Hazlewood stars in drawn match

For the second innings in a row, Josh Hazlewood has starred with the new ball in Australia's tour match in Antigua.

The tall fast bowler provided the highlight of an otherwise pedestrian final day at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium, claiming three wickets in a four-over spell as the three-day match ended in a tame draw.

When play was called off the WICB President's XI were 4-161, a lead of 293 in the second innings.

Hazlewood, who claimed two wickets in a bright opening spell on day one, was at it again on Friday.

The 24-year-old bowled four overs after lunch, removing opener Rajindra Chandrika, captain Leon Johnson and Sharmarh Brooks all for ducks.

Peter Siddle bowled Windies Test hopeful Tyron Theophile for 29 to leave the hosts' reeling at 4-41 but that was as close as the game got to a result.

A century stand between Roston Chase (55no) and Shane Dowrich (53no) took any fight out of the contest.

Both Fawad Ahmed and Nathan Lyon went wicketless in the second innings.

The game's latter stages also included plenty of rare sights.

Australia's alternative bowling unit?

Chris Rogers bowled a solitary maiden over of medium pace before the tea interval while Mitch Marsh showed his versatility in the final session with a brief spell of leg spin.

His brother Shaun, who didn't add to his overnight score of 118 in the morning, also had a rare bowl before the game was called off.

Australia used the dying embers of the match to give Steve Smith a stint on the field with Brad Haddin taking a break and Peter Nevill going behind the stumps.

The tourists depart for Dominica on Saturday with the first Test to start at Windsor Park in Roseau on Wednesday.
