West Indies v Australia

Australia won by 1 run

ODI no. 2734 | 2008 season
Played at Warner Park, Basseterre, St Kitts
4 July 2008 (50-over match)


Australia innings (50 overs maximum)		R	M	B	4s	6s	SR
SE Marsh	c †Ramdin b Powell	16	60	34	2	0	47.05
11.4 Powell and Ramdin combo are at it again. It landed on the leg stump line, on a length and Marsh tried to play it through the on side but the ball cut across him and clipped the outer edge 56/2
SR Watson	c †Ramdin b Powell	20	38	22	4	0	90.90
7.5 First the bouncer, then the really full one and now the length delivery cutting in from outside off. Watson shapes to drive on the up and it runs off the inner edge to left of Ramdin 41/1
MEK Hussey	c Bravo b Sammy	37	84	46	4	0	80.43
23.6 the slog doesn't work this time. He cleared the front foot and swung a full delivery straight to deep midwicket. 116/3
MJ Clarke*	lbw b Miller	36	77	51	3	0	70.58
28.5 another big shout for lbw and Asad Rauf lifts his finger after some delay. Another sweep that Clarke didn't connect but he was struck marginally outside the off stump. In the previous over, he survived a shout when he was hit on the off stump line and this time is unlucky to be given out. 129/4
A Symonds	c Bravo b Edwards	87	94	78	10	2	111.53
46.1 steps down the track, clears the front foot in an effort to the get the bat swing going but Edwards fires it short of length and on the off stump. Symonds tries to flat-bat it over the off side but couldn't clear the fielder at mid-off. Super entertaining innings comes to an end. 256/5
DJ Hussey	c sub (KAJ Roach) b Gayle	50	89	51	1	2	98.03
47.4 The low full toss does the trick. David skipped down the track and swung a dipping delivery to the substitute fielder at deepmidwicket 266/7
JR Hopes	c Sarwan b Edwards	0	2	1	0	0	0.00
46.2 Short delivery, Hopes tries to whip pull it but top edges a dolly to midwicket. 256/6
L Ronchi†	c Marshall b Bravo	12	19	9	1	0	133.33
49.3 full in length, swung straight to long-off. The average first-innings score on this ground is 284 279/8
B Lee	not out	7	15	9	0	0	77.77

West Indies innings (target: 283 runs from 50 overs)		R	M	B	4s	6s	SR
CH Gayle*	c Hopes b Watson	92	173	92	6	4	100.00
33.4 Australia break through. Watto strikes. Hopes takes a very good catch. Gayle's fine innings comes to an end. He wanted to swing a full delivery to the leg side but ended up slicing it high in the air towards cover point. It came down swirling in the air, Hopes moved to his side, managed to fix his eye on the ball and hung on to it. Big blow. Enter Bravo. 188/3
XM Marshall	lbw b Lee	0	2	2	0	0	0.00
0.3 Plumb. Lee didn't even appeal initially as he ran on straight before turning to query Bucknor. Full, fast, tailing into middle and leg and the tentative Xavier is caught on the shuffle. Gone. 1/1
RR Sarwan	c †Ronchi b Lee	63	117	79	6	1	79.74
23.4 Lee takes out Sarwan. It kicked up from short of length and came in from outside off, Sarwan wanted to punch it square off the back foot, the bat went outside the line and he feathered a inner edge. Enter Chanders. 138/2
S Chanderpaul	b Bracken	53	132	71	4	0	74.64
48.6 The death rattle. Chanderpaul goes down on his knee and tries to swing the slow off cutter, misses and the off stump is pegged back. Bracken roars. The crowd sigh. Darren Sammy walks out to join Ramdin. Game is on the knife edge. 275/6
DJ Bravo	b Hopes	31	47	32	2	1	96.87
42.6 Clatter. The off cutter, full in length, shaping in towards the middle and off, Bravo plays all around it. Yet another twist. Australia continue to hustle. West Indies fight on. 36 from 42 and this dead-rubber is alive and kicking. 247/4
SE Findlay	c MEK Hussey b Lee	9	22	14	0	1	64.28
47.2 What a stunner from Michael Hussey at midwicket. The game swings around once more. Findlay tries to force a full length delivery and it flies off the inner half well to the left of Hussey who dives full stretch with his left arm outstretched and some how manages to pluck the ball. Awesome. 271/5
