5th Match: Australia vs West Indies (Group A)

[karnog]

Yeah a good wake up call i suppose. We have the bowling attack to get WI cheaply (if the pitch conditions remain the same or worsen) but surely there needs to be a re-jig in the next game. Btw good to see a fighting, understrengthed west indies side. ODI cricket needs this.

Did look out live, we will take it though we need all the help we can get to bat out the 50.

WI have really surprised in both matches (even they lost to Pak earlier),they have done well,this could be the big upset in tornament if they manage to win here...

Dam that was a good pull shot. Thought the player injured was the fielder trying to stop that shot.

With the bowling line-up the Aussies have it is still going to be tricky for them to be fair but this is promising stuff from the Windies. After England I would say that they are my next favourite team although the politics of the last few months has dented that image somewhat.

Haha put midwicket back but Johnson still goes there and smacks it for 6. Great to have Johnson living up to his potential with the bat and two batters actually sticking around.

Yep, the Windies could still be facing 250 or 260 here if they aren't careful! Oooh....go Johnson!

Bout time Johnson hit some runs in OD cricket. He's had tail-end stats in One Day cricket for Australia.

Australia will have about 120 too many I reckon. I see Lee, Johnson and Siddle ripping through this batting line-up on this pitch. The batting of this side is pretty terrible. You know if Devon Smith's the best player in the line-up that you've got problems.

 

[aussie1st]

Haha what happened there, that was one of the more random run outs you see. At least it wasn't Johnson, cmon get your 50.

 

[Akash00]

70 runs partnership so far.

 

[Dutch]

Well played Mitchell Johnson, well played! He has taken this one away from the Windies now.

 

[Howsie]

If only Rauf had given Johnson out when he was 10 This game is all but over, West Indies will struggle to make 16-180 I reckon.

And why is Flyod Reifer in this team? He hasn't made any runs at all since coming into this team and his captaincy isn't that great, Powell should be playing.

 

[aussie1st]

Awesome 50 by Johnson, hes playing very Warner like with those shots to midwicket. Obviously hasn't been good death bowling by WI but Johnson has applied the pressure to them.

Good score in the end with 275.

 

[viney]

The aussies have about 100 too many for the Windies to chase down i reckon.

Wow!!
What a Cameo by Johnson
