2nd ODI Australia vs West Indies at St George’s – Jun 27, 2008
Match scheduled to begin at 09:30 local time (13:30 GMT)
Shaun Marsh made the second-highest score by an Australian one-day international debut to set up a convincing 84-run victory in the first ODI in St Vincent. Marsh top scored with 81 as Australia reached a challenging 273 for 8 and an excellent new-ball spell from Brett Lee all but extinguished West Indies’ chase before Nathan Bracken cleaned up the tail to finish with four wickets.
After a Test series in which few days were completely dominated by either team, this was one occasion when virtually nothing went right for West Indies. They did start on a positive note by winning the toss but Chris Gayle’s decision to send Australia in immediately back fired and their game went down hill from there.
