Australia vs West Indies : Super Eight
Super 8, Match 1, AUS vs WI: Australia beat West Indies by 103 runs
Mar 27, 2007
Veteran fast bowler Glenn McGrath and leg-spinner Brad Hogg, who picked three wickets each, returned to haunt the West Indies, as Australia routed the hosts by 103 runs to emerge the first Super Eight team to taste victory in the World Cup at Antigua in a rain-extended tie.
Australia, who on Tuesday, had squeezed out 322 runs off the Windies bowling attack leaked only 219 when they came on to bowl the next day after rain had abandoned play yesterday afternoon. Matthew Haydens 158 had lit up the newly-built Sir Vivian Richards stadium after Australia had been asked to bat first. Reported Earlier: Rain has played spoilsport in the first super eight clash between the host West Indies and the world champions Australia. Match will now resume on the scheduled reserve day with West Indies needing to score 323 runs to win from 50 overs. Reported Earlier: World champions Australia rode on a rollicking hundred from their strongly-built opener Matthew Hayden to reach 322-6 in 50 overs in the first Super Eight fixture of the World Cup at the newly-built Sir Vivian Richards stadium at Antigua on Tuesday. Hayden was in magnificent touch today as he blazed his way through to 158 off 143 balls and single-handedly shaped Australias destiny in the contest after being asked to bat by Brian Lara. Australia team: A C Gilchrist, M L Hayden, R T Ponting, M J Clarke, A Symonds, M E K Hussey, S R Watson, G B Hogg, N W Bracken, S W Tait, G D McGrath
West Indies team: C H Gayle, S Chanderpaul, R R Sarwan, M N Samuels, B C Lara, D J Bravo, D Ramdin, D S Smith, J E Taylor, D B Powell, C D Collymore
Super 8, Match 1, AUS vs WI: Lara will be targeted by confident Australia
Mar 27, 2007
Australia will see Brian Lara as the main hurdle in their race towards an unprecedented third successive World Cup title when they meet West Indies in the first of the second-stage matches on Tuesday.
Australia's progress to the Super Eights of the tournament has so far been serene with comfortable victories in all of their Group A games including an eventually emphatic 83-run thumping of top ranked South Africa on Saturday. Lara's West Indies have possibly not shown quite the ruthless form of Ricky Ponting's men but they too arrive here with a 3-0 perfect record from Group D, their opening-day victory helping to knock out Pakistan. Lara, a thorn in the side of most teams during his illustrious career which has brought him high-scoring records in both test and first class cricket, will be the man the Australians fear most. Australia team (from): R Ponting (Captain), A Gilchrist, N Bracken, M Clarke, B Haddin, M Hayden, B Hodge, B Hogg, M Hussey, M Johnson, S Clark, G McGrath, A Symonds, S Tait, S Watson.
West Indies team (from): B Lara (Captain), I Bradshaw, D Bravo, S Chanderpaul, C Collymore, C Gayle, K Pollard, D Powell, D Ramdin, M Samuels, R Sarwan, L Simmons, Devon Smith, Dwayne Smith, J Taylor.
