Aus vs WI-3rd test, day5: Australia Wins Frank Worrell Trophy..

On the final day of the final test against West Indies…Australia finished the formalities of grabbing the last wicket which was hanging on since overnight…to win the series 2-0. They also carved their name on the Frank Worrell Trophy.

West Indies resuming at their overnight score of 308 for 9…needing 51 more runs for a possibly unlikely victory with one wicket in hand…were bundled out for 323 after 15 runs were added. The last pair put on a fighting 44 run partnership…which was never enough. Australia rejoiced when in the 95th over Bollinger had Roach caught behind by Haddin for 17 runs. Though it was a controversial decision…it favoured Aussies. Australia won the match by 35 runs. Tonge remained unbeaten on 23 runs. Australia thus won the series 2-0 as the 2nd match was a draw. Bollinger and Johnson were the pick of the bowlers for Australia with 3 wickets each.

Chris Gayle…showing a lone battle with guts and character was declared Man Of the Match and also Man of the Series for his consistent performance with the bat. This was the lone compliment that West Indies would carry from this series. What a batsman!!!

Congrats and well done Australia………..! Champions again……
