and there it is Australia have won the match by 67 runs
they have also won the the series 4-0
Earlier in the day after a slow and steady start by the openers
Clarke (55* of 40 balls) and Bevan (21 of 22) saw to it that the
Australians finish off with 286 runs from their 50 overs
Once again Clarke playing a gem of an innings and staying not out
till the end
Once 286 was put up it was always going to be hard for the West
Indians
and as usual they crumbled under pressure
Apart from the innings of Gayle (84) and Lara (40) there is nothing
much to speak about
Australians took wickets at regular intervals and West Indies was
never in the game
Towards the end Samuels (27 of 20 balls) played some healthy shots
but it was too little too late
Gillespie and Harvey took two wickets each and Mcgrath, symonds and
Lee one each
Man of the Match : Adam Gilchrist
And with this win Australia have won the series, they now lead the
seven match sereis 4-0
this was their 21st consecutive ODI win
