Group A: Australia v West Indies at Johannesburg Sep 26 2009 (ICC Champions Trophy)

[aussies1st]

Johnson putting all batters bar Ponting to shame .

 

[Ridders]

God i love watching Mitch bat. More so than actual batsmen tbh. He just strikes it so cleanly!

 

[hineyrulz]

Johnson>>>>>>>>>>>>Hussey.

 

[Ridders]

Mitch, what a champion.

67 runs of 44 balls so far.

 

[TheParraboy]

Notch 73no 47 balls

WI need 276 to win, they should bat with gay abandon imo...

 

[Ridders]

275/8 of 50 overs. Very lucky to get that.

Mitch with 73 of 47 balls.

 

[TheParraboy]

WI 0/12 - 2 overs

Game on

 

[aussies1st]

1/55 game really on, WI's bowlers have bowled much better than us.

 

[Engine]

The Windies and Pakis (our summer touring sides) could give us a royal spanking.

 

[aussies1st]

Got the win but we got some concerns heading into the big matches

 

[Ridders]

We actually let them make 225...

 

[Twizzle]

Windies do have some good payers but it falls way pretty quickly, not much depth

 

[African Monkey]

A good effort from the Windies I thought. Just didn't have the experience to see them through.

 

[aussies1st]

Good effort by the Windies we got lucky to come out of that we were dreadful all round apart from Ponting and Johnson in the batting.

 

[Scott Gourley's Lovechild]

I'm a bit worried that we might take things a little easy after our 6-1 defeat of England, particularly after this result against the Windies 2nd XI. The batting needs to pull its finger out, we can't rely on cameo's by the lower order all the time.
