Aussies win 1st ODI V W.I. by 84 runs?

Question

Watson & Haddin top scored, Bracken 4 wkts & Lee 2.

Australia looking up?

Answer 1

yes its was kind of expected~

Answer 2

Australia'snew opening pair of Marsh and Watson did extremely well to score 75 runs without loss and further Haldin and Hussey

helped them to put up a challenging score.  However, West Indies was never in hunt after early break-through by Brett Lee.  Bracken too bowled extremely well and Australia once again shown why they are No. 1 side in the world.

Answer 3

The match didn't live up to the expectations.People expected a better performance from the West Indies but that wasn't the case.

Great batting by Marsh.He's a run machine.

Answer 4

I think you mean Marsh and Haddin (Marsh got 81, Watson scored 31)

Yes, things are looking up. The Australian ODI side is in transition, with a few new players coming in.

I'm sure it will all gel together come the next World Cup. Exciting times in Australian cricket, as there is uncertainty over some of the places, so everyone is trying to impress. I like the look of Shaun Marsh, he has the potential to be a real star.

Answer 5

My two guys did OK, Haddin 50 runs, a few catches, Lee 2 wkts.They looked good.

Answer 6

Yes it was a good win to the Aussies..

I watched the first 1 1/2 hours of the match..very emotional start and a great ending...

Our top scorers were Shaun Marsh-81

                                     Brad Haddin-50

                                     Mike Hussey-44

And                             Shane Watson-31...

Our Top Bowler was Nathan bracken with a teriffic 4/41 from 5.5 overs...

Brett Took 2/37 from his 9 overs...

Johnson,M.Clarke and Watson all took 1 each...

It was a great match apart from the unfortunate Sammy incident..A little bit surprised to see the West Indian supporters carry on like they did...But we WON!!...

Answer 7

Shaun Marsh 81 runs and man of the match, Bracken impressive with his bowling..  australai won comfortably.. crowd went ballistic and throw rubbish and pile of bottles in the ground when Sammy got out they thought it wasn't a wicket, game was suspended for a few minutes.

EDIT;  Lol problem is the stadium didn't have a big screen they have to rely on the radio..  LOL!!  see what happen when there's no modern technology around.

Answer 8

Yeah a good win,even though all the Indians said we will get our butts kicked by Bravo and Chanderpaul..

Good to see the new kid do well and also get man of the match,well done Marshy...

Braken did a good job too,bagging 4,i'm glad they included him on the squad,he is a good ODI player..

Answer 9

Nice to see Haddin get some runs, he is probably only ever three failures away from losing his spot.

I don't mean that in a derogatory sense, I just mean he has to prove himself to the selectors and there is a lot of competition for his spot.
