Group A - India, England, Australia, West Indies

[Pratters]

Aussies choking this big time. You have to give credit to the likes of Bravo, but isn't Hogg getting predictable backing away to leg every ball?

I wouldn't say it is choking over all. Not many teams and players are adept at playing where you have to grind it particularly in one day cricket. So unaccustomed more than any thing.

 

[Great Birtannia]

Cameron Borgas would be handy right now....

 

[silentstriker]

hat Trick!

 

[Pratters]

As good as one day cricket gets. Seems like a WC final if you hear the crowd.

Once again, Jerome is in the house!!

 

[SupaFreak2005]

Great stuff from Taylor!!!.. I think Sarwan did a wonderful Job of captaining.

Hahahahahahaha. Australia losing to a second string West Indies side.

Who you calling second string?

 

[nightprowler10]

Hard to believe that's the first West Indian ODI hat trick.

Who you calling second string?

No Chanderpaul and more importantly no tadpole. That's the captain and the best bowler in the world missing from the West Indies side, and they still beat Australia.

 

[silentstriker]

The crowd was great. Awesome match.

 

[social]

3 great things

Interest in this comp

WI have found a fast bowler

AND no-one can ever ever accuse OZ of being the worst behaved team again

YEAH

Champions Trophy just doesn't seem to be our tournament...

Watch out India and England though, a fired up Aussie side is dangerous.

Dissappointing from Australia, but I still love them And I know they will come out with all guns blazing in the next match.

Yeah I love how everyones interest sort of springs back up after we lose

Yeah, really disgraceful behaviour from some of the Windies out there tonight.

Great effort from the Windies; think Rudi might have been a bit trigger happy with Lee's LBW (missing leg for mine), but a great display of death bowling from Taylor & Bravo.

First I've really seen of Taylor, the boy looks like he's going to be genuinely quick.

Pretty ugly heave across the line from Hussey for the start of JT's hat-trick too, decidedly not what the doctor ordered.

What transpired between Clarke & Gayle out there? Sky showed a clip & Gayle seemed apoplectic by his standards.

 

[sideshowtim]

Not to sound like a sore loser or like I'm making excuses, but the Windies had the pick of the conditions. It wasn't doing too much for the spinners when we were bowling but it seemed to do alot more when the Windies bowled. It certainly helped the spinners as the match went on, this can be seen through Gayle troublking the batsman when he is usually an average bowler.

Windies weren't getting any wickets so they turned to yelling things at Gilchrist and Clarke and acting like children.

 

[steds]

You'll be laughing when he has 10,000 Test wickets.

 

[Dravid]

Woah, unbelievable. Australia Lost. If West Indies pick up another win they could be through into the next round. What a game this was, and what a time to pick up a Hat-Trick. Just as we all thought that now Australia are within 50 runs they can't lose from here, Taylor gets a Hat-Trick and wins the game for West Indies out of no where. What a game.

 

[pasag]

Excellent bowling at the end there from WI. We needed to get a move on in the middle of the innings and Clarke should have brought us home.

Gayle though, nearly lost it for them with a brain explosion.

Hmm..well from here Australia will have to beat England and India convincingly to make the next round. I think we can do it.

You don't know what's going to happen with the windies though, they are disgracefully unpredictable. Last match they got bowled out for 80 remember?
