        square leg
  86.2 Walsh to MacGill, OUT: and that's a pair for MacGill, his batting
        has looked far worse than McGrath's. angling in slightly, pitches
        on off and then straightens, knocks off stump out of the ground,
        macGill was trying to defend

       Australia 261/10, Partnership of 4
       SCG MacGill  b Walsh  0 (2b 0x4 0x6)
       CA Walsh 25.2-2-67-4 (3nb)

       after wandering aimlessly for about 8 overs, WI have struck back to
        collect the final 3 wickets in 9 balls
       they now require 364 runs to win the match
       and keep in mind that both Trini Tests last year were won by 3
        wickets with the side chasing the highest total of the match to
        win

   0.1 McGrath to Campbell, no run, loosener down the off side, seams away

   0.4 McGrath to Campbell, no run, straight and outside the off stump,

End of over 1 (0 runs) West Indies 0/0 (364 more runs req)
GD McGrath 1-1-0-0

       very scratchy first over
       1st slip, 2nd slip, 4th slip, gully, forward short leg, cover, mid
        on, mid off, and probably a fine leg

   1.1 Gillespie to Ragoonath, no run, defends
   1.2 Gillespie to Ragoonath, no run, taps it to the gully
   1.3 Gillespie to Ragoonath, one run, taps it off the hip to long leg

        bounce found, travels over the top of the started defence shot

SL Campbell 0* (11b) S Ragoonath 2* (7b)

       not the best of bowling from Australia so far

   3.1 Gillespie to Ragoonath, no run, batsman in an awful mess, seemed to
        be trying to playing to fine leg, missed, into the pad, dead in
        front, big appeal, not out, maybe some edge, maybe too high
   3.2 Gillespie to Ragoonath, no run
   3.3 Gillespie to Ragoonath, no run, way overpitched, clips the knee,
        and an excellent save of 4 leg byes by healy diving to his left
   3.4 Gillespie to Ragoonath, no run, defends on the on side
   3.5 Gillespie to Ragoonath, no run, another quick one, Healy collects
        it in front of his chest

End of over 4 (0 runs) West Indies 2/0 (362 more runs req)
JN Gillespie 2-1-1-0
SL Campbell 0* (11b) S Ragoonath 2* (13b)

       none of the adventure and daring to be found in the West Indian
        openers this innings
       which are euphemisms for madness and recklessness

   4.1 McGrath to Campbell, no run, to the keeper

End of over 5 (0 runs) West Indies 2/0 (362 more runs req)
GD McGrath 3-2-1-0
SL Campbell 0* (17b) S Ragoonath 2* (13b)

       with 2 runs off 5 overs, perhaps they are going for the draw

   5.1 Gillespie to Ragoonath, no run, lovely outseamer after pitching on
        the off stump, misses the outside edge, best ball of the innings

   5.3 Gillespie to Ragoonath, no run, defends onto the on side
   5.4 Gillespie to Ragoonath, no run, bangs the pad outside the off
        stump, the ball is too wide to even hit that
   5.5 Gillespie to Ragoonath, no run, another terrific ball, the
        outswinger this time, has rags clutching and missing at some
        straight defence
   5.6 Gillespie to Ragoonath, no run, 3rd consecutive maiden

End of over 6 (0 runs) West Indies 2/0 (362 more runs req)

        the square leg MacGill
   7.3 Gillespie to Campbell, OUT: Campbell models the effort of Elliott

End of over 8 (5 runs) West Indies 8/1 (356 more runs req)
JN Gillespie 4-2-6-1
DRE Joseph 5* (3b) S Ragoonath 2* (23b)

       replays showed that it would've been not out with the direct hit
        anyway
       that last ball wrecked an otherwise excellent over from Gillespie,
        he's better easily the better of the 2 bowlers in this innings

   8.2 McGrath to Joseph, no run, defends on the back foot watchfully back
        to the bowler
   8.3 McGrath to Joseph, no run

        Blewett has a ping at the non-striker's end, that's the 2nd 5 he's
        given away today
  15.4 Gillespie to Ambrose, no run, another bouncer
  15.5 Gillespie to Ambrose, no run, beats him outside the off stump
  15.6 Gillespie to Ambrose, one run, clunky mistimed shot thru the covers

JN Gillespie 8-3-18-3
+RD Jacobs 12* (16b 1x4) CEL Ambrose 1* (3b)

  16.1 McGrath to Ambrose, one run, quick single into the covers, Blewett
        fields and has a good run out chance at the non-striker's end. Was
        way too slow releasing and Ambrose is declared in by the TV umpire
  16.2 McGrath to Jacobs, FOUR, pull shot, too square for the 3rd man,
        good shot
  16.3 McGrath to Jacobs, one run, taps it into the covers
  16.4 McGrath to Ambrose, no run, slow ball down the leg side, Ambrose
        nearly snicked it to the keeper
  16.5 McGrath to Ambrose, FOUR, loose outside the off stuff, snicked just
        over the top of the 3rd slip
       Elliott was the fielder jumping
  16.6 McGrath to Ambrose, OUT: pitches on middle/leg, keeps low and hits
        the pads in line with the off stump, Curtley didn't stand a chance

       West Indies 47/7, Partnership of 16
       CEL Ambrose  lbw b McGrath  6 (7b 1x4 0x6)

       Australia must be looking to finish it off just with the 2 bowlers

  17.1 Gillespie to Jacobs, no run, taps it to Blewett at cover point, he
        gets one right and throws down the striker's end, Dillon doesn't
        even get to face a ball in this shambles

       West Indies 47/8, Partnership of 0

  18.1 McGrath to Jacobs, no run, around the wicket, left alone
  18.2 McGrath to Jacobs, two runs, good pull behind square
  18.3 McGrath to Jacobs, OUT: angling in from outside off stump, into the
        pad in line with off stump, Jacobs trying to play forward
        defensive

       West Indies 49/9, Partnership of 2
       +RD Jacobs  lbw b McGrath  19 (22b 2x4 0x6)

  18.6 McGrath to Walsh, no run

End of over 19 (4 runs) West Indies 51/9 (313 more runs req)
GD McGrath 10-3-28-5
PT Collins 0* (5b) CA Walsh 2* (3b)

  19.1 Gillespie to Collins, OUT: trying to pull it, doesn't quite achieve
        it, middle stump knocked out of the ground, the carnage is over
        for now

       West Indies 51/10, Partnership of 2
       PT Collins  b Gillespie  0 (6b 0x4 0x6)
       JN Gillespie 9.1-4-18-4

       that's the alltime lowest score for the Wets Indies in Test cricket
       Australia wins the Test by 312 runs
       I'm lost for words, if anyone can send in some synonyms for
        "shambles" it would be much appreciated
       presentations being made
       Lara with his finger on the pulse: "it's pretty clear our batting
        is the problem"
       Steve Waugh: "I thought it was a great team performance"
       Man of the Match is McGrath, best match bowling in Tests, plus his
        best batting in First-class cricket
       Steve Waugh just said that McGrath still has to prove himself
        before he gets elevated to # 10
       next Test is at Sabina Park on Saturday, starting at 1500 GMT, join
        us then for what should be Lara's last Test in charge
