West Indies were 248 for seven in their first innings when rain interrupted play for the third and final time half an hour after lunch on the second day of the third test against Australia last night.
Play was officially abandoned for the day with only 11.2 overs bowled.
Carlos Braithwaite gave the action-starved crowd at the Sydney Cricket Ground a brief burst of entertainment with a flurry of boundaries but the rain started falling again soon after he was dismissed for 69.
Braithwaite has been one of the few bright spots for West Indies on what has otherwise been a miserable tour and his 71-ball innings, which included seven fours and four sixes, gave him his second half century in his second test.
Denesh Ramdin will resume on 30 not out alongside Kemar Roach, who has yet to score, on day three.
