  • Sulieman Benn23 (26b)

  • Nathan Bracken9-0-32-0
  • Brett Lee7-1-25-1

18:00pm Australia win by 63 runs (D/L method) and go 2-0 up in the five-game series. West Indies were never in the chase after Lee struck first ball and Gayle went soon after, triggering a spate of silly shots. Chasing 213 wasn't easy on this tough track but West Indies really blew it. Chanderpaul notches up another unbeaten score, this time 45 off 77 balls. Injuries didn't help West Indies.

Clarke is the Man of the Match for his half-century and three wickets.

Thats it from Brydon, scorer Raju and myself tonight. Do come back and see us for game three on June 29 at 09:30 local, 13:30 GMT. This is Jamie Alter signing off. Cheers!
