-
an excellent win for the West Indies, it looked like a small
target, but was more than enough, without even needing the 3 over
penalty
the crowd has gone beserk, the whole outfield is one big mass
jumping up and down to the same rhythm
the outstanding player of the day was Hendy Bryan, playing on
debut, ripping the Australian middle order to shreads
but as far as the batting goes, both sides were very lame, Campbell
by far the top scorer and thatw as a very messy innings
and the man of the match is predictably Bryan
Bryan: says it's a wonderful debut... takes his award and poses for
a photo
