West Indies Cricket Team Loose Series
The West Indies cricket team has lost their series against the boys from down under. The Windies fell 50 runs short of victory in the fourth One-Day International at the Gabba, handing Australia an unassailable 3-0 lead in the five-match series.
The Aussies were asked to bat first and made a ground record 324-7 off their 50 overs. The Windies replied with 274-8 off their allotment.
The difference between the sides was a masterful 106 off 112 balls from Australia skipper Ricky Ponting – his 29th century in his 339th One-Dayer.
For West Indies, Kieron Pollard topscored with a robust 62 off 55 balls, and Narsingh Deonarine, made 53 from 69 balls – both recorded their career-best scores. Dwayne Smith made 59 not out with three sixes and kept the fight going until the end.
Captain Chris Gayle offered no excuses and promised his players will continue to strive to improve in the remaining matches.
