That's the end of the game and Australia wrap up a massive victory winning by 140 runs. West Indies was never in the game but that is more down to Australia's excellent performance than it was the former's poor effort. The pitch was a bowler's graveyard and did not offer much assistance in the way of spin. West Indies really were on a hiding to nothing. They were never expected to win today against Australia and that's exactly how it played out. MATCH NOTES ----------- Australia wins by 140 runs MoM: G Sobers Australia 243 all out 43.5 overs West Indies 103 all out 21.3 overs Australia . Allan Border 50 off 35 balls in 49 min .
