West Indies have won by 9 wickets
and after more than a year Australia loose three consecutive
matches
Lara started off the bowing attack with Samuels and Dillon and they
got rid of the openers
Ponting was hit on the hip by a short delivery and had to go off
the field soon after
then Darren Lehmann and Andy Symonds came together and put up a 107
runs partnership for the third wicket and that brought Australia
back on track
Lara continued with his part time bowlers and it once again turned
out to be a good ploy

Gayle bowled superbly and ended up with five wickets in ten overs,
his best figure in ODIs so far
Lehmann (107) played a super innings and went on to make fourth ODI
ton
and a late fiery innings from Brad Hogg (53 of 58 balls) took
Australia to a decent total (247)
Chris Gayle and Wavell Hinds opened the innings and they put up a
116 run partnership for the first wicket
Australia bowling lacked the pace and depth that we are so used to
seeing
`Hinds went on to make his third ODI ton and Gayle finished off
with sixty runs from sixty eight balls
After Gayle was bowled by Symond in came Lara
`He took the attack to the opposition and scored a brisk 75 from

just 65 balls

and to end it all he hit Lehmann for three consecutive sixes
Man of the Match: Chris Gayle
Man of the Series: Wavell Hinds

and with that we come to the end of this thrilling series
