Australia vs West Indies, 1st Match at Kuala Lumpur, , Sep 12 2006 - Ball by Ball Commentary

That's it, its all over. Australia have won. Fullish delivery in the channel outside the offstump, angling away and Smith, the last hope for West Indies, pushed at it, got an edge and Hadding pouched it with glee. Bracken turns to appeal, gets the nod he was looking for, turns, and runs over to his teammates to join in the celebratory huddle.

Smith fishes at one outside the off stump and is beaten.

fullish on the leg stump line, worked to right of mid-on

lovely slower ball to finish the over. It looped up on the off stump line and then dipped rapidly, catching Edwards by surprise. He hangs his bat out, and luckily, for him the ball pops over the short cover fielder.

overpitched on the off and middle stump line, driven to cover

And then they were one. Yorker, right on the middle stump line, disturbs the furniture as Taylor goes for a cover drive, the bat slicing through thin air as the cherry evades it to crash into the middle.

Australia are all over the West Indians. Full, fast, and straightens after pitching on the middle stump. Bradshaw is caught plumb in front as he tries to whip it across the line.

short of length delivery, outside the off stump, Smith pushes at it, gets an thick outside edge and McGrath, at third-man, moves smartly to his left to make the stop.

fullish on the leg and middle, beats an attempted flick shot and thuds into the pads.

Another one goes..... Wicket no 7 falls. Wide outside the off stump and Baugh gets a brain-explosion: throws his bat at it, only to get a faint nick behind and huge smiles erupt in the Australian faces as Haddin gloves it comfortably.

lands on a length, around the off stump and goes with the angle, Baugh pushes at it but stays inside the line of the ball.

fullish and outside the off stump, Baugh goes back and across, covers his stumps and shoulders arms

short of length, on the middle and off, Baugh hops back and taps it to the on side.

angled across the off stump, left alone.

The pull shot leads to his demise again. Sarwan pulls a shortish ball, fetching it from outside the offstump, doesn't get much meat behind it and it goes to right of Ponting at short midwicket who takes a couple of steps and then dives to take a good smart catch. Advantage Australia.

banged in short and on the leg stump line, Sarwan tries to pull but gloves it and the ball pops over the stumps and rolls to the wicketkeeper.

short of length, on the off and middle, Sarwan stays beside the line, and taps it out towards cover

this one kept low. Sarwan brings his bat down in time to keep it away.

drifting onto the pads, tries to tickle it away, doesn't connect and the ball runs off the pads to Haddin. Sarwan wants a run, Smith doesn't and sends the striker back into his crease.
