ICC World Twenty20 2012 – Semi Final 2
Australia v West Indies
Fri 5 Oct 2012, 02:30pm BST, 07:00pm local
West Indies win by 74 runs
| West Indies | 205-4 (20 ovs) |
|---|---|
| Australia | 131 (16.4 ovs) |
Over 17. 4 runs. Bowler: Ravi Rampaul. Australia: 131/10(rr 7.71)
OUT! Bowled. Rampaul to Starc. Length ball, to leg on the front foot Slog, missed. The West Indies are dancing as Starc is cleaned up by Rampaul, and it's a huge victory for the boys from the carribean. Australia didn't have much chance of chasing down the 206 set by the West Indies in the first place, but once they were 43-6, all hope was lost. George Bailey played nicely but it was all in vain, and so it will be the hosts Sri Lanka versus West Indies in the final on Sunday. Chris Gayle is man of the match.
Rampaul to Doherty. Back of a length, to leg on the back foot working, bat-pad to backward point for 3 runs, overthrow by Gayle.
Rampaul to Doherty. Short, down leg side ducked, left to wicketkeeper for no runs, fielded by Ramdin.
Rampaul to Starc. Half volley, off stump on the front foot driving, mis-timed to mid on for 1 run, fielded by Samuels.
Over 16. 6 runs. Bowler: Sunil Narine. Australia: 127/9(rr 7.94)
FOUR! Narine to Doherty. Off break half volley, off stump on the front foot driving, well timed in the air under control past deep extra cover for 4 runs.
Narine to Doherty. Off break half volley, off stump on the front foot reverse sweeping, missed to wicketkeeper for no runs, fielded by Ramdin.
Narine to Doherty. Off break back of a length, to leg on the back foot pushing, well timed to deep cover for 2 runs, fielded by Charles.
Narine to Doherty. Off break length ball, down leg side on the front foot reverse sweeping, hit pad to leg gully for no runs. Two slips in for Doherty. This game is over.
Narine to Doherty. Carrom ball back of a length, middle stump on the back foot defending, to silly mid on for no runs.
OUT! Stumped. Narine to Hogg. Off break length ball, to leg down the track cutting, missed to wicketkeeper, fielded by Ramdin. Hogg used his feet but missed the ball after a late decision to cut the ball. Ramdin was quick as lightning to whip the bails off and Hogg walked. The third umpire had a look to confirm it and Hogg was quite close to getting a toe in, but he was still out of his crease so Australia lose their ninth wicket.
Over 15. 8 runs. Bowler: Ravi Rampaul. Australia: 121/8(rr 8.07)
Rampaul to Hogg. Half volley, down leg side backing away flick, well timed to deep mid wicket for 1 run, fielded by Samuels.
Rampaul to Hogg. Off cutter back of a length, to leg backing away cutting, bottom edge to slips for 2 runs, overthrow by Gayle.
Wide Rampaul to Hogg. Back of a length, down leg side moves in front glancing, missed to wicketkeeper for no runs, fielded by Ramdin.
Rampaul to Hogg. Length ball, down leg side no foot movement working, well timed to deep mid wicket for 2 runs, fielded by Russell.
Rampaul to Hogg. Short, down leg side swayed away, left to wicketkeeper for no runs, fielded by Ramdin.
Rampaul to Starc. Back of a length, down leg side backing away working, hit body to short extra cover for no runs.
Rampaul to Hogg. Seaming away back of a length, to leg backing away cutting, well timed to third man for 1 run, fielded by Badree.
Over 14. 6 runs. Bowler: Kieron Pollard. Australia: 113/8(rr 8.07)
Pollard to Hogg. Length ball, middle stump on the front foot glancing, well timed to fine leg for 1 run.
Pollard to Starc. Short, to leg on the back foot pulling, well timed to deep mid wicket for 1 run.
APPEAL! Pollard to Starc. Half volley, outside off stump on the front foot driving, missed to wicketkeeper for no runs, fielded by Russell, appeal made for Caught. A humourous appeal but an appeal nonetheless. Starc was nowhere near edging that but it was worth a shout for the hat-trick.
OUT! Caught. Pollard to Cummins. Back of a length, outside off stump backing away Slog, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled to mid off, fielded by Charles. Cummins goes for a heave and he just hits it straight up in the air. Kieron Pollard is on a hat-trick.
OUT! Caught. Pollard to Bailey. Off cutter length ball, outside off stump on the front foot Slog, well timed in the air under control to deep mid wicket, fielded by Russell. Bailey's heroics are over, Russell taking the important catch comfortably. He was looking for his fifth maximum of the innings but he couldn't find the middle of the bat. Mitchell Starc is the next batsman in.
FOUR! Pollard to Bailey. Length ball, outside off stump on the front foot Slog, top edge in the air uncontrolled past third man for 4 runs.
99 to win off 42, and despite Bailey's fantastic innings here it still looks like this game is only going to finish with a West Indies victory.
Over 13. 11 runs. Bowler: Darren Sammy. Australia: 107/6(rr 8.23)
Sammy to Cummins. Off cutter yorker, off stump on the front foot flick, well timed to mid wicket for 2 runs, fielded by Pollard.
Sammy to Cummins. Off cutter length ball, outside off stump no foot movement flick, mis-timed back to bowler for no runs, fielded by Sammy.
Sammy to Bailey. Slower ball half volley, off stump no foot movement pushing, well timed to long on for 1 run, fielded by Bravo.
SIX! Sammy to Bailey. Length ball, outside off stump on the front foot Slog, well timed in the air under control over deep mid wicket for 6 runs. For a second it looks like Kieron Pollard will get a hand to it but it sails over his leap and Bailey gets his fourth maximum.
Sammy to Cummins. Half volley, outside off stump on the front foot driving, well timed to mid off for 1 run, direct hit by Russell.
Sammy to Bailey. Off cutter length ball, off stump on the front foot slog sweeping, well timed to deep backward square leg for 1 run, fielded by Charles.
Over 12. 7 runs. Bowler: Sunil Narine. Australia: 96/6(rr 8.00)
Narine to Cummins. Carrom length ball, outside off stump on the front foot defending, missed to wicketkeeper for no runs, fielded by Ramdin.
Narine to Cummins. Off break length ball, outside off stump no foot movement Steer, well timed to third man for 2 runs, fielded by Badree.
Narine to Cummins. Off break length ball, off stump on the back foot glancing, hit pad to fine leg for no runs.
Narine to Bailey. Off break back of a length, off stump on the back foot pulling, well timed to deep square leg for 1 run, fielded by Samuels.
Narine to Cummins. Carrom length ball, middle stump on the back foot working, well timed to backward square leg for 1 run, fielded by Rampaul.
Narine to Bailey. Carrom ball back of a length, outside off stump on the back foot working, well timed to deep mid wicket for 1 run. Bailey raises his bat for his half-century.
Over 11. 25 runs. Bowler: Andre Russell. Australia: 89/6(rr 8.09)
FOUR! Russell to Cummins. Full toss, middle stump no foot movement glancing, well timed past fine leg for 4 runs. 25 runs off the over and Andre Russell might not be given the ball again this innings, he put it in the slot for Bailey time and time again that over.
Russell to Bailey. Short, off stump on the back foot pulling, well timed in the air under control to deep backward square leg for 1 run, fielded by Bravo.
SIX! Russell to Bailey. Length ball, outside off stump on the front foot slog sweeping, well timed in the air under control over deep mid wicket for 6 runs. 88 metres this time, Bailey is exploding!
FOUR! Russell to Bailey. Half volley, outside off stump on the front foot driving, mis-timed in the air under control past long off for 4 runs, dropped catch by Rampaul. Another boundary but this one has come off the fingertips of Rampaul on the way through. The fast bowler should really have taken that.
FOUR! Russell to Bailey. Half volley, outside off stump on the front foot driving, well timed in the air under control past deep extra cover for 4 runs. Same ball and nearly the same shot. The Australian captain might be proving a point with this innings.
SIX! Russell to Bailey. Half volley, outside off stump backing away driving, well timed in the air under control over long off for 6 runs. Nice shot from Bailey, making room before depositing the ball sweetly down the ground for six.
Over 10. 11 runs. Bowler: Samuel Badree. Australia: 64/6(rr 6.40)
Badree to Bailey. Leg spinner length ball, outside off stump on the back foot flick, well timed to deep mid wicket for 1 run, fielded by Pollard.
Badree to Bailey. Leg spinner back of a length, outside off stump on the back foot driving, well timed to deep extra cover for 2 runs, mis-fielded by Bravo.
SIX! Badree to Bailey. Leg spinner length ball, middle stump on the front foot slog sweeping, well timed in the air under control over deep mid wicket for 6 runs.

Over 9. 4 runs. Bowler: Ravi Rampaul. Australia: 53/6(rr 5.89)
Rampaul to Cummins. Short, outside off stump on the back foot cutting, missed to wicketkeeper for no runs, fielded by Ramdin.
Rampaul to Cummins. Short, outside off stump on the back foot Fended, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled to short extra cover for no runs. Very close to a third caught-and-bowled there.
APPEAL! Rampaul to Bailey. Seaming in length ball, outside off stump on the back foot flick, bat-pad to slips for 1 run, appeal made for L.B.W. Probably going over the stumps.
Rampaul to Cummins. Back of a length, outside off stump on the back foot Steer, well timed to third man for 1 run.
Rampaul to Bailey. In-swinging length ball, outside off stump on the front foot flick, mis-timed to deep mid wicket for 1 run, fielded by Charles.
Rampaul to Cummins. Length ball, off stump on the front foot working, well timed to deep square leg for 1 run, fielded by Bravo.

OUT! Caught. Narine to Wade. Off break half volley, middle stump on the front foot slog sweeping, top edge in the air uncontrolled to fine leg, fielded by Badree. Badree backpedals to take the catch at short fine leg after Wade messes up his sweep shot, and Narine joins the other three bowlers in taking wickets. Australia are a staggering 43-6 and this game could be done and dusted in a matter of minutes.
Narine to Wade. Off break length ball, to leg on the front foot dropped, to short extra cover for no runs.
