First ODI: WI vs. Australia

[Fall Out Boy]

Solid win for our boys, although the Windies did throw it away.

The injury to Boof was the only downside to the day.

BTW How did Freak Harvey miss out on the Man of the Match award? Even Ricky Ponting, who was given the award, commented that Freak deserved it.

48* off 30 balls at the death, to go with 3-37, including the wicket of Lara, is more then enough to get the award.

Looks like there will be two changes for tomorrows game, with Clarke coming in for Boof, and Maher replacing Gilchrist.

Although I didnt see the match last night, just looking at the stats, he did look like a deserving winner of the Man Of The Match.

Was Punter's innings something extraordnary?

Who was the idiot that decided the M.O.M ?
Harvey's bowling was what stopped the Windies.They were cruising at 2/124,but Harvey took 3 quick wickets to have them at 5/137.

Why is Gilly not playing in the 2nd one dayer? Being rested?

Yeah, that's it mate.

They don't want him playing in back to back ODI's, which is understandable.

I imagine Maher will open with Hayden. Ponting at three, Clarke at 4, Bevan 5, Symonds 6 and Harvey 7.

Looks a bit thin, but thats to be expected when we are without Gilly, Boof and Martyn.

Why didn't Hogg have a trundle?

Probably due to the wet field.

59, nothing flash about it.

Harvs was robbed!

But where is the Harvey critics? He performed during the WC and has continued on with the form against the Windies. He has earned his place in the side.

Brett Lee still worries me in the ODI's. He is still too costly, but if he gets wickets you can't really complain.
