West Indies so close yet so far

The cricket match held between West Indies and Australia was very different from what i expected.The West Indies dominated their batting making a huge target of 190 plus runs.It looked like they might have this match in the bag but the Australian's came all guns blazing and made 100 runs in around 9 overs and to make matters worst for the west indies it started pouring heavily which made the Aussies win by the D/L method.West Indies played some awesome cricket yesterday and deserved to win the way they batted but it was not their day as far as bowling was concerned.If they can make a few tweaks within their game they can definitely be one of those tough teams in the tournament.Below is the full scorecard for the match.
