in Sydney three weeks ago.

   By stumps, the West Indies had already begun a determined
fightback. Mark Taylor was out for one -- caught by Carl Hooper off
Ian Bishop's fiery fast bowling -- as the tourists gave the Aussies
ominous signs of what they can expect from their four-pronged
pace-attack on Sunday.  Australia lead the five-match series 1-0, but
a result for either team looks a near certainty here.  Test newcomer
Justin Langer, who came in at number three to join opener David Boon,
survived a furious spell of short-pitched bowling in which he appeared
to be hit hard on the helmet just before Australia appealed
successfully against the light.

   For West Indies, only openers Phil Simmons, with 46, and Desmond
Haynes (45) and wicket-keeper Junior Murray who made 49 not out
finished with respectable figures.  It was a day of see-sawing
fortunes, which saw the West Indies dominate most of the morning
session before a collapse of wickets which started on lunch.

   The tourists had threatened a huge first innings total as their
openers shared a partnership of 84 before Australia started to take
advantage of a grassy wicket, dismissing Phil Simmons for 45.  Then,
from a relatively solid start from which they went to lunch on 100 for
the loss of Simmons and captain Richie Richardson, the tourists
slumped dismally to 134 for five an hour after lunch.
