Australia have won 13 out of the last 14 odis v W.I the other being a no result!

[Amjid Javed]

W.I already wasted their 1 review.

Aus 9/0 after 1.2 overs

[Amjid Javed]

Watson and Aussies off to a flyer here

18/0 after 2 overs

[wrongun]

Dwayne Bravo has to be the most over-rated player I have seen in years.

He bowls pies & rarely performs with the bat. Little brother got all the talent in that family.

[Fawad2010]

slow start by aussies...

Warner's SR is 40...

u got to be the sanest cricket poster i've ever come across.

he is so over-rated for nothing, i've hardly seen this guy middling the ball... most of the times bat swivels in his hands while trying to go big, yet commentator hype him so much!!

n his bowling is as good as a.Razzaq, maybe a bit better but useless indeed. most boring player on show imho.

[wrongun]

Well he got a wicket at least so I hoe for WI sake he ca do well.

But yes late era Razzaq (he was quite handy with the ball when young) is a pretty fair comparison- except without the clean hitting power !

[WalkingWiggett]

Darren Sammy bowling nicely at a blistering 110 kph.

I agree. Dwayne should stick to T20 Tourneys.

Pollard will bowl about the same later.

Holding STILL looks like he could bowl quicket than both of them right now!

I only have the cricinfo feed here in oz (no pay TV for me ).

How fast does Russell bowl? He is listed right arm fast bit what are his actual speeds?

130 kph, sometimes 135ish. According to the speed gun, that is. I've seen him bowl at 140 kph in the past, though.

[Amjid Javed]

Aus 70/1 after 16 overs.

Good solid start here....

[Dr_Bassim]

Is it the pitch or the Australians are playing slow ?

[wrongun]

Warner is tuk tukking!

If it was Misbah doing this people on here would be in a rage!

[Dr_Bassim]

I think people get outraged cuz Misbah tuk tuks while chasing 250 plus...

Australians are setting a target. So it's fine right now. Although, they are a bit TOO slow for my liking.

[Dr_Bassim]

Australian mini collapse...

2 quick wickets

[cricketworm]

So I guess Aus.'s batsman aren't playing selfish cricket, WI is bowling better, right? SR of 50!!

[Markhor]

Come on West Indies ! Roll back the glory days.

Roach, Narine and Samuels have been excellent. Peter Forrest - 26 off 64 - if that was Misbah people on here would crucify him !

lol. The pitch is not that easy to hit.

Misbah tends to tuk on every pitch : )

[Faisalabadimunda]

Australia 204/8 (50 ov)
West Indies 23/1 (6.1 ov)
West Indies require another 182 runs with 9 wickets and 43.5 overs remaining
Can Windies upset the Aussies............................

[Dr_Bassim]

Australia 204 /8

WI 33/3 ( 11 overs)

Watch it live on Sky sports 4

[WalkingWiggett]

33/3

WI batting is comically bad at times. Charlie Chaplain batting. Much worse than PAK!

[Ruri]

Brett Lee... Even at 35+ pulling it out time and time again as an ODI player. Immense.

West Indies generally suck.

But at least Dwayne Bravo is playing aggressively.

Seems like he is their best bat.

[Dr_Bassim]

Doherty massacred by Samuels for 3 huge sixes

[Saj]

West Indies looking good for victory here.

[sehsan]

one wicket and that can be end of WI resistance. They need to built patnership. Game is even at the moment.

[adnan yasin]

97/5 west indies

still need 108 more to win from 153 balls

[Dr_Bassim]

Yup they have thrown it away Imo...

Typical West Indian batting.

[adnan yasin]

why a batsman especially a new at the crease .. play sweep shot to middle leg delivery ... where the ball is spinning so much ??????

[Dr_Bassim]

Not much of a match eh ?

If Australia struggled to make 204... don't count on Windies to make it.

The pitch is tough.

[adnan yasin]

**** performance by west indies

at least i expected a fight

[Dr_Bassim]

103/8

No contest at all.

[Shaheerthe2nd]

Pathetic batting from WI!

I expected more!

[freelance_cricketer]

I thought 290 became a poor total today and here we are seeing Aussies defend 205. WI doesn't even look like getting to 150.

[shahidafridi123]

[shahidafridi123]

[shahidafridi123]

more!

[Shaheerthe2nd]

At least Sammy is going down fighting

[shahidafridi123]

I wanna see some sixes, bowl Doherty please!

[shahidafridi123]

Aww its Mckay!

[shahidafridi123]

Aussies win by 64 runs!

I was absolutely spot on, wasnt I....

[Faisalabadimunda]

Pathetic from Windies I wanted another upset today...

[Love Pakistan]

The match was given to Australia! They are not that good to be honest!

People in oz actually agree with you (especially 1 day format, tests we are coming back strong). This is far from a great oz team right now.

In our conditions, probably Eng & SA are better than us right now.

In Asian conditions, India, Pakistan, SL would all give us big problems & probably split series 2:1, 3:2 going either way with luck or 1 good performance.
