Steve Waugh hit an unbeaten 82 as Australia dominated the second day of the final cricket test in Sydney today, ending on 284-4 in reply to the West Indies 272 all out.
After sharing the honours on the first day Waugh's men relentlessly tightened their grip on the match.
Following on from his magnificent century in last week's crushing fourth test victory in Melbourne the unflappable Waugh teamed up with Ricky Ponting (51 not out) as the pair shared an unbroken partnership of 127.
The tourists had added 16 runs to their overnight total of 256-9 before Colin Miller mopped up the last wicket.
With a world record sequence of 14 test wins on the trot the Australians wasted little time chasing a 15th success on a good batting strip when they took their turn at the crease. Reuters
