   4.4 Ambrose to ME Waugh, FOUR, just a little tap thru the covers, a

       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.
