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

[aussie1st]

You can't say one thing cost them the match it was a range of things from that call, to the poor death bowling, to the poor running of Fletcher to the poor batting of Reifer.

You could add the poor opening bowling to that list to. The Windies really should of picked up 1-2 more wickets in the first 15-20 overs. The run-rate Australia were going at was also pretty bad for the Windies.

Johnson>Hopes in batting.

Our bowling was pretty poor imo. We let them score 225.

Thanks to Jhonson's innings lol .......... what would have happen I thought we are back after betaing the poms 6-1 but now it looks, we have to start yet again

In the conditions as they've been so far at Johannesburg, the team batting first is not favoured at all. Even 275 looked something that could have been matched by a good effort.

Agree the pitch we batted on was about a 230 pitch, we were lucky the Windies bowlers didn't exploit them. The 2nd innings was a 280 pitch like the commentators originally said. I would hate for the Final to be decided by the toss.
