AUS vs WI  Probable Top Performers

Probable Best Batter

Steve Smith

The modern-day don was back to his absolute best in the first Test. He rolled back the clock and scored a well-made double-hundred in the first innings. With him leading the side in the absence of Pat Cummins in the 2nd Test, expect him to thrive on that responsibility.

Probable Best Bowler

Nathon Lyon

Lyon dismantled the Windies batting unit in the 2nd innings of the 1st test. He picked up 6 wickets in that innings and was unplayable. With the 2nd Test going to be held in Adelaide, which is more spin-friendly than Perth, expect him to pick up a truckload of wickets.
