0.4
Kuhnemann to Brandon King, wide, a loud shout for caught behind, Josh Inglis was very confident and shakes his head as it's called as a wide - Australia review, was flatter and down leg, King was shaping for the big sweep. The ball is close to the glove, but we need UltraEdge to confirm. A flat line is revealed and Australia have lost their review - NOT OUT and the wide stays

Ben Dwarshuis, left-arm fast medium, comes into the attack
1.1
Dwarshuis to Brandon King, leg byes, 1 run, half-an-appeal for LBW, but the ball had pitched outside leg, swing back into the right-hander and King was shaping to urn it onto the on-side, off the pad and rolled to the off-side

Got to watch this khunny man lol

King just needs to take his time with him

2.1
Kuhnemann to Brandon King, no run, beautifully bowled, has Shai Hope been caught out of the crease? The third umpire will have a look - nice loop and drift from the left-arm spinner, dragged Hope forward and then spun past the outside edge. He was overbalanced and did drag the feet out of the crease, but it's back inside the crease before Josh Inglis broke the stumps - NOT OUT

Can't even get bat on ball

3.5
Dwarshuis to Brandon King, SIX, thumped, that'll make King feel better - fraction overpitched by Dwarshuis, was the slower ball, but it's right in the slot and King drags the heave over long-on for the first six of the night

4.1
Kuhnemann to Brandon King, FOUR, cracking shot, fraction short and wide of off - King backs away, opens up the off-side and then cuts it powerfully past point for a boundary

4.5
Kuhnemann to Brandon King, SIX, massive, this is turning out to be a huge over - can't afford to miss the lengths here and Kuhnemann floats one right into King's hitting area, he gets forward, gets under it and then hammers it over wide long-on for another maximum
4.4
Kuhnemann to Brandon King, FOUR, back-to-back boundaries for King - dropped short by Kuhnemann, there's some grip off the surface, but it sits up to be smacked, King makes room and then finds the gap square past cover for a boundary
4.3
Kuhnemann to Brandon King, SIX, lovely, tad too full from Kuhnemann - land right in the hitting area, King gets a good stride forward, covers the line and then muslces it high and over long-on for a maximum

63/1

7.6
Zampa to Brandon King, out Caught by Green!! That's a top catch from Green and Zampa has struck in his first over - was the leg-break and King is undone in the flight as he charged down the pitch, has to reach out on the shot, it catches the toe-end and lobs up wide of cover-point - Green sprints across to his right, keeps his eyes on the ball and completes it in front of his body!

Shimron Hetmyer, left handed bat, comes to the crease

Pure rubbish batting

Hope gawn

Here we go....

8.1
Maxwell to Shai Hope, out Caught by Mitchell Marsh!! Back-to-back wickets and West Indies have lost both openers now. Hope hardly got strike, didn't look at his best and has now thrown his wicket away. Was tossed up invitingly outside off - Hope saw the width and couldn't hold himself back on the lofted drive, but the ball drifted away and he ended up mistiming it over mid-off - Marsh runs back, keeps his eyes on the ball, was dropping in front of him, but he brings his big hands into play and clutches it safely.

Shai Hope c Mitchell Marsh b Maxwell 9(13)

Roston Chase, right handed bat, comes to the crease

8.2
Maxwell to Roston Chase, 1 run, tossed up just outside off, Chase drags it down to deep mid-wicket for a single

Our boys just can't handle spin. Another day, same problem.

10.3
Maxwell to Hetmyer, SIX, much needed for the West Indies. They need a move on. This is marginally short and Hetmyer is quick to pounce, he rocks back and nails the pull over deep mid-wicket.

Whar a waste!!!!!!!

In reply to Narper

I done comment…Hety just gave it away…fellas making same blinkin errors with the bat over and over…I missed how Hope got out too…steupse

In reply to Windiesfan78

Indeed

10.5
Maxwell to Hetmyer, no run, Australia don't lose the review.
Australia review! Maxwell and Josh Inglis had a chat about the LBW. Marsh runs in. Has a quick word and they challenge umpire Gregory Brathwaite's decision. Was there an inside edge? No. Over to ball-tracking.. wickets umpire's call. Not Out

10.6
Maxwell to Hetmyer, out Caught by Nathan Ellis!!

Mi glad bag buss if see Shelly Fraser…

And Zampa spoil my joy by getting Roston

13.3
Zampa to Roston Chase, out Bowled!! Dragged on! Zampa has the last laugh. The spinners continue to do well on this surface. All four wickets have fallen to spin. 95.9ks quicker and fuller, Chase tries to repeat the previous shot but only manages an inside edge onto the stumps. Smart bowling by Zampa - last delivery was slower and in the same area, this was quicker and that deceived Chase

Roston Chase b Zampa 16(16) [6s-1]

Sherfane Rutherford, left handed bat, comes to the crease

The constant batting failures by the so called stalwarts ain’t cutting it for me.

Rutherford is a fargin idiot…another big kiss me arse duck!

Listen..I gawn

98/5
Stewwwwps

13.5
Zampa to Rutherford, out Caught by Green!! Second in the over. Zampa is delighted. Poor shot from Rutherford. West Indies have lost half their side now. This is slower from Zampa - 85.1ks tossed up delivery and Rutherford takes the bait, he looks to heave it into the leg-side and miscues it to deep mid-wicket, Green settles under it and takes an easy catch

Rutherford c Green b Zampa 0(2)

In reply to ray

Doesn't mean that we have to throw away the match. We are still in 6 or out mode in t20 cricket, which has evolved.

14.1
Dwarshuis to Russell, SIX, Russell wasting no time - pumps his second ball over the rope. Angled across him and there was room on offer, he extends his hands and launches it down the ground. 77-meter six..

The ball seems to have into some hole near the sightscreen.

Mi just cuss mi Fren, ah ask if mi deh ah cricket ?

Dwarshuis to Russell, SIX, back to back sixes. Not where he intended but Russell will take that. 127.8ks short of length delivery and Russell is rushed on the pull, gets a thick top-edge and the ball sails over fine leg
14.4
Dwarshuis to Russell, SIX, this is classic Russell.

If we don't win this match for Russell, I done with cricket.........

Thanks son

Aussies want to give Russ a good send off. We need to win this

16.3
Nathan Ellis to Powell, 1 run, dropped! Connolly has put down a sitter.

Very classy from the Aussies

16.5
Nathan Ellis to Russell, out Caught by Josh Inglis!! Josh Inglis looks relieved. The ball went miles up and kept swirling, Inglis called for it and he never took his eyes off the ball, manages to hold on. David walks across to shake Russell's hand, Maxwell follows and soon the rest of the Australia team. Russell raises his bat and walks off to a grand ovation from the Jamaica crowd. Slower delivery around off, Russell looks to mow it down the ground but is deceived for the pace, skies it straight up and Inglis calls for it

Russell c Josh Inglis b Nathan Ellis 36(15) [4s-2 6s-4]

WI 139/6 (16.5) CRR: 8.26

Nice cameo from Russell, it will be up to our bowlers to do something special to win this match

Russ will get a fiferr now

Same shot, same out, same position

Same bowler, same fielder

Holder smh

Moti have to save dem man now…again

In reply to Narper

We can only hope Narps, cus watching a carbon copy of Holder getting out is just too much

17.4
Dwarshuis to Holder, out Caught by Maxwell!! West Indies continue to lose wickets regularly.. Holder gets out in almost the similar way as the first T20I. Good length ball angled across him, Holder drags the big shot to the leg-side and does not get it off the middle,

Holder used to hit those balls for six for fun not too long ago. This team has really regressed.

18.1
Nathan Ellis to Powell, FOUR, to sweeper cover

18.2
Nathan Ellis to Powell, out Caught by Green!! This is a big wicket as Powell could have been dangerous with 10 balls remaining. Ellis goes short and into the wicket, the ball does not arrive and Powell miscues the pull over mid-wicket, Green covers ground to his left from deep mid-wicket and hangs on to a good catch

Powell c Green b Nathan Ellis 12(14) [4s-1]

Mitchell Owen to Alzarri Joseph, 1 run, dropped! It has been a very unlike Australia performance in the field. Dwarshius now drops one. Short of length and outside off, Joseph upper cuts it towards deep backward point and Dwarshius comes in, gets both hands and somehow manages to put it down

Well done by the last 2

I think the Aussies will let us win the game. It is the right thing to do

We won this match, watch the ride.

Maxwell and Mitchell Marsh are at the crease.

Maxwell is on strike.

Akeal Hosein will open the attack

0.2
Akeal Hosein to Maxwell, FOUR, and Maxwell brings out the reverse sweep, this was the reaqson he's sent to open - flighted delivery outside off and Maxwell changes the stance, gets enough on the shot and beats backward point to his left

0.3
Akeal Hosein to Maxwell, SIX, back-to-back boundaries for Maxwell - Shai Hope went up to have a chat with his bowler, but it hasn't changed Maxwell's tactics - bends down low, reverses the stance and then hammers it over backward point, this one sails all the way over the ropes

Is Badree Australian?

1.6
Holder to Maxwell, out Caught by Shai Hope!!Edged and caught! A big wicket, the dangerous Maxwell departs, but that'll bring Akleal back into play for the next over. Holder shortens the length and angles one across the right-hander, Maxwell was looking to run it down towards third man, but as he was on the move when playing the shot, he doesn't manage any kind of elevation, a helathy edge and it's a straightforward grab for the keeper.

Maxwell c Shai Hope b Holder 12(10) [4s-1 6s-1]

2.1
Akeal Hosein to Mitchell Marsh, FOUR, thumped, Akeal continues to be expensive - dragged short by Akeal, Marsh picks the length earlt, swivels across and hammers the pull over mid-wicket, one bounce and over the ropes

3.3
Holder to Mitchell Marsh, SIX, to long-off nicely played, change of pace from Holder, was the slower ball, but there's plenty of width on offer - Marsh waits on it and then carves it high over mid-off,s ent it sailing over the ropes for a maximum

Akeal Hosein to Mitchell Marsh, 1 run, was it a chance? Given as a run, so that'll go down as a chance - flat from Akeal, skids on and catches Marsh's inside edge on the pull, grazes Shai Hope's gloves and drops to the on-side. A half-chance at best, but West Indies need those to stick

42/1

5.1
Alzarri Joseph to Mitchell Marsh, SIX, beautifully played, short of a good length and just outside off - Marsh waits it and then drags the pull over deep backward square leg, sails over the short boundary for a 58m hit

42/2, Joseph gets Marsh!

5.3
Alzarri Joseph to Mitchell Marsh, out Caught by Shai Hope!! He's edged this one for sure, it' a massive top-edge - Shai Hope calls for the catch, runs towards square leg and then holds on with his big gloves. West Indies keeping themselves interested with timely strikes. On a length and just outside off - it wasn't there for the pull, Marsh stayed on the front-foot and then swivlled across as he looked to use Alzarri's pace, gets a steepling top-edge, high into the KIngston sky - Shai Hope had Akeal in his eyesight, but it was his clear and he ensured that he didn't drop it

6.1
Motie to Green, 1 run, to mid-on

2 dropped catches

6.2
Motie to Josh Inglis, 3 runs, an ugly swipe, it's Andre Russell under the skier, and he's put it down - tossed up on off, drifts in and then spins away, lures Inglis into the big drive, the bat-face turned on impact and he skewed it high over cover. Russell ran back, kept his eyes on the ball and seemed to have it covered, but the ball moves away and he then can't get to it on the lunge, tips it off the palm

In reply to Windiesfan78

2 by Russell alone.

6.3
Motie to Green, no run, another chance and Motie has put it down now, West Indes can't afford to miss chances, half-chance at best, needed to stick, but it didn't - flat and on off, Green went back and drilled it to the right of the bowler, Motie got both hands and let it burst out

Looks like Motie has injured himself while going for the catch and the physio is out having a look

6.5
Motie to Green, no run, another chance and it once again goes in waste, Motie is left frustrated - lovely bit of bowling, tossed up slower around middle, drew Green into an almighty slog, spun across the right-hander and caught the edge. It went high and to Shai Hope's right, but he needed to be better, grabbed at that and shelled it, can't get around on the rebound either

6.6
Motie to Green, FOUR, , too straight from Motie, slides down low and Green helps it on its way with a fine sweep, beats short fine to his right and races away

Gudakesh Motie

7.1
Alzarri Joseph to Josh Inglis, SIX, cracking shot, banged in short by Alzarri - Inglis gets inside the line, uses the pace on the ball and helps it on its way with a wristy pull, high into the stands at long leg

Alzarri Joseph to Josh Inglis, FOUR, to deep backward point

Easy win fah OZ Windies bat and bowl crap!

Not with Joseph bowling so brain dead. Diwn legside down legside nonsense.

So $ammy at the ground afterall.

Players should be inspired.

This team is just poor, when Hosein can't take wickets, you know we are in trouble. It is painful watching this team.

11.2
Russell to Josh Inglis, FOUR, oh my! This is incredible. Not a bad delivery and almost travels the distance. Very full and close to yorker length, Inglis bends down and reverse laps it over short third, just bounces inside the rope
11.1
Russell to Josh Inglis, SIX, Russell greeted with a massive six. Fifty for Inglis. He's got there in just 22 balls. Full and right in the slot, Inglis does not need a second invite in this kind of form, he pumps it with a clean strike over long-off and it is one of the biggest of the night - 98 meters. The umpires call for a replacement.. Meanwhile, Shai Hope is having a word with Russell

This should be Russell's first and last over.

11.3
Russell to Josh Inglis, FOUR, Inglis wants to get this over with quickly. Slower back of a length delivery, Inglis lined-up for the scoop and he had to delay his shot,
11.3
Russell to Josh Inglis, wide, 133.9ks strays down leg, Inglis misses the glance and it is called a wide

Holder to Josh Inglis, 1 run, dropped! Another one goes down. West Indies have been ordinary in the field. Short of length angled across, Inglis looks to pull and gets it high on the bat, the ball balloons over Holder and he calls for it, runs back and just gets fingertips to it. He had ample time to get there and take it but just couldn't

13.3
Holder to Green, SIX, over a leaping Russell. Full toss close to off, Green hammers it flat and towards long-on.

13.5
Holder to Josh Inglis, SIX, to fine leg, the partnership between Josh Inglis and Green is now

13.6
Holder to Josh Inglis, FOUR, just gets bad to worse in the field for West Indies. Hetmyer allows one through his grasp. Full and angled across, Inglis slices the loft in front of square and Hetmyer gets across from sweeper, tumbles but fails to keep the ball inside

Alzarri Joseph to Josh Inglis, SIX, whoa! There might be some bigger players than him in this game but he has hit some of the biggest sixes tonight. Back of a length delivery and at Joseph's pace it just sits up, Inglis does not hold back on the heave and smashes it over wide long-on. 90-meter maximum..
