People got what they expected! A dismal performance from West Indies Down Under, leading to their downfall within 3 days! The Hobart test was nothing more than a bashing episode for the West Indians, who did not look focused even for one session in the game. First, it was their bowling which allowed Australia to simply run away with the game. Then it was time for something much worse as their batting collapsed like nine pins. The visitors were bowled out twice in less than 4 sessions, leading to their loss by an innings and 212 runs.
Twitter reacted to this one sided encounter, and below are some of the tweets.

Great try young Craig Braithwaite deserved a 100 but use the innings to go on for greater things for the rest of the series. #AUSvWI #fight

Replace the ‘tests’ & with proper Shield games – imagine the innuendo if this sad mob had come from the subcontinent what? #AusvWI
