While Australia will retain their squad that won the first Test, West Indies are likely to make one change.

Going by current form, Adam Voges is the key player for the world champions.

Making his debut at the age of 35, Voges' unbeaten 130 was instrumental in helping his side win the first test.

On the other hand, West Indies will be seeking their first test win over Australia in 12 years.

Their hopes rest on leg spinner Devendra Bishoo who claimed his best test figures of six for 80 in the Australian first innings in the first Test.

Australian captain Michael Clarke said that he hopes his team would improve their performance from the first test. Speaking to reporters on the eve of the match Clarke said that the second test will be extremely tough.

"I thought they fought really hard especially on the third day in the first test match. We have to be at our best to beat them," he said.

He also said that winning away from home is very important

West Indies captain Dinesh Ramadin said that his team needs to show a lot more fight. "We did that in part in the first Test. Playing here in Sabina, we will get lot of support," he said.

He also said that the team needs to bat well in the first innings and putting up a good score.
