Faced with the West Indies Women’s fierce bowling attack, on a difficult surface to boot, the Australia Women were unable to http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Adrian-Roger-Kirshaw-Pierson-c42135 it out at the crease, and after a slew of mediocre batting performances, found themselves restricted to a final total of 115,

out – Haynes, followed by http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Julie-Lauren-Hunter-c69645 (3*) at the crease, the team posted a final total of 115.
