Australia hold on for a draw
Australia held on to claim a battling draw against West Indies in the second Test in Adelaide.
The visitors had Ricky Ponting's side on the back foot but were unable to press home their advantage as Australia, chasing 330 for an unlikely win, reached 212 for five when stumps were drawn.
Dwayne Bravo led the Windies' victory charge, the all-rounder taking three for 37.
The hosts lost two quick wickets after tea and from that point were under siege, with Windies captain Chris Gayle - who finished unbeaten on 165 in their second innings - surrounding the batsmen with close-in fielders while the side's medium pacers were in action.
But Michael Clarke (61 not out) and Brad Haddin (20no) shared in an anxious but unbeaten 73-run partnership and importantly occupied the crease for 85 minutes to guide Australia to safety.
Bravo was the tourists' best bowler, while Ravi Rampaul and Darren Sammy took a wicket each.
First-innings destroyers Sulieman Benn and Kemar Roach could not repeat those efforts when the team needed them.
Australia retain the Frank Worrell Trophy but the West Indies earned plenty of respect over the past five days and will head to the WACA in Perth with a belief they can level the series.
