Windies have always been everyone's second favourite side. Village cricket, it is. They can only bat one way.

Its the 5th ODI?

Whats the series score so far?

[Syn]

5th and last, yes.

2-1 Windies is the current score. Looks like it'll finish 2-2 unless Sammy can pull off a miracle here.

Dhoni would do it.

Fuck. Russell out for 41 off 33.

Bloody DRS. We don't need it. The Indians had it right all along

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What a shot from Sammy.

[Dennis Bendtner]

Really really hope he pulls it off. He is a maverick.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

That's it.

2-2 though, better than the West Indies have usually done in ODIs against the Aussies.

[Dennis Bendtner]

nnnnnnnnnoooooooooo

The Windies had a real chance if that Russell decision wasn't referred. But obviously it was the right decision in the end.

Good stuff from the Windies. Really hope they can give the Aussies a good battle in the Tests.

More interestingly, 1st Test between Sri Lanka vs England on in a few hours.

England have warmed up quite well this time and Sri Lanka are struggling in form so England are favourites. No Malinga, Vaas, Murali or any threatening bowlers for SL this time. Mendis is a decent spinner and maybe #decent is all it takes to bowl England out on sub-continent wickets. But I'm backing England to at least draw the series. Hope it's close.
