Lee, unable to break into the Test side this season, helped reduce the tourists to 192 all out after Australia A had made 243 for nine with Mike Hussey (70) and all rounder Cameron White (59) impressing. West Indies paceman Reon King took three for 61.

The touring side were without captain Brian Lara, who has returned to Melbourne to prepare for Monday's tsunami fundraising match after hitting a glorious 116 in the four-wicket win over Australia A on Saturday.

Chris Gayle (43) and Wavell Hinds (53) put on 59 for the first wicket and Ramnaresh Sarwan (35) and Marlon Samuels (31) also got starts for the tourists.

However, Hinds was adjudged lbw to James Hopes to make the score 115 for three in the 25th over, although the ball appeared to have pitched outside the left hander's leg stump.
