Media Centre End BC Lara 149* (255b 18x4 1x6) CA Walsh 0* (5b) Gillespie to bowl..... 120.1 Gillespie to Lara, FOUR, he's done it, what an unbelievable match. Flogs a cover drive to the boundary, what a win, what a game. West Indies team invades the field to hug Lara, the crowd follow them the winning ball was wide of the off stump, Lara just slammed it into the vacant cover outfield one of the best Test matches ever surely, topped off with one of the best comebacks ever... from 98/6 chasing 490 in the 1st innings but surely we're all agreed that ODIs are a better form of the game? No? presentations to start soon, followed by a couple of day of celebration for the West Indies, and a couple of days of recriminations for Australia no doubt we'll see a few changes for the 4th Test, a new opener here, a different bowler there, a new keeper perhaps, maybe even another vice-captain Steve Waugh being interviewed: "cricket is the winner... best Test I've ever played in.... It was just a great game.... they (WI) saved their best for this match" Lara gets a huge cheer "It was a great team effort... a great Test match... When Aust batted first I thought it was going to be a hard Test to win... We're a re looking forward to Antigua" and the Man of the Match is some unknown chap called Blain Laura or something And that's all from Bridgetown, it's time to take pills and get that heartrate down to a normal level... The Frank Worrell deciding Test is from Antigua starting 3 April at 1405 GMT An appropriate weekend for the deciding Test... We've already seen West Indies perform a couple of resurrections, now it's Australia's turn. Until then, it's goodbye from CricInfo.
