Shane Watson Century against West Indies in 3rd ODI helps the Aussies win series
West Indies after loosing both of their previous matches against Australia looked to threaten the Aussies in their third encounter.After a Shane Watson Century the Aussies were likely to post a huge total against the West Indies.
The Aussies made a huge score with Shane Watson scoring 122 runs of 111 balls,Phillip Hughes scoring 86 runs of 95 balls and George Bailey who carried on his form from the last match scored 44 of just 22 balls to push the total to 329.
When West Indies came to bat they started off quite well scoring 54 runs in just around 8 overs before their first wicket fell.
Dwayne and Darren Bravo held the innings together making a score of 86 and 51 respectively and at one point it looked as if the West Indies might just chase the target down but after their wickets fell apart from Andre Russel who made 43 no one else was able to threaten the target.
Australia now have a unattainable lead of 3-0 lead and have won the series with 2 matches still to go.
Shane Watson Century was the highlight of the match and earned him the man of the match award.
