AP, Hobart :Fast bowler James Pattinson took five wickets to lead Australia to a comprehensive innings and 212-run win over the West Indies in less than three days of the first test on Saturday.Australia declared its first innings on 583-4 led by man of the match Adam Voges’ unbeaten 269 runs and the West Indies were forced to follow-on earlier Saturday when they scored just 223-9 in their first innings – injured paceman Shannon Gabriel (left ankle) could not bat in either innings.The match ended before tea Saturday when the West Indies – led by Darren Bravos 108 in the first innings and Kraigg Brathwaite’s 94 in the second – were bowled out for 148.The West Indies lost 14 wickets in a session and a half Saturday, not helped by Gabriel’s inability to bat. He might be lost for the rest of the three-match series.Pattinson (5-27) took up where Josh Hazlewood left off in a West Indies first innings dominated by Bravo’s seventh test century. Pattinson’s haul included the second-innings wicket of Bravo for four, ensuring the West Indies batsman was dismissed twice in 37 minutes.It marked the fourth career five-wicket haul for Pattinson in his first test since March 2014.The West Indies resumed on 207-6 Saturday morning in their first innings before Hazlewood (4-45) cleaned up the tail.Resuming on 94, Bravo hit two boundaries off Peter Siddle in the first over Saturday to reach the century mark.Brathwaite tried vainly to notch a late century, hitting four boundaries in a row, before being bowled by Hazlewood to end the match.Australia’s first innings was dominated by a record fourth-wicket stand of 449 by Voges and Shaun Marsh (182).That eclipsed the previous fourth-wicket world record of 437 set by Sri Lanka’s Mahela Jayawardene and Thilan Samaraweera against Pakistan in Karachi in 2008.”To win in three days was very satisfying,” Australia captain Steve Smith said. “It was a magnificent performance by that pairing – the game was in the balance when they came in and for them to put those figures up was invaluable for us.”West Indies captain Jason Holder said the big loss wasn’t unfamiliar to him or the team.”It’s a situation we’ve been in for the past few months, the past few years, really,” Holder said. “We need to be more disciplined… to spend more time in the middle. Hopefully we can come back strong in the second test.The teams next meet in Melbourne beginning Dec. 26 and will play a third test in Sydney from Jan. 3.
