ICC World Twenty20:Semi Finals:West Indies Vs Australia
Everyone knows Chris Gayle can dismantle any bowling attack in the world and he certainly proved it today the way he batted against Australia.He helped West Indies to a total of 205 which is the highest of the tournament.Australia has a very weak middle order(Even though George Bailey gave some hope today) as they have never been tested.They have always massively depended on their first three Shane Watson,Dave Warner and Mike Hussey as whenever they performed well Australia were able to win the match easily.They didnt fire today and guess what Australia at a point struggled to a point where they were 43/5.Even when we take their match against West Indies,India or against South Africa it was one of their top three who clicked.I don't think Australia are even close to the team they were earlier where they were unbeatable under the captaincy of Ricky Ponting or waugh brothers.On the other hand its a good surprise that West Indies have become such a tough team.Below is the full scorecard.
