Stand-in Australian captain Steve Smith will look to complete a 2-0 Test series whitewash when the home side take on West Indies in the second Day/Night Test starting at the Adelaide Oval on Thursday (December 8). Australian thrashed the Windies by 164 runs in the first Test at Perth thanks to double centuries by Smith and Marnus Labuschagne.
