The first test between Australia and West Indies turned out to be an easy win for the hosts. They dominated the visitors in both departments of the game and took a 1-0 unassailable lead in the series. The second game between the two teams will start on January 25 at the Gabba in Brisbane.
After a win in the first game, Australia will be eyeing a clean sweep, which looks pretty possible with the way they are performing at the moment. Meanwhile, West Indies struggled in the first game, and they need something really special to turn things around in the second match.

AUS vs WI: Pitch Report
The pitch in Brisbane is good for batting. However, the characteristics of the pitch changs after the first two days of the test. Pacers will be getting more help there because of the uneven bounce. So it is expected to be another game that is likely to end in three days or so.
