Interesting to see how identical the innings were apart from the wickets fallen. Lara and Morton deserve all the praise really, despite the awesome spell at the death from Jerome.

I still think Lee was hardly done by. His LBW was missing leg and he is capable of putting the ball over the fence when it counts.

Anyway, no point dwelling on that, gotta look to the future. A good win for the windies they deserved the win.

Wasnt about Lee - Gilly and Clarke should've walked it in

Australia should really have won from needing 72 off 78 with 6 in hand, but Hussey had to fail eventually, and Taylor and Bravo bowled very well at the death.

Have to concur with the general feelings about Gayle, he was absolutely disgraceful. It's one thing to sledge, it's another to follow a guy around between overs, put hands on him and walk in between balls to have a go when you aren't bowling.

How good was that!

Jerome Taylor, what a gun. Showed so much promise for so long now, particularly earlier this year, and then he delivers just like that! Brilliant.

Some people on cricbuzz calling this the best ODI hat-trick ever....

Seriously.

The best ODI hat-tricks are ones taken at the top of the order, the ones taken in the early overs when the batsmen aren't trying to bludgeon the living daylights out of anything. Not taking anything away from Taylor, but some people calling this the greatest hat-trick ever are kidding themselves.

Why would you even care what people on Cricbuzz are saying? Not exactly known for having the smartest conversation now is it?

mind you, in considering the Lee LBW, you also have to consider that Gilchrist was given not out to Gayle when the ball was hitting middle 2/3 of the way up.

Gayle pretty much lost it today though, was interesting to watch, Bravo was brilliant

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.

Wow. So you missed the memo about half a year ago when Chanderpaul got axed from the captaincy for being rubbish? Did you blink too long?

Can only imagine Clarke said something interesting to Gayle, never seen him lose it like that.

Great game, if only more ODIs were like this.

Chapeau! West Indies.

I meant Dave as he obviously would be captain if he was in the side.
