BRISBANE: West Indies skipper Kraigg Brathwaite won the toss and decided to bat first against Australia in the 2nd Test at the Gabba in Brisbane on Thursday. Australia won the 1st Test by ten wickets in Adelaide last week. Australia will field an unchanged team for the match despite Travis Head and Cameron Green testing positive for Covid-19 in the lead-up to the clash.
