Australia wins by 46 runs
good win for Australia, mainly carried on the back of the
partnership of Lehmann and Bevan
bowling still wasn't up to scratch, too many wides and no balls
again, and the 3 pacemen proved expensive
the West Indies were let down by their top order, but that usually
happens in the face of a large target, and their bowling was
ultra-defensive when they would've been better served going for
wickets
presentations starting....
Lara: always a tough task chasing 288.... needed a good start in
our first 15... thought it would break up for the spinners later
on
Waugh: it was a good performance today... we thought anything over
250 was a good score... Darren Lehmann fantastic innings... great
venue, very good crowd... [not worried about his own form,
mentions his wicket]
Man of the match: adjudictor mentions Bevan, Lehmann, the
partnership, no WI bowling statistics worthy of mention, Campbell,
Adams, Simmons, Warne.... but no surprises with it being Lehmann,
goodness knows why we need the long speech
Lehmann: a very good oneday wicket... probably too flat for the
bowlers... [Waugh] doesn't think my bowling is too good
the next Limited Cricket match is from Trinidad, 17th April, with a
follow up match on the 18th
that's it. bye.
