Play was interrupted by rain on three occasions on Day 2 and umpires had to call for an early tea with play eventually resuming after the tea break. Play was also interrupted by rain on Day 3 with umpires calling for an early lunch and play finally resumed after the lunch break.
The 449-run partnership between Adam Voges and Shaun Marsh is the highest 4th wicket partnership in Test cricket history. It is the second-highest partnership in Tests for Australia and is also the highest partnership in Tests against the West Indies. It is the highest partnership in Tests played in Australia and is also the sixth-highest partnership ever in the history of Test Cricket.[10][11]
Rain stopped play at 13:46 on Day 1 and delayed play for an hour and a half before tea was taken. Play eventually resumed at 16:00. Play was again delayed by rain from 16:50 to 17:35.
Rain delayed the start of play on Day 2 by 39 minutes. Rain again delayed play from 10:41 to 12:00. Play was then delayed by rain at 12:15 and lunch was taken. Play resumed after lunch until rain once again stopped play at 13:42 and no play was possible for the rest of the day.
No play was possible on Days 3 and 4 due to rain. This was the first time since Pakistan's tour in 1989–90 that two consecutive days were washed out in a Test in Australia.[14]
The start of play on Day 5 was delayed by an hour and 45 minutes due to rain. Rain further delayed play at 15:30 and tea was taken.
Nathan Lyon became the fifth Australian spin bowler to take 100 Test wickets in Australia.[15]
David Warner scored the fastest Test century at this ground.[16]
