Hussey gone for 9, he must be feeling the pressure now.

Hayden is marching on - deserves to be there at the end now - great innings from him again.

Hayden rattles up the 150 mark - fantastic effort from him - considering he was 1 run from 19 deliveries and now 153 from 140.

I think Hussey is beyond feeling pressure now. He will probably go through this World Cup without reaching double figures with everyone clamouring what a wonderful finisher he is. I think Lasith Malinga's hairstyle makes more sense.

Whats going on with Mark Nicholas? He makes ian healy sound impartial!! The boys obviously gone native. Don't let him back in the mother country I say

I mentioned this in the Ashes 2006. The man clearly is begging to be Australian, and I say let him, no great loss.

Aussies finished at 322 for 6. That's going to take some chasing, especially if they get Gayle early. Watson is showing potential as a genuine all rounder. Before you lot criticise his bowling, please look at Flintoff before 2003 when he was struggling as well. Oz have to make do with what they have.

if Gayle, Lara and Chanderpaul all hit their stride, it's possible to chase that score.

If those three hit their stride together, the Windies can chase any score. But they seldom seem to.

but as they say cricket is a funny old game. Who knows.

Windies reply rained off and so they play 50 overs tomorrow for the full 323 target. Apart from the fairness of it, it also answers the question whether the extra standby day was available for the Super 8s and beyond.

The artificial D-L targets can be a double edged sword. Windies were originally given a revised target of 163 in 20 overs. Although this involved a run rate of over 8 per over as opposed to the 6.45 posted by the Aussies, Windies might still have been at an advantage. With 10 wickets in hand over only 20 overs, they could have taken more risks and gone hell for leather and got to the target.
