Australia held nerves to win Women's World Twenty20

COLOMBO, Sri Lanka (Sun, Oct. 07) - Australia successfully defended the title of Women's World Twenty20 Champions beating favorites England by 4 runs today here at R Premadasa Stadium, Colombo.

Australia held nerves to win Women's World Twenty20

Australia held their nerves in the last moments of the match, when England were pretty close to get the target of 143.

Unfortunately this is only the second game England have lost all year, but it happens to be the World Cup final.

Ealier, after being invited to bat first on a dry pitch, the reigning title holder made 142/4 from its 20 overs.

JE Cameron was named player of the match for her brilliant knock of 45 runs off just 34 balls, hitting 5 boundaries and the only six from Australia.

Later on the day; Sri Lanka will face West Indies in the ICC World T20 final on the same venue.

Video Highlights: Chris Gayle's Gangnam Style Dance after WI beat Aus by 74 runs

Explosive West Indian batsman Chris Gayle not only performed with the bat, but also amused his team mates and cricket fans with his unique "Gangnam Style" dance after his team reaches in maiden final of ICC World Twenty20 the other night, beating mighty Australian by a huge margin of 74 runs.

Chris Gayle's Gangnam Style Dance after WI beat Aus by 74 runs

West Indies will now meet unbeaten hosts Sri Lanka tomorrow (SUNDAY).

The brutal left-hander Chris Gayle smashed a blistering unbeaten 75 off just 41 balls and played a key role in a crushing 74-run victory over a listless Australia at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo on Friday. Gayle hit five fours and half a dozen of towering sixes as West Indies made a mockery of Aussie attack.

Throughout the ongoing tournament Gayle has been doing his own version of a wacky dance from worldwide sensation for South Korean musician Park Jae-Sang.

Last night Gayle used it to celebrate in his own unique style.

Chris Gayle's Gangnam Style Dance after WI beat Aus by 74 runs

“It just happens, to be honest, it wasn't really planned,” Gayle said after last night’s victory.

“That's me, it depends what type of mood I'm in. I'll just do something crazy and it's a good dance, everyone enjoys it.”

Opting to bat earlier, Gayle literally butchered the Australian bowlers with a 41-ball 75-run innings as West Indies notched up 205 for four, which incidentally is the highest total of this edition.

The Caribbean team then returned to skittle out Australia for a paltry 131 with 3.2 overs to spare to set up a summit clash with Sri Lanka on Sunday.

Australian skipper George Bailey did put up a fight with a 29-ball 63, which was laced with six fours and four sixes but he was let down by the other batsmen, who returned to the pavilion without much to show.

Leg-break bowler Samuel Badree (2/27) removed openers David Warner (1) and Shane Watson (7) in his first three overs, while Marlon Samuels got rid of Mike Hussey (18) as Australia were tottering at 42 for three after the six overs of Powerplay ended.

Ravi Rampaul then removed Cameron White (5) and David Hussey (0) within a space of three deliveries to make it 42 for five.

On a strip where Gayle and Co made batting look easy, the Australians were all at sea. Both Watson and Warner tried to play shots which can't be played when the ball keeps low while Mike Hussey was consumed by the slowness of the track.

David Hussey was rusty and others simply didn't have it in them to put up a fight.

Earlier, Gayle hit five fours and half a dozen of towering sixes as West Indies made a mockery of Aussie attack.

Marlon Samuels with 26, Dwayne Bravo with a 31-ball-37 and last but not the least Kieron Pollard (38, 15 balls, 3x4, 3x6) also matched Gayle stroke for stroke to help West Indies cross the 200-mark.

Left-arm spinner Xavier Doherty, who had looked unplayable on the same track during Super Eights, was hammered for 48 runs in his three overs including 25 from the final one which had four sixes. Half of the 14 sixes in West Indies innings were hit off Doherty's bowling.

Teams have often complained about the Premadasa track and difficulty in stroke-making but Gayle showed that if you have brute power, then nature of pitches become irrelevant.

The decision to promote Marlon Samuels up the order also partially paid off as he didn't take much time to settle down before he started tonking the bowlers.

Samuels during his brief stay smashed 26 off 20 balls including a six each off left-arm spin duo of Doherty and Brad Hogg. He was deceived by a slower delivery from Pat Cummins, which send him back to the dug-out.

Gayle-Samuels had put on 41 runs in only 4.3 overs in which Samuels was the dominant partner.

Gayle, on the otherhand, hit his first six off Shane Watson over long-off and the second one came off Doherty's bowling as it went sailing into the deep mid-wicket stand.

The third six off Doherty was another straight one but the standout one certainly was the fourth six hit of David Hussey's bowling. The ball just soared into the upper tier in the deep mid-wicket region.

Bravo, on the otherhand, had settled down nicely as he first chanced his arms against Watson hitting over long on boundary and then pulled a short one from Hogg over mid-wicket region for another six. The 100 came up in the 12.5 overs and the 50 partnership off 35 balls.

The big-bodied Jamaican completed his third half century of the tournament of 29 deliveries when he hit a boundary off David Hussey.

Bravo lifted Cummins for his third six but perished immediately when he failed to get elevation of a fuller delivery from the bowler and was caught at the edge of the 30-yard circle.

Gayle-Bravo conjured 83 runs in less than nine overs but more importantly nullified the two left-arm spinners attacking them with great gutso. When Bravo was out, West Indies had reached 140 and a commendable total was just there in sight.

India v Australia (3rd Test) Perth -- Australia crushed India by an innings and 37 runs

PERTH, Australia (Jan. 15) – India were outclassed by a huge margin of an innings and 37 runs in the third test against Australia just concluded at WACA, Perth. 

Rahul Dravid was bowled yet again, as Australia made inroads before lunch to put themselves on course for a victory

 The nightmarish run of men in blue continues in Australia as they crumbled for 171 in the second innings of the third test falling short of 37 runs from Australia’s first innings score of 369.

At lunch on day three in Perth, India were tottering at 165-6 in their second innings, still 43 away from Australia's first-innings total of 369. Virat Kohli was unbeaten on 69, with debutant Vinay Kumar on six.

The only resistance came from Virat Kohli and Rahul Dravid; but once Dravid clean bowled by Harris, yet again, it looked like over for the tourists. Kohli was the highest runs getter in the second innings with his well-made 75, Dravid made 47 while no other batsmen succeeded to reach the double figure other than openers Gautam Gambhir (14) and Virender Sehwag (10).

There appeared to be a shadow of doubt in Sachin Tendulkar's mind about the second LBW appeal that was upheld against him in this match, but umpire Aleem Dar had none. Subsequent TV replays confirmed that even DRS would not have helped the maestro as Mitchell Starc's in-swinging delivery would have shaved the leg stump.

Gambhir was unlucky to get a short, rising delivery from Starc, but Sehwag resembled a strokeless wonder whose shots have all been stolen by Warner. And with Laxman emulating Don Bradman by departing for a duck in what should be his last Test innings, the rebuilding process can be fast tracked to the Adelaide Test.

Hilfenhaus grabbed four wickets yet again in the second innings, while Siddle and Starc contributed with 4 wickets and 3 wickets respectively to keep Australia on the course of victory.

This is seventh successive defeat for Dhoni’s men on foreign soil. Australia are now leading the 4-match series by 3-0 and poised for a clean sweep.

Video Highlights: New Zealand claimed dramatic and historical victory over Australia in Hobart Test

HOBART, Pakistan (Dec. 12) – Doug Bracewell, the promising Kiwi pacer, grabbed six wickets in a destructive spell of bowling to lead New Zealand to a spectacular first test victory over mighty Australian since 1993. They won the second test by just seven runs on Monday.

New Zealand pacer claimed 6-40 in his devastating spell

This is not only the first Test victory for New Zealand against Australia since 1993 but the first on Australian soil since 1985. Most importantly they squared the 2-Test series after the hosts won the opening Test in Brisbane by huge margin of nine wickets.

The Black Caps claimed last eight Australian wickets for 74 runs to claim a sensational victory midway through the fourth day of an extraordinary Test match at Bellerive Oval.

Australia, requiring 241 for victory on the day four of the 2nd test, had appeared to be approaching te target quite easily courtesy to the maiden Test ton by David Warner until Bracewell (6-40) helped send them tumbling from 159 for two to 233 all out. David Warner stood unbeaten on 123 at the end.

Australia Crushed the Hosts Sri Lanka by 7 Wickets in 1st ODI

Sri Lankan Players Congratulated Michael Clarke (53*)

Mitchell Johnson's career-best six wickets and Shane Watson's aggressive innings of 69 runs led Australia to a seven-wicket victory in the opening one-day international against Sri Lanka on Wednesday.

Johnson's left-arm seamers claimed 6-31 to restrict Sri Lanka to a modest 191, with lower-order batsman Suraj Randiv top-scoring with a six and four boundaries in 41 runs at Pallekele International Stadium.

Watson then hit six sixes and five boundaries to help Australia to its first win of the tour after having lost both Twenty20 matches to Sri Lanka, assisted by half-centuries from captain Michael Clarke (53 not out) and former skipper Ricky Ponting (53).

"I think we are off to a fantastic start in this series," Clarke said. "Mitchell bowled beautifully and executed his skill very well today. We've got a long way to go I think today is just a start."

Sri Lanka captain Tillakaratne Dilshan blamed bad batting for his team's loss.

"We took some bad options. We batted badly, a total of 250 would have been handy for the spinners," Dilshan said.

Batting first after winning the toss, Sri Lanka made a steady start with Upul Tharanga and Dilshan taking the total to 54 runs.

Tharanga, who was back in the side after serving a suspension for using a banned substance at this year's World Cup, hit seven boundaries for 34 runs before being bowled by left-arm spinner Xavier Doherty.

Offspinner David Hussey had Dilshan caught by Doug Bollinger for 29 with the total on 76.

Johnson entered the fray and had Mahela Jayawardene caught behind for 3 before running through the middle and lower order.

He also took the crucial wickets of Kumar Sangakkara (16), Dinesh Chandimal (15), Jeevan Mendis (2) and Randiv in eclipsing his previous best figures of 5-26 against India in 2007.

Australian openers Brad Haddin and Watson shared 59 runs before Haddin was bowled by spinner Ajantha Mendis for 12.

Watson was caught by Jayawardene off spinner Randiv after facing only 51 balls.

Clarke and Ponting put on 101 for the third wicket to ensure victory. Ponting hit five boundaries in 71 balls, while Clarke hit only one boundary in a measured knock.

The next ODI in the five-match series is on Sunday at Hambantota.

India v Australia - Australia's Dream Run in World Cups Over 12 Year Ended by India

AHMEDABAD – Australia’s dream run in the World Cups spread over the 12 years or so ended by, I would say, Yuvraj Singh rather than India.  

India thrashed defending champions today by 5 wickets in the second quarterfinal of this World Cup; setting up a big semi-final clash with archrivals ‘Pakistan’, already qualified beating West Indies yesterday. 

It was looking impossible to get to the target of 261 once Indian skipper MS Dhoni (7) threw his wicket and India was struggling on 187/5; but that was all for the Aussies as Yuvraj Singh (57*) and Suresh Raina (34*) led India to an easy victory in the end in 47^th over.

Sachin Tendulkar and Gautam Gambhir also played a handy knocks of 50 odd runs; while Virender Sehwag and Virat Kohli contributed with 15 and 24 runs respectively.

Earlier, Australia won the toss and elected to bat first. Skipper Ricky Ponting looked in good nick first time in this world cup and completed his century; but couldn’t last long after that and fell on 104 runs. Other significant contributions came from Brad Haddin (53) and David Hussey (38*).

Ravichandran Ashwin, Zaheer Khan and Yuvraj Singh picked up 2 wickets each.
