SYDNEY, Australia (AP) --
AUSTRALIAN paceman Glenn McGrath bowled Wavell Hinds on the stroke of stumps yesterday to break another threatening West Indies' opening stand in the fifth Test.
Hinds and vice-captain Sherwin Campbell started the West Indies' second innings the same way they did the first, by frustrating the Australian bowling attack at the Sydney Cricket Ground.
The opening pair put on 147 in the first innings -- a West Indian record for a first-wicket partnership in Australia -- and had reached 98 when McGrath bowled Hinds for 46 on what became the final ball of the third day.
Campbell, who scored 79 in the first innings, was the aggressor, hitting eight boundaries off 114 balls and remaining not out 45.
Australia, bowled out for 452 earlier yesterday in reply to the West Indies' first innings of 272, hold an 82-run lead with two full days of the series finale remaining.
Inspired by a Steve Waugh century plus Michael Slater's 96 and Adam Gilchrist's 87, the Australians had a 180-run lead on the first innings and 137 minutes to attack the embattled West Indian batting lineup.
But Campbell and Hinds saw off the new ball with a gritty partnership.
Earlier, skipper Waugh notched his 24th Test century and his second in successive Tests as Australia went to lunch at 374 for seven after resuming at 284-4.
Waugh, who blazed nine boundaries and a six to reach his sixth century against the West Indies, was bowled for 103 about 10 minutes before the interval.
He lunged forward at a sharply turning delivery from West Indian leg-spinner Mahendra Nagamootoo and deflected the ball onto the stumps off his front pad.
Nagamootoo struck again with the last ball before lunch to have No. 7 Gillespie caught by Hinds at silly mid-on.
The rookie spinner, who had figures of 1-77 off 22 overs overnight, snared two wickets and conceded a further 42 runs yesterday to headline the West Indies bowling attack.
Waugh shared a 71-run partnership with Gilchrist, who was lucky just to get off the mark after West Indies' skipper Jimmy Adams put down a routine catch.
Gilchrist edged the first delivery he faced off Colin Stuart into the gully but ran through for a single when Adams dropped the catch.
The error came much to the annoyance of Stuart, who'd dismissed Ricky Ponting with his previous ball to break the 132-run fifth-wicket partnership between Steve Waugh and Ponting.
Ponting had failed to add to his overnight score of 51 when he was adjudged leg before wicket with the total at 289.
Stuart got some revenge later when Gilchrist got an edge to first slip and Brian Lara completed the catch to make the Australian total 408 for eight.
Stuart MacGill (1) was run out with the addition of two to Australia's total, leaving Colin Miller and No. 11 Glenn McGrath together for a tailend revival.
Miller smashed 37 runs, including two sixes, while McGrath contributed 13 runs in the 42-run last wicket stand.
Steve Waugh's century elevated him to equal fifth on the all-time list of century scorers in Test cricket.
He joined former Australian skipper Greg Chappell, former West Indies skipper Viv Richards and former Indian captain Sachin Tendulkar -- all on 24.
Indian Sunil Gavaskar tops the list with 34 Test centuries, followed by Australian great Sir Donald Bradman with 29, former Australian skipper Allan Border on 27 and West Indian legend Sir Garfield Sobers on 26.
TEST UPDATE
THE West Indies were on the brink of a 5-0 whitewash at lunch on the fourth day of the fifth and final Test.

At the break the not out batsmen were Ramnaresh Sarwan 27 and Ridley Jacobs 22.
