leg side ball which he glances, Haddin dives and takes a ripper of a catch diving to his left. Haddin has kept well this game and that's it - Australia home and hosed by an innings and 65 runs, leading 1-nil.
Australia vs West Indies, 1st Test at Brisbane, Nov 26 2009 - Ball by Ball Commentary
There you have it - Australia too strong in all departments. The choice for Man of the Match will be interesting given the efforts today of Adrian Barath, who made 104 in wonderful fashion as a 19 year old on debut. I am sure most at the ground would have no qualms if he received the honour.
A good even effort by the Australians, hopefully for the sake of the series the West Indies can regroup and hit some better form in Adelaide on Friday. Youngster Barath is being interviewed by Ian Healy on TV and is speaking very well for a youngster, no doubt still buzzing after his hundred.
News on the Man of the Match is that Ben Hilfenahus has received the award for his figures of his 2/50 and 3/20 - cheers from Brisbane and join us in Adelaide for the Second Test on Friday from the Adelaide Oval
his brief resistance comes to an end as he tries some sort of pull shot, gets a leading edge and Hussey wanders around and holds the catch in the gully area - as they say, the end is nigh
a lifter, takes the shoulder of the bat over the right side of Haddin, nasty ball that
parries at one outside, has no luck in making contact
plays back again in defence - the ball going into the off side
goes back and across in defence, playing up the on side
pulls out to deep square leg, nicely played big the big left hander
plays back in defence, good resistance so far from Roach
defends to the off side
I think Benn just told Rauf that he hit that sweep
pushes forward and takes a single to deep point
comes forward and defends to cover
sweeps fine, looked like he got an under edge to it, but leg byes called
comes forward in defence
short and is pulled out to deep mid wicket
lofts a drive over mid off/cover, safely enough
forces off the back foot to mid off - with some power
ducks a bouncer
defends off the back foot, dug in a bit as he played well back
drives hard and edges through the slips - good luck to him, there is little to play for here at the moment by the Windies
Siddle returns to try and join the other wicket takers in this innings. I reckpn Hilfenhaus might have a better option given he needs two for five wicket haul
outside off again, pads up through to Haddin
