River End RD King 11* (12b 1x4) CEL Ambrose 22* (18b 1x4 1x6) Julian doing his best to even out the match 47.1 SR Waugh to King, one run, defends into the covers, mark waugh fields 47.2 SR Waugh to Ambrose, one run, same part of the field, but that's the left hander's mid wicket 47.3 SR Waugh to King, no run, quick single, flicked off the pad, Lee zooms in from backward square, throws down the keeper's end, TV called, about half a metre out West Indies 242/10, Partnership of 27 CEL Ambrose run out (Lee) 23 (19b 1x4 1x6) Australia wins by 46 runs good win for Australia, mainly carried on the back of the partnership of Lehmann and Bevan bowling still wasn't up to scratch, too many wides and no balls again, and the 3 pacemen proved expensive the West Indies were let down by their top order, but that usually happens in the face of a large target, and their bowling was ultra-defensive when they would've been better served going for wickets presentations starting.... Lara: always a tough task chasing 288.... needed a good start in our first 15... thought it would break up for the spinners later on Waugh: it was a good performance today... we thought anything over 250 was a good score... Darren Lehmann fantastic innings... great venue, very good crowd... [not worried about his own form, mentions his wicket] Man of the match: adjudictor mentions Bevan, Lehmann, the partnership, no WI bowling statistics worthy of mention, Campbell, Adams, Simmons, Warne.... but no surprises with it being Lehmann, goodness knows why we need the long speech Lehmann: a very good oneday wicket... probably too flat for the bowlers... [Waugh] doesn't think my bowling is too good the next Limited Cricket match is from Trinidad, 17th April, with a follow up match on the 18th that's it. bye.
