DLF Cup FINALS - Aus v WI

Time for the grand finale of this triseries. Unfortunately, the weather forecast isn't great, calling for intermittent rain throughout the match. Pitch Report is that it is somewhat worn and torn, and expected to be slow.

Australia won the toss and have chosen to bat. 10 minutes till game time.

Great bowling by Bradshaw and Smith so far. And Bradshaw just got Watson, who was the scoring part of the opening partnership.

Australia 24-1 after 7

Australia 43-2 after 15.

Katich is still in there, and I don't think the West Indies will mind at all, as he's been scoring at a very slow rate.

Australia 81-3 after 25.

Nice bowling from all of the West Indians, but Australia still have a bunch of wickets in hand, so they'll start scoring sooner or later.

Australia scrambled to 6/240 off their allocated 50 overs.

Martyn and Symonds both to-scored, hitting 52 each but fell trying to lift the run rate.

Clarke also fell the same way for 23 with Hussey and Haddin boosting the score by remaining unbeaten on 30 and 17 with strike rates over 100.

Katich needs to be dropped. Shouldn't be playing one-day cricket in my opinion. Scored a pathetic 25 off 66 balls. At one stage it 11 off 50.

Windies in big trouble at the moment. 4/37 after 18 overs with Sarwan on 7 and Bravo on 3. Bracken has 3/13, with Lee getting the other wicket off the first ball of the innings. McGrath has conceded just 6 runs off 6 overs.

Bracken again has the wood over Lara, getting him caught behind for just 5. Morton was dismissed for a duck after facing 32 balls.

6/58 after 24 overs, looks to be all over. Watson and Bracken carved through the Windies fragile batting order.
 
Re: DLF Cup FINALS - Aus v WI

windies are no good mon!

7-106 in 30.3 overs. spot on throw by Ponting to run out sarwan.
 
Re: DLF Cup FINALS - Aus v WI

8/112 now. Baugh on 2, Bradshaw on 0.

Getting pretty embarassing now.

And just as I type this, Bradshaw departs for a duck. 9 down now, only the 33rd over.
 
Re: DLF Cup FINALS - Aus v WI

And the Windies are all out for 113.

Baugh falls to Brett Lee for just 3 and Lee finishes with 4/24. Australia wins by 127 runs and is the winner of the DLF cup.

Yet another Calypso Collapso. They really need to work on their batting.
 
Re: DLF Cup FINALS - Aus v WI

wow, terrible effort by WI. i think it was Morton who was out for a Duck- After 31 Balls!
 
Re: DLF Cup FINALS - Aus v WI

The Windies could be a force at the World Cup............ IF they can find more depth in their batting instead of relying too heavily on Gayle, Lara and Chanderpaul. They need some batters to really stand up if they are ever going to recapture their 80's-90's dominance. It's about time they really invest in youth and look at the potential of some of heir young players.

Lara isn't going to be around forever as well unfortunately.
