Bridgetown: West Indies coach and former international cricketer Daren Sammy has been fined 15 per cent of his match fee by the International Cricket Council after slamming the performance of match officials during his side’s loss to Australia in the opening Test.

BRIDGETOWN, Barbados — Australia blew away the West Indies for 141 and won the first test by 159 runs at Kensington Oval on day three Friday. The West Indies was set a stressful 301 target to win on a tricky pitch and folded in 33.4 overs. The chief destroyer was seamer Josh Hazlewood with 5-43 from 12 overs.

Australia ruthlessly completed a 159-run victory over West Indies in the first test on Friday as Nathan Lyon swept up the tail after Josh Hazlewood's five-wicket masterclass broke the hosts' resistance on a pitch that deteriorated into a bowler's paradise.
