one of those 500 run dull-a-thons. Result never really seemed in
doubt after 15 overs of Australia's innings
it was pretty obvious that WI never scored enough. The ball hardly
beat the bat all day.
I think the Windies were just happy to win a toss, and never really
cared about the match
next and last match is tomorrow at the same time from the same
ground, and probably with the same entertainment factor. The
ordeal is nearly over.
until then it's good bye from CI
