Australia won by 118 runs
Once again a professional performance from the Australians
the day started with West Indies needing 300 runs to win with seven
wickets in hand
Lara and Sarwan held on till Lunch adding 103 runs and keeping
hopes alive
Lara scoring a glorious hundred, his 21st in Tests, his first in
front of his home crowd and the 8th against the Australians

things were going on fine for the West Indians until Andy Bichel
came along to bowl
he picked up three quick wickets and things changed dramatically
and once Lara fell, it was just the matter of when
Australia now lead the four Test series 2-0
Man of the Match : Ricky Ponting
