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.

Given the popularity of the Stanford 20/20 tournament in the region, this will be the first Twenty20 international held in the Caribbean. It will also be the first Twenty20 international between Australia and West Indies.
West Indies have not made a strong start in this format and have won only two of the seven Twenty20 internationals they have played. At the World Twenty20 in South Africa last year, they lost both their matches and a six-wicket defeat at the hands of Bangladesh was particularly galling.

Michael Clarke and Brad Haddin drove Australia’s lead to 474 on a morning where play went largely as expected and the only question was when Ricky Ponting would declare and give his bowlers a shot at victory. At the break Australia were 439 for 5 with Clarke on 48 and Haddin on 45.
The danger from Benn was presumably one of the reasons Chris Gayle continued to decline the new ball, instead pressing on with and old one for the whole 145 overs of the innings. But by the end of the session the ball was irrelevant as both batsmen and bowlers were biding time waiting for Ponting’s declaration.
