00:03Hello and welcome to the DLF Cup. This is Australia versus the West Indies. These pictures coming to you live
00:10from the Kinrara Academy Oval here in Kuala Lumpur.
00:14In the middle with the two captains Brian Lara and Ricky Ponting as well as the match referee Chris Broad.
00:20Brian Lara's got the coin.
00:22Heads.
00:23Heads is the call from Ricky Ponting and it's going to stop in a minute and Chris Broad will see.
00:28It is ahead.
00:29It is ahead. So Ricky Ponting has won the toss. Ricky what are you going to do?
00:33We're going to have a bat first up today. The wicket looks, there's a little bit of grass on it.
00:36It's nice and hard underneath and with the humidity around and the lights coming on tonight we feel it might
00:40do a little bit more in the evening.
00:42You've got to do you think there will be anything first up here for the bowlers?
00:44Yeah most definitely. It's a fresh pitch and I suppose there will be something for the fast bowlers but as
00:48Ricky said maybe as the light carries on in the evening it could do a little bit for the fast
00:53bowlers as well.
00:53But we have the opportunity to bowl first and we'll see what there is for us.
00:56And that's the Australian line up. Katich and Jake's opening the batting and Ricky Ponting in his normal number three
01:03position.
01:04Clark up the order a bit. Cosgrove he'll be trying to take or make the most of this opportunity. Watson
01:09Haddon coming in for Gilchrist.
01:12Cullen he's going to be very closely watched. And then Bracken Johnson also a new boy in the side.
01:17And Glenn McGraw. Great to see him back.
01:21And I've got Ian Bishop in the commentary box with me. There's the West Indian team.
01:25Well from the bowling point of view they've got two guys with a great deal of pace.
01:29Jerome Taylor can touch 90 miles per hour. Fidel Edwards will swing the ball out if he's recovered his pace
01:34and recovered his fitness.
01:35He can also touch 90 miles per hour. Ian Bradshaw very consistent.
01:38And then though guys haven't been playing international level for a while. Dwayne Bravo has been playing for Kent in
01:44the UK.
01:45And then the batting takes care of itself. Lots of experience. Heinz, Sarwan, Lara and Chand Nepal.
01:50The exciting Dwayne Smith in the middle. Could be one to watch.
01:55A side that's got Brian Lara in the line up. And Sarwan playing pretty well. And one or two others
02:00that are very capable as well.
02:01It can always make it difficult for the champion side. So there he is. And those are his figures so
02:07far.
02:08Scrolling left arm over. Average of 37. A strike rate of 70. So an acceptable strike rate. No doubt about
02:15that.
02:1642 matches under his belt already. And that 107 he's best so far. And as I said.
02:24Phil Jake's only three matches. Only just arrived. But he's got off to a good start. Get off to an
02:30average of 47.
02:31Saving one.
02:37Oh and that would have been out by Miles. Well a direct hit there would have got the West Indians
02:42off to a great start.
02:44Getting the next over started.
02:47Oh he's bowled him. Clean bowled him. That's beautifully bowled. Relatively well pitched up.
02:53And a magnificent celebration there. That's what fast bowlers like to see. They like to see the stumps all over
02:59the place.
03:00It's a full length. And he seemed to be a bit late on it here. Came back. Came back in
03:04the air and off the scene.
03:07And on a full length. Nice and full and straight. And the typical celebration. Fingers waving in front of the
03:13eyes from Edwards.
03:14It's one for nine.
03:17Well Ricky Ponting. The captain of Australia. He's out there a little sooner than he would have liked. I would
03:23have thought.
03:29He's got that one into the gap. Just to the left hand of Lara at mid on.
03:36This is where you've got to be right into Ponting. You've got to get Ponting early.
03:39He's one of those very dangerous players. Gives the impression that he's a bit nervous when he first comes into
03:45bat.
03:50That one's going away down to the boundary. And all the way to the fence. So that's the first boundary
03:56of the tournament.
04:00Edwards last ball of his third over. In the air over the top. Oh he was playing at a wide
04:08delivery there.
04:08That'll go to the boundary for four. A bit streaky there by Ponting. But he did hit through the ball.
04:18Found the gap. Minimum fuss from Simon Katic. But the result good indeed.
04:29Again he's found the gap. The outfield is thick. Plenty of grass on it. But it's still beat the fielder.
04:36Get to the fence. Boundary to Indio. It's 35 for one.
04:45Glorious. Punter in full floor. Good to watch. Boundary to Ponting.
04:56He's found the gap. He's a very good player. Simon Katic. Square of the wicket in the offside. No margin
05:02for error.
05:07He's surprised Ricky Ponting with the short delivery. But the Australian skipper will pick up four more runs.
05:14Alice.
05:19This time more control Ricky Ponting. A lot more secure. Dispatched to the boundary with a touch of disdain.
05:31Beautifully executed.
05:34So the most expensive of the hour of the innings from Jerome Taylor. Not a great start for him. But
05:40Ricky Ponting is on a roll. Australia 63 for one.
05:46Intentional and well executed. Improvisation at its best.
05:56And these are gonna be easy pickings. There is a man in the deep. But we'll just escort the ball
06:01to the fence.
06:07I think of two. Will they get there? Content with the single. No. I want two. Katic coming back.
06:18One down the offside wide. And now this down the leg side. And this cost Bravo four.
06:25Now a lot of their young players. They've come here with 18. In the air. And that is terrific. Great
06:35foot movement.
06:35Up to the pitch of it. Although it was wide. But went over the top. Got a boundary. And with
06:41it is 50 as well.
06:44Action out in the middle.
06:50Rich out. And is given. He is gone. Last ball of the 20th over.
06:58I guess the thing that he had to decide was whether it pitched in line. It did come back into
07:03him. It did keep low.
07:04There was no doubt about the fact that it was gonna hit the off stump. Thought about it. And eventually
07:09raised his finger.
07:10And I thought that was a good decision. So. The breakthrough that the West Indies required.
07:15Ricky Ponting walks back for 54. And now 107 for 2 Australia.
07:20Thank you Danny. And Michael Clark. As you say. Look at those numbers there.
07:24A strike rate of 84. That's pretty good going by any standards.
07:29But he hits him from hard angles. I've seen him hit him from side on. He hits him also from
07:33long distances.
07:34You know like probably 30 meters or more. 35 meters. I've seen him hit him absolutely square.
07:39Well he's flashed at that one. It's wide through the gully region. I'll go back for 2.
07:46That was a little flashy.
07:48That is normally McGrath involved.
07:51Onto the front foot nicely. That's a very well struck cover drive.
07:57Now there's an example of a bit of class. Not trying to hit the ball too hard. Caressing it into
08:02the gap. 4 runs. It's 1.15 for 2.
08:04Goring here from the Australians.
08:06Okay.
08:20Plenty of our Indian viewers will be looking forward to the second match.
08:24Because it involves India. Also against the West Indies by the way.
08:27So the West Indies playing 2 matches straight away.
08:30That match is on the 14th. So there's a rest day for all the players tomorrow.
08:36And then the India West Indies match.
08:40Well that's in the air. This will be out.
08:43Bravo has got him.
08:45Well that's just a little bit of pressure being brought to bear there.
08:48And I think probably tells you something about Katic being a little frustrated.
08:53Needed a bit.
08:54Not the right length. Katic.
08:56Nowhere near it there.
08:57Trying to whip it through mid wicket.
08:58It was outside off stump.
09:00Maybe a leading edge there.
09:02Bravo.
09:02Simple catch.
09:03And another one down for the Australians.
09:05Australia now.
09:061.22 for 3.
09:09Mark Cosgrove.
09:10And have a look at that strike rate.
09:12A strike rate of over 100.
09:14An average of 74.
09:15He's got off to a really good start.
09:17Playing at Adelaide Oval.
09:19The shorter wickets on the sides.
09:21Square of the wicket.
09:24Flies that one away.
09:25Beautifully for Paul.
09:27Down the third man area.
09:29Pick of the bowlers at the moment.
09:32What a shot.
09:33Magnificently played.
09:35Well that was well pitched up.
09:37And you don't hit them much straighter than that.
09:40He had a go.
09:40He kept it straight.
09:41The fieldsman was wide.
09:43Beautifully executed.
09:44Lofted.
09:48Oh that's short.
09:49And that's well played.
09:50Well Clark is the guy that's turning it on for Australia.
09:53He's played a couple of really good shots.
09:56In this.
09:57Certainly in this over.
09:58That.
10:03Exactly Bish.
10:03Now this is.
10:06This typifies the West Indies effort that we just see.
10:10We just saw.
10:11They're getting hit on both sides of the wicket.
10:18And that's pulled.
10:19And pulled away well.
10:23Player from the.
10:25As a perspective.
10:26Especially with the ICC trophy coming up.
10:29The World Cup year.
10:33So.
10:40That is poor feeling.
10:42It really is.
10:43Bradshaw is not a strength in the field.
10:46For the West Indies.
10:47And that.
10:48Is a little demoralizing.
10:50Chris Gale again.
10:53That's beautifully played.
10:54He's just used the pace of the delivery.
10:57And has helped himself to another boundary.
10:59On a target.
11:01Both batsmen pretty well settled now.
11:07That's disappointing.
11:09And with it comes the 50 of the partnership.
11:12Of 57 deliveries.
11:17He's found the gap.
11:19Difficult shot to execute.
11:21But Cosgrove made it look so simple.
11:24Boundary number two.
11:27Straight off the conveyor belt.
11:31Taking the aerial route.
11:34Had a touch of arrogance about this shot.
11:36But he's known to be a big hitter.
11:39In the air.
11:39In front of Square.
11:43This is a magnificent shot.
11:45This is a classic.
11:48And showing all their skills.
11:54Gone.
11:55Taken.
11:56Firmly struck.
11:58But finds the West Indian captain.
11:59Brian Lara.
12:03Now I just think maybe just a little too overconfident.
12:06Just heading through the line.
12:08And just as simple as you like.
12:09Straight to Brian.
12:10Charles Lara.
12:12Says thanks kindly.
12:14Young Cosgrove.
12:15And he has to head back to the dressing room.
12:17Gone for a quick fire 34.
12:20And Australia find themselves 191 for four.
12:24The 44th match for Shane Watson.
12:26Just 25 years of age.
12:28They have plenty of chance.
12:31To get speed from a smallish frame.
12:34Right on.
12:34Right on.
12:35Right on.
12:36Right on.
12:37Right on.
12:37Right on.
12:37Yes.
12:38Yes.
12:38Come on.
12:38Come on.
12:38Hello.
12:39It's sloppy here.
12:40Your call.
12:41And Sean Watson will come back.
12:44So a single turns into three.
12:52Now.
12:53Look for two.
12:56Quick between the wickets.
12:57Michael Clarke.
12:58Will pick it up quite easily.
13:00Two runs.
13:01Two in the over.
13:02Six of it.
13:03It's 198 for four.
13:06So Dale Smith will continue.
13:10Looks for two.
13:11Michael Clarke.
13:12And also.
13:13Reaches his 50.
13:15Again sloppy.
13:16But they don't pick up the overthrow.
13:18Go.
13:19Go.
13:20Go, buddy.
13:21Go, buddy, mate.
13:24To 51.
13:26And now he's just going to settle in.
13:32He's got him.
13:33Another success for Devane Smith.
13:36Shane Watson in trying to clear the man at shot mid-wicket.
13:40Doesn't get the timing right.
13:43Get one wicket and get two.
13:45And Watson has got out at a crucial time.
13:49Sharp catch.
13:49You expect those to be taken.
13:51Runnery Sarwan does so.
13:52But Watson is out.
13:54And he's gone for two.
13:56And Australia now find themselves 2.05 for five.
14:01Brad Haddon, the new man in.
14:04And he gets off the mark straight away.
14:06And it finds time.
14:08Boundary to get off the mark.
14:09And boundary to end the over.
14:14Oh, dropped it.
14:16Has he dropped it?
14:20Has it dropped short and just gone through?
14:26Oh, good hit down the ground.
14:28That's a lovely strike.
14:31Straight through the ball.
14:33Clark hitting it right in the middle of the bat.
14:36We saw him in this innings.
14:40Lovely shot.
14:41Lovely strike.
14:43From Haddon.
14:55Boys hit that one well.
14:56Down to third man.
14:57One bounce for four.
14:59Pouring quickly.
15:07So we keep thinking of, uh.
15:09Quite close to the stumps there.
15:11We keep hurry here.
15:14That's a full task.
15:15And it's smashed away down towards the boundary at square leg for four.
15:19Well, that's unfortunate.
15:20He's bowled so many good deliveries.
15:27Oh, he's hit that hard too, and that's into the gap as well.
15:29And that's another four.
15:31This is exactly the sort of finish that the Australians wanted.
15:39Bowled in.
15:39That's beautifully bowled.
15:41Well, one bad ball that over, and that one was absolutely spot-on target,
15:47and he's managed to get the stumps.
15:48And so, they'll see the back of the man that's done all the damage here today.
15:54He's played absolutely superbly.
15:59Down go the stumps, and that's the end of Clark.
16:03Very, very well played indeed.
16:06Disappearing 481.
16:09Bowled by Bravo.
16:12258 for six.
16:13On Seema.
16:29That's the importance and the benefits of Bowling Strait.
16:34At any time of the innings, more so towards the end.
16:38The line and the length, the combination is often destructive, and it was in the last case.
16:44Brad Haddon played quite a handy innings.
16:4723 coming in quick time.
16:49He's gone.
16:49On Australia, 258 for seven.
16:54He's got another one.
16:59Goal straight.
17:01And he's gotten the results.
17:03End of Bracken.
17:05And another very good delivery.
17:08Just stuck to his basics.
17:09Did not try anything fancy.
17:13Very close to 140 k's per hour.
17:15And Nathan Bracken was too late on that.
17:17Jerome Taylor, too good for the low-order batsman.
17:21And he's picked up yet another wicket, which certainly will add to the confidence that he's gained.
17:26Nathan Bracken gone for one.
17:27It's 260 for eight.
17:33Half-stopped it.
17:40In fact.
17:43Now, has this gone away?
17:45Yes, it has.
17:46Third man is up.
17:48And that's unfortunate.
17:50Now, there's four runs and vital runs at that.
17:53Eight deliveries left.
17:55Eight legal deliveries left in the innings.
17:59Good strike.
18:01It's gone for six.
18:05The first in the innings.
18:09And they're still going to get the minimum score that they looked like getting at 30 overs.
18:15280 or above.
18:16Oh, maybe not.
18:18If Jerome Taylor has anything to do with it.
18:21It's picked up three wickets in this final spell.
18:26All three of them bowled so far.
18:29It's been quite outstanding in his last spell.
18:31Especially the last two overs have been simply superb.
18:34Good position of the team, but the important thing, they were in the right areas.
18:39Straight and full.
18:41Not giving the batsman any chance to make contact.
18:44Mitchell Johnson goes for 15.
18:45Australia, 276 for nine.
18:53So just a leg by to end things.
19:00Three runs off the over.
19:02The final over pulled by Jerome Taylor.
19:06At one stage, it looked like Australia would get more than the 279 on which they ended.
19:13Three for 59 for Jerome Taylor at the end of his job with the ball.
19:20So the target for the West in these, a fairly testing one.
19:25Been out of the game since January.
19:30And dear old Chris Gale gets one of these.
19:32Varsity experience, exciting player.
19:36A lot of cricket fans around the world will appreciate this man can get on with the strike rate there.
19:41It's just over 78.
19:43His partner shipping around Chandipal.
19:45A little bit less of a strike rate, but lots of experience as well.
19:51It's probably a wide miss.
19:54The mental pressure and the heat of a tournament.
20:02What you would call match fitness, actually exhibiting those skills.
20:10It's not go quite so deep.
20:13Hello.
20:14There we go.
20:15Didn't quite get as much on it as he would have liked.
20:19Still gets the result for four.
20:27Stamped his authority on that.
20:29Shibnara and Chandipal.
20:30Two fours in the over.
20:32It's a good one for the West Indies.
20:34Never know.
20:37That has been put away for four.
20:39There's no stopping that one.
20:41So he's really going after Bracken.
20:44Taking a few risks, but they're coming off at the moment.
20:50And again, he's gone in the air.
20:52There's a fielder who feels he's got a chance.
20:55Johnson didn't quite make it.
20:57And he's fumbled it.
20:57It's gone for four.
20:59Great effort.
21:01He's gone again.
21:02And he's getting four more.
21:03Shibnara and Chandipal has decided that Bracken's got to go.
21:08Well, he's now in a stationary position.
21:13That is a lovely shot.
21:15Well, that deserved four.
21:18Wonderful on-drive past mid-wicket.
21:24And he has utilized the field placement exquisitely.
21:29He didn't need it.
21:30He's gone for six.
21:35Well, he's given it a whack.
21:37But that's another six.
21:39He just bludgeoned that one over mid-wicket.
21:42He's gone almost parallel.
21:45Worth watching.
21:46Who are graceful.
21:52That's four more.
21:54That is a wonderful shot.
21:56Just slightly shot.
21:58A little on two pad line.
21:59And he just used the pace of the delivery.
22:02Flicked it away for four.
22:04The leg side.
22:08Well, that is powered past the cover fielder.
22:13Couldn't even get down.
22:15It was really smashed through the inner cordon.
22:21He's gone over again.
22:23That's another lovely shot.
22:26It's proving impossible to stem the flow of runs with Chandra Paul in this mood.
22:35And now Chris Gale has come to the party.
22:38Four there for him.
22:40Anything pitched up is now going over the top.
22:43Chris Gale.
22:46That's gone as well.
22:49They're just having a party here.
22:51They're going for everything.
22:56Now we'll have to take a look at that one.
22:57Whether it's four or six.
22:59It's a close one.
23:07Just over probably.
23:09Yes, it is.
23:10It's obviously going to be six as it's indicated.
23:19Oh, he's hit that one.
23:20He's backed away and sliced it over the top of backward point.
23:24That's a very frustrated look from Johnson.
23:31Oh, he's hit that one down the ground for Paul.
23:33That's an incredible shot.
23:36He's backed away, exposed these stumps and flayed it down the ground.
23:41Of the sober from Johnson.
23:44Oh, that's straight up in the air.
23:45No, it's not.
23:46It's going way over the top of third man for six.
23:50Well, no matter where they bowl it, it is disappearing.
23:54That one.
23:55Apparently been to a body language school.
24:01Well, that's four as well.
24:03He's beaten the offside field.
24:05It's gone like a rocket.
24:07Having one in the circles.
24:12Oh, he's hit that one nice and hard as well.
24:14And they're wide down there.
24:15The fieldsmen at both Middorf and Middonna are very wide.
24:19That was a very good shot.
24:20It was hit nice and straight and firmly.
24:22It was such that it looked like...
24:25Whoops.
24:26And now he's played that reverse sweep and it's beaten Cosgrove.
24:31And oh boy, he's gone for the big dive.
24:33Big effort there to pull it back.
24:35And he's on 49.
24:39Oh, and it pops back down the ground.
24:41That takes him to his half century.
24:43Just closing the face a little bit.
24:44But very, very well played.
24:46Chris Dale, 50 or 41 deliveries.
24:49Seven fours and a six.
24:51It's now 125 for no...
24:52How you say that?
24:57Oh, he's hit that beautifully.
24:59That is a magnificent shot.
25:00The shot of the day.
25:02Short delivery.
25:04Onto the back foot.
25:05Flat as a tack.
25:06And it's disappeared for six.
25:08Even Bly Brian Lara reckons that's good fun.
25:10Yeah, now that's important.
25:11They've got to finish it off.
25:14In the air and that's out.
25:16Straight to backward point.
25:18It's gone off the bat like a rocket.
25:22And, well, the Australians at last have got something to cheer about.
25:29Yeah, Chris Gale just trying to make something out of nothing here.
25:32A little bit of whiff.
25:33It just shopped.
25:34It tried to be a little bit too cute.
25:36Straight to point there.
25:39And I think that's a pretty relieved look on the face through, Shane Watson.
25:44Right, last ball of the over.
25:46And there it is.
25:47The wicket they were looking for.
25:49Chris Gale leaves.
25:50The West Indies finally lose a wicket.
25:53136 runs.
25:54In the centre.
25:55Batting average of 56.8, was it?
26:018.2.
26:02Strike rate of 77.
26:04Coming.
26:05The opposition on the mat.
26:06We've got to keep them there.
26:10Well, it's in the air.
26:11But will it clear the fielder?
26:15Well, he had it for a moment, had it, but had to throw it back in, otherwise he was falling
26:21over the line.
26:22Now, we've got to wait and see the decision.
26:25It's definitely not out because he threw the ball in.
26:28No, you've got to see whether it was six or...
26:34Well, he's got it so far, it's six.
26:37It's certainly six.
26:39Whether you throw it in or not, it's six.
26:41It's going to hopefully disappear out of the ground.
26:47Doesn't matter.
26:48They're all going for it, these West Indians.
26:50No second slip.
26:52Doesn't matter.
26:53It has gone for four.
26:54The result again.
26:55Now, it's him.
26:57He's in that zone at the moment.
27:01Good cricket.
27:02Smart cricket if someone gets home.
27:04Direct hit.
27:06And this could go all the way, and has indeed.
27:10So, it's going to cost five, is it?
27:13Cross.
27:14Signal.
27:17And there's the signal from...
27:20If you can grab a wicket too now.
27:24But he's got it through.
27:26That should be four.
27:27That's a good way to end the over.
27:31Five of it.
27:34164 for one.
27:36Johnson now.
27:41And thanks very much.
27:43Starts with another boundary in this over Chandipal.
27:48Wicket.
27:51He just can't bowl this length.
27:52You really can't, because you're going to get murdered.
27:55And Ponting will be pulling the rest of his hair out.
28:01Phenomenal.
28:03Fast.
28:05Big appeal.
28:06And gone.
28:07He hung around.
28:09He hung around.
28:09Shibner and Chandipal.
28:10But Mitchell Johnson gets his man.
28:16Well, he did try and dab it down to third man.
28:22Made a sound.
28:23Now, whether it got the glove or...
28:25Yes, just the top of the bat.
28:26The shoulder of the bat.
28:29And they have their man.
28:31So Johnson has got...
28:34A breakthrough.
28:36Chandipal gone for 92.
28:38Tremendous batting.
28:40Just up 83.
28:40It's now 172 for two.
28:43Come on, man.
28:44It's a marvellous strike rate of around 80.
28:48And a superb average of 41.11.
29:00First made an over.
29:02It would have been for Glenn McGrath, but there are overthrows.
29:06Don't see the reason why Michael Clarke was looking at the stumps.
29:10Even a directed wouldn't have brought about a dismissal.
29:13It's missed thereafter.
29:17Good appeal.
29:18And he's given him.
29:19He has given him.
29:21Brian Lyra was looking shaky.
29:23Wasn't all that comfortable in the last over.
29:26And Johnson strikes.
29:28Good picture this earlier in the innings.
29:29Let's have a look where he catches him.
29:32There's a good view.
29:33Wow, that's going to hit middle, isn't it?
29:35The only thing is height, and I don't think that's going to be a problem.
29:38The umpire didn't think so.
29:40So Brian Lyra, huge wicket.
29:42So three quick wickets for the Aussies and West Indies, 176.
29:48That's two.
29:50This is what Tony Gregg said.
29:52They got off to a really good start,
29:53and it's just going to see how they whether collapse or consolidate after that start.
29:58And at the moment, they just don't go for a big shot here out of frustration.
30:09It's gone fine.
30:11Good attempt by the keeper, Brad Haddon.
30:13Did it come off the bat?
30:15Run signaled.
30:17Yeah, they've been pointing, and Clark really got it moving.
30:21That's in the air, is it?
30:23It certainly is.
30:24Just popped up to cover.
30:25Very simple chance there.
30:27Bravo, I think the man.
30:28Exactly what happened.
30:30Well, Dwayne Bravo gets a lot of runs on the leg side,
30:32and he was in no position to work it through mid-bigger.
30:35That's exactly what he was trying to do.
30:37Closing the face of the bat a little too early,
30:38and a fine catch by Jake's at Carver.
30:42Always going to be difficult running back
30:44because the ball didn't go a great deal in the air.
30:46And Glenn McGraw is provided Australia with yet another breakthrough.
30:51Bravo gone for eight.
30:52It's 185.4 at LB drinks.
30:56Well, the runs per over are required.
30:58The moment is 4.3.
31:0094 from 21 overs.
31:08Johnson will continue.
31:09And it's played a bit through the offside
31:11by Ram Naree Sarban.
31:14Was in the air,
31:15but just wide of the man at cover.
31:22Is that gone?
31:23Yes, it is.
31:25The wicket they require.
31:28They've got one in Cosgrove.
31:30The man with the golden arm picks up a wicket.
31:34Well, that was an absolutely enlightened decision
31:38by Ricky Ponting to replace McGraw with Cosgrove
31:41because it's yielded results.
31:43Just a little bit of movement,
31:44opening the face of the bat,
31:46guiding it almost off the surface of the bat
31:49into the hands of Haddon.
31:51Now, isn't he ecstatic?
31:52He knows the value of that wicket.
31:53They're back in it, the Australians now.
31:56Five wickets down.
31:58They could very well be under some pressure.
32:01Now, Heinz gone for two.
32:02It's 196 for five.
32:04Dwayne Smith, there is no problem at all with his strike rate.
32:10But his average, he hasn't yet fulfilled his potential as a batsman.
32:15And play it differently.
32:19He's gone.
32:21Sarwan has gone, succumbed to the pull.
32:24That is wicket number six for the Australians.
32:27Has this match done?
32:31Again, Sarwan falls to the pull or the hook shot.
32:34The Australians have been very aware of that.
32:36It's a good catch.
32:37He moves smartly to his right.
32:39Ricky Ponting.
32:42And has the momentum now been shifted towards the Australians?
32:49Certainly, a couple of injudicious shots have been played.
32:52Sarwan goes for 22.
32:54It's 197 for six.
33:08Outside edge and it is all over for Carlton Ball.
33:13That is wicket number seven.
33:15Again, at the last ball of the 33rd.
33:20So, the West Indies are finding it very, very difficult now.
33:24That's seven down for 198.
33:27Yeah, and not a good shot when you've got so many deliveries to play with.
33:34Less runs to get than balls left to be bowled.
33:37A lot of time in the context of the innings at this point.
33:40And Ricky Ponting is all smiles.
33:43So too Nathan Bracken.
33:47Carlton Ball goes without scoring 198 for seven.
33:51Sarwan also.
33:54To an extent is to blame.
33:55That is close.
33:55It's got to go.
33:56It's overpitched.
33:57And it was headed to the middle.
34:03Well, that is almost over now for the West Indies.
34:07That is very cleverly bowled.
34:09And definitely hitting the stumps.
34:11It just had to be sure that it pitched on.
34:14Yep, that definitely pitched on.
34:16He's a long way across.
34:17It would have crashed into middle stump.
34:19Got himself in a tangle, Ian Bradshaw, because it came back on pitching.
34:25That is a top-class delivery.
34:29Shane Watson.
34:31That's one to his name.
34:35Head bowed as Bradshaw walks off.
34:38It's turned on its head.
34:39This match, he goes for naught.
34:40199 for eight.
34:41Christian and Tony Gregg in the commentary box.
34:45Bowled in.
34:46Clean bowled in.
34:47Right up in the block hole.
34:49Nice and straight.
34:50And Watson struck again.
34:52Well, the West Indies won't be very happy when they get back to look at the replays of this innings.
34:57They had it won.
34:57And here they are now in all sorts of strife.
35:02Well, they're proving the reason why they are the world champions.
35:05Good position of the seam.
35:06Just a hint to swing into the right-hander.
35:09And what a delivery.
35:10The body language looking good now from Shane Watson.
35:13And he's performed quite usefully.
35:14Picking up his fourth wicket.
35:17And he's on a roll.
35:18It's been a sensational comeback by Australia.
35:21Right back into this match.
35:23Jerome Taylor goes for Duck.
35:25It's 199 for nine.
35:27Quite incredible, really.
35:29This is the last ball of the over.
35:33And he's lobbed it over the top of the infield.
35:35They'll get a single.
35:36So Edwards retains the strike.
35:39And the West Indies bring up their 200.
35:45That's out.
35:46That's caught behind.
35:47Off the edge of the bat.
35:48Big deflection.
35:49And that is the end of that.
35:53Well, Bracken managing to get the outside edge.
35:56Oni's birthday ends up with figures of one.
35:59Correction.
36:00Now he gets two.
36:01Two for 45 of 6.3 overs.
36:03And the Aussies giving themselves a pat on the back.
36:06There was one stage where it was very difficult to find a smile out there on an Australian face.
36:11Because they were in all sorts of trouble.
36:14But they have stuck to it.
36:16They fought back.
36:17They got the wicket they wanted.
36:20And, well, the rest is now history.
36:23What a way to finish a match.
36:25At one stage when they were 172 for one.
36:28Things look very difficult.
36:30They are the world champions in Australia.
36:33And here's another reason why they prove that they will still be a strong contender in the 2007 World Cup.
36:40They are playing a young side.
36:41Just getting 279 on the board.
36:42Which was a fighting score.
36:44And West Indies got off to a flyer.
36:47But Australia fought back very hard indeed.
36:51Been good efforts by Shane Watson.
36:53Lynn Madra was a little wayward in terms of the number of wide that he won earlier.
36:57But created the pressure when he came back.
36:59Picked up crucial wickets.
37:01Pointed with the way the matches panned out.
37:03Australia won the toss and decided to bat first.
37:06Managed a good score of 279 for ninth.
37:09Michael Clarke being the top scorer.
37:11Ricky Ponting a stroke full half century.
37:14Bradshaw was the pick for the bowlers.
37:16Economical pick up two for 37.
37:18Taylor picking up three wickets in his last spell.
37:21And in reply, West Indies looking for 280 for a win here.
37:26Looking very, very good indeed.
37:28But eventually, things turned around so dramatically.
37:31That they were bowled out for 2-0-1.
37:33Chinda Paul, the top scorer.
37:35Shane Watson.
37:36The most successful bowler for Australia.
37:384 for 43.
