00:00stage is beautifully set for this fifth t20 international between the westernies and
00:15australia pretty much the final frontier for the westernies because earlier both teams arrived at
00:23the venue here at warner park the westernies with a lot on their plate a lot to think about
00:27we'll have to execute and try and secure first win in this multi-format tour and for the australians
00:35they will want to go off on a high final match of this store they've been absolutely brilliant
00:42with their results really at the toss well which mash couldn't put a wrong foot forward he won yet
00:51again and all she hope can do is smile australia opt in to bowl first they will chase one small
00:59a small crowd at the moment and we're hoping for that to build and create an ambience
01:09to see firstly the westernies players of course with two changes casey carty comes into the side
01:15and so too alzari joseph so they're hoping that bat and ball can fire sufficient enough
01:22to secure their first win
01:24the australians have also made two changes ben dorshus comes back into the team
01:31for xavier bartlett and tim david comes back in after being rested after that magnificent hundred
01:37a couple of nights back mitch marsh at the top of the order he'll be looking for some runs but
01:42the big man today everyone's talking about is adam zamper becoming the fourth player
01:47to play a hundred t20 games for australia
01:51shay hope his his leadership's getting better he's batting we know is world class but
02:00to me it's been the people um they've enjoyed the contest they've enjoyed this australian team here
02:05too they've had some fun with them on the boundary but it's been a pleasure to be at warner park
02:09brandon king partner shay hope
02:14thick outside edge first boundary of the innings brandon king flushes hard
02:24a little bit of outswing there from aaron hardy
02:29king got a thick outside edge no third man in play he's a backward point
02:36but it has been the recipe anything full
02:41who's into the pitch what a response from shay hope as if he was expecting that length
02:50this is a sign of a class batsman and one of the things that has been impressive about shay hope
02:56is the way he picks up length so quickly looks to go forward just rocks back
03:01and what i like about his game he's got craft he's got some craft in the way he plays he's used the crease
03:07well
03:12terrific stroke and used a lot of bottom hand the top hand was more dominant
03:19you've got it over that middle fielder and this has been a real feature shy hopes batting
03:27as the way he's hit down the ground a little bit of width on offer there from ben dorshus
03:31class of shay hope he hasn't tried to overheat
03:35but his hands nicely through the ball
03:40that's easy picking for someone of his class
03:44god what a response after conceding
03:49two boundaries
03:50dorshus
03:51it's in the target
03:53and getting rid of the west indian skipper
03:56yeah this is really good follow up here from ben dorshus
03:59and the thing he did really well here he kept the stumps into play
04:03to scramble same he got a little bit of shape back into
04:07shay hope went through that gap between bat and pad
04:11and after back-to-back boundaries he didn't panic kept the stumps in play the crowd you know how
04:18passionate they are here for this west indian team and that one hurts to lose their skipper
04:23Australia a 14 for 1
04:25put down
04:32don't often see this from the australians and more so from glenn maxwell
04:39well this is a shock
04:42can't remember the last time glenn maxwell's put a catch down he prides himself
04:47on the work he does out in the field
04:50king just
04:53the bat turned in his hand
04:55chipped
04:59in the gap
05:00just wide of tim david in that mid-wicket position that's four more
05:05this is one of the features of king's batting through the whole this 2020 series
05:11he's in this power play doesn't try to over hit the ball
05:14he just goes at 80 percent
05:16he knows on a boundary with this
05:19he only has to beat that infield
05:20new straight away
05:22just four more to his total
05:24that's second brandon king doesn't make use of the opportunity to drop chance given by maxwell he finds the safety of hands of tim david instead and he has to go
05:29yeah this is a good catch here from tim david well hit by king he was placed there for that exact shot on the circle tim david at time there was no mistake watch the ball in
06:06for 11 the west indies at 22 for 11 the west indies at 22 for two
06:13he has to go to the boundary
06:18not sure cameron green would be
06:20but he has to be
06:21be overly enthused that he didn't at the least get something on it
06:30not to surprise they've gone with the weight lane the sheriff in Rutherford
06:35everyone was dismissed to away the delivery last game albeit from the
06:40spinner an example
06:52good strike on that one from Shelfian Rutherford he will be hoping that can put
06:59something significant together for them here at Warner Park tonight and also for
07:06himself has been excellent across all the eyes in the last year or so with
07:12Shelfian Rutherford Maxwell is tracking it and he makes no
07:21mistake three wickets down now in the power play and Hardy holding his length
07:28very well and he is in pain emotionally
07:37not the reintroduction to the t20 team Casey Carity would have been more pay for
07:42and the cashman Maxwell on this occasion the resilience remember he put no one a
07:49few overs a goal guarantee though dismissed for just one from eight deliveries as
07:55well struggles in his first open in this series 32 for three
08:01they know that there are sequence of big shots being played they're not concerned
08:08about a drop and run this is magnificent so far from Rutherford
08:12and what's ball striking from Rutherford again right there just a strong base eyes on the ball the whole way
08:19even when the tape takes off he's not out forced pitch is so good he can hit through the line of the ball and get value for his shots
08:26gets out to find what wonderful touch there's that man at deep point coming around he had no chance
08:33pace on that time but that's control in that shot
08:40but that's control in that shot
08:42and further to that it had all been about power from Rutherford
08:49this time though he just plays with the field opens the back face plays it very late
08:53it's so he can get to get the ball and get it in the way
08:54the ball and get it out and get the ball and get the ball and get the ball and get value for his shots
08:56on that time but that's control in that shot
09:01and part of that it had all been about power from Rutherford this time though
09:07he just plays with the field opens the back face plays it very late so he can
09:12get it fine of that fielder
09:15yeah the reason he was brought on Maxwell gets the praise wicket
09:25of sheriff in Rutherford misses a straight one ball gone
09:35he didn't have
09:39type of success with this catching dropped one caught one tonight Maxwell but very
09:44straight and bang on target not leaving the stumps then and just skidding on
09:54green's haircut is a thing to behold tonight apparently
09:59I know how it feels and Rutherford goes for 35 64 for Paul
10:07yeah nice touch nice deflection from Jason Holder to end the over
10:15successful over though 68 for Paul
10:19wide plan is what dismissed at my in the last game they'll take that to West Indies
10:28good evening Sam your budget
10:29just has enough he's taken on Zampa throughout the series and that continues
10:44I'm just looking to see who's left in that position there it's Cam Green the tallest man on the field
10:53and even he couldn't get there it held up in the air he's hitting slightly into the wind
10:58and that long one position settle settle jump leaped just out of his reach
11:04that is out of here
11:09that is out of here
11:13and Sherman have my he's body responsibly that's far that has disappeared
11:20everything in his feet where the left hand angle slide in this spot he's hitting with the wind
11:27now you can't afford the ball that length on this surface
11:32and Tim David looks at it seal over his head and out of Warner Park
11:38that is a top class cricket shot use of the feet and straight
11:46down the ground he's going towards the ball
11:59he gets his hands through the shot brings up the hundred
12:03for the West Indies
12:05not a bad spot to aim at this venue straight towards the side screen
12:16that time again he uses his feet you'll take that every run of it you'll take it
12:23there was a loud sound and up goes the fingers so Sean Abbott finally going into the pitch
12:37gets rid of Jason Hall and a partnership that falls short of 50
12:41into the surface again from Sean Abbott
12:48trying to counter Jason's plan to hit down the ground
12:53playing edge through to the rookie keeper
12:56and again Nelson strikes 1-1-1 for Fife
13:02and that doesn't stop Shepard from going leg side and going big
13:13first real one that's come out the middle of Mario Shepard's back
13:21first real delivery but starts it way too straight on this occasion Shepard just has to help it
13:32behind Spear on the next side
13:34response with a good leg delivery and bang hits the target so how often have we seen this from the Australians
13:48after a slight defeat they conquer
13:55the strike for six the previous delivery no problem that happens I can respond top of all stuff
14:01Nathan Ellis piece on on that occasion
14:05so again the cricket smarts of the Australian bowlers the Mario Shepard walks back for a run the ball eight
14:12one two three four six
14:14nice opening of the blade
14:20brilliant timing
14:22and it deserves four it gets four
14:26that sounded good
14:33and it will fly all the way for six that's with the win
14:36and that's brutal from Ford
14:38and he begins with that Matthew Ford
14:44where it's very diligently on his body
14:47and he is quite handy with by a hand
14:54remember the innings he played against Ireland
14:56just a few months ago
14:58left will be a no ball it will be
15:06it will be
15:08and the free hits
15:09and four
15:10first boundary for Shimon Hetmeier since over number 11
15:16no mistaking that one
15:23so after a quiet little period of not getting a lot of strike that's not a good catch on the bank
15:29but it is a wonderful shot from Hetmeier
15:32she's having a ball laughing at him
15:35and there must be a later December Badri out there on the boundary
15:40the ball toss here from Endorchis
15:45give someone the power of Hetmeier back to back ball tosses
15:51crowd catch
15:54a look
15:56big effort
15:57just lost his feet in the end but a wonderful effort
16:06more runs
16:0850 up for Shimon Hetmeier
16:10it's a valuable valuable half century
16:13in the face of wickets
16:15falling around him
16:17his sixth in this form of the game
16:20T20 internationals
16:22can he be there when the last delivery is pulled in over number 20
16:27it just
16:29this just shows to me he's just starting to get used to the surface
16:32we've been waiting for this
16:34since the series started
16:36it's a wonderful 50
16:38it's his first 50 since August 2023
16:43but what a better
16:45no better time to get it
16:46does go wide
16:50does go wide
16:52and well taken
16:53it's a change of pace
16:54and wide of the offstop
16:56I thought it would have come early actually
16:58because Hetmeier is so strong leg side
17:01very well called there Bish
17:04exactly the plan Australia
17:07in trying to execute
17:08to Hetmeier take him wide
17:10take the pace off the ball
17:11making Mews
17:14his hands
17:15Sean Abbott once again
17:17very athletic
17:18in the field
17:19takes a very good catch low down
17:21running in
17:22Hetmeier
17:23might have passed for 52
17:24he'll be disappointed
17:25where Sydney's now 155 for 7
17:28use of the angle nicely
17:35not dropping that
17:37Mitch Marsh
17:38so wonderful use from around the wicket
17:40the change going across
17:42forward
17:43yeah that's highly skillful there
17:45from Nathan Ellis
17:46he's gone around the wicket
17:48across the batsman
17:49but what he's also done
17:51he's used to change the pace
17:53he knew that batsman
17:55was looking to go at one pace
17:57changed the pace
17:59got it wide of his eyes
18:00Mitch Marsh takes a safe catch
18:02once again
18:04Nathan Ellis
18:05is doing the damage
18:07at the back end of the game
18:08for the Australians
18:09the West Indies
18:10157 for 8
18:16it is a wicket
18:17it is 100 of T20 international
18:20and that'll taste as good
18:22as good as any of those
18:24that he's had along the way
18:26Adam Zampa's writing his own script today
18:29and this has been the strength
18:31Adam Zampa throughout his whole career
18:33as he owns that line
18:35against the stumps
18:36a little bit quicker
18:38push it through
18:39Zari Joseph has been done
18:42with the length there by Adam Zampa
18:45Zari departs for 3
18:50West Indies now
18:52in a bit of trouble
18:53at 159 for 9
18:55in a bit of trouble
18:56at the end of the game
18:57at the end of the game
18:58at the end of the game
19:02a quick fire
19:05a little effort
19:06at the end of the previous game
19:07with the bat
19:11this is really
19:12over there
19:13by saying he's walked across
19:14into the line
19:15knowing Zampa's going to go wide
19:17and he's his wrong one
19:18hit the gap
19:23nicely
19:24his batting
19:25has come along
19:26quite decently
19:27he's always had ability
19:28I don't think he's shown it
19:30enough
19:31Aquila scene
19:32but in the last six or eight months
19:34it's come along nicely
19:35this is a good start
19:37last over here
19:38Nathan Ellis has gone short
19:39off spin the end of the wicket
19:41he's picked the change of pace
19:43I tried it a couple of times
19:54so
19:55they'll appeal for that
19:56and will it be the end
19:58of that
19:59they'll go to the television umpire
20:03can I have your best side
20:04but it's still short
20:14thank you have a decision for the big screen
20:21and that's the end of that great athleticism there from Nathan Ellis good awareness in his follow-through
20:27and a little concerned there that Aki Lusain was actually limping as he got past the stumps
20:33deletedly
20:36just look at the athleticism here from Nathan Ellis
20:39I tell you what we spoke about at the start of the day
20:42how Australia's mindset will be going into this last match
20:45have already won the series
20:46and that's the answer right there
20:48Nathan Ellis is a heart on his sleeve player
20:50he appreciates playing for Australia every opportunity he gets
20:55and those little moments those little attitude moments
20:58is why every player in that Australian team wants to play with him
21:0135 to Rutherford who again looked in good touch
21:06but the highlight was shimmer on headmass 52
21:0920 to Jason Holder
21:1115 to Matthew Ford
21:13all out one seventh
21:14we'll just have a look at the Australian bowling card
21:19I'll be very pleased as a coach here
21:21everyone's contributed
21:23Ben Dorches I thought was outstanding in the first half of the game
21:26Sean Abbott he's had a wonderful series
21:28hasn't got the rewards normally in the wicket column
21:31but what he's done during those middle overs in partnership with that man Nathan Ellis
21:35who got two
21:36Maxwell chipped in for one
21:38but Adam Zampa
21:39one wicket in his hundredth game
21:42three
21:45listeners will have to bring the a game against this Australian batting lineup
21:49we know the advantage of the team chasing
21:52that's because of the small boundaries it's so difficult to decide and set a target
22:01and set a target also so difficult to contain boundary scoring at warner park
22:11it was a bit of shape there marsh hitting with the swing first boundary first runs
22:17and but much better balance from him with that ball coming in to the right hander
22:22it's a powerful man so if you're slightly off he's looking to attack to capitalize
22:31we're just starting two straight with his line blades
22:40side edge that's gone for four that is the aggression that mitch marsh will come at you with
22:51we've not seen the destructive edition of mitch marsh in this series yet
22:57could it be today 12 without loss
23:04has he taken it he has just confirming it's another dismissal of match
23:10by holder
23:23thank you i have a decision for the big screen
23:30so early wicket maxwell after high impact a few days ago jason holder again using
23:46tactics and shaping the ball away from him gone for none 12-1
23:53he's missed his length there jason holder so english again able to put another ball into
24:00the boundary early on and it just releases the pressure and after the wicket a dot delivery
24:07and just two that is glorious
24:14you can't defend both sides of the wickets
24:22holder fights back he has the final laugh against josh english the westernese get too early
24:35two wickets for jason holder i wouldn't mind that he's conceded 11 but those two wickets
24:47would allow the westernese to have a little more control in this defense that's a good
24:51running catch from matthew ford why not celebrate jason holder
24:57the dangerous english goes back to the pavilion for 10 it's 23 for
25:04five times joseph has marsh back in the team back in the wickets
25:15yeah and he's gotten the confidence from his captain to come at a critical time in this
25:22innings westernese has to believe as a team that they can bowl australia out that should
25:29be the mindset test length with that ball nipping into marsh hitting top of fourth that's a real
25:39beauty from the speed stuff can this inspire more wickets for the westernese marsh struggles continues
25:50really spoils what was such a good control length in that over azari joseph but they've got the
26:03prize wicket of marsh 30 for three despite that there was just a brief shout of catch it forget it
26:14was in front of tim david that is what he wants wants to clear that front foot he wants to swing
26:23with a vertical bat he's a powerful man install long levers that's in the slot for him
26:30he's so strong in the v down the ground so 10 of the first two pressure
26:46just ignites the sinnings for tim david so so important to start well against
26:54power hitters tim david he's a wonderful finisher with the bat in t20 crickets
27:02and the carnage continues
27:09he didn't catch it dropped it
27:14and you can take a game away from you tim david that's why you need the experience of a holder
27:22countering this technical and tactical move by tim david he's trying to take the game away
27:28in this power play phase he recognizes that there are only two fielders outside the circle
27:33and that's gone as well it's another maximum for tim david 50 up quite rapidly for australia brute force
27:47it's the reason the crowd are up on their feet it's a lot of action here at the moment tim david
27:53counter-attacking his west in his bowels doing a wonderful job
27:58about six again just uses the piece of alzari joseph just sometimes pierce can be your enemy
28:10if you're errant yeah this is a classy shot from tim david once again just gave tim david a little bit
28:20too much we open the face and let the pace do all the work
28:27it's 30 off 11 deliveries now
28:32be loud there shimmering at maya
28:35that maya takes the capture
28:38muted celebration from alzari joseph but he knows how big of a wicked that is
28:43wonderful work from at maya in the deep the crowd on their feet
28:49that's the first time alzari joseph has dismissed tim david
28:56couldn't come at a better time he set him up there
28:59pingled that ball into leg stump it's a wonderful cat
29:06pet maya out in the deep move well to his left tim david did entertain for 30 off 12
29:13the strains now 60 for four
29:19that struck with some ferocity that got to the boundary in record time power
29:30yeah this is
29:32mitch owens known for good swing the bat he's a big man
29:37that's in the gap and that's wonderful ball striking and placement a fusion there from green 79 for four
29:52there is a few of us here and i enjoy this shot from cameron green he went wide
30:07allowed you to freeze arms up
30:10and that driving has been a real feature of his batting right through this 2020 tournament
30:16two is the call gets four the timing was good again not too far from romario shepherd but this ball is just pinging off the bat
30:34very strong square the wicket cameron green it's growing up western australia on those bouncy wickets
30:44need the fielders backing up the bowlers in that situation
30:49that struck with tremendous power and even though he's got a solid hand on it brandon king i think
31:04it was it still goes for four
31:07well we've seen some extraordinary strokes played through these five game series but none as good as this
31:17it's the perfect cover drive here from mitch owen
31:20you look at a good hand on it but it was just the sheer power and force
31:25quite deliberate he knows that there is a middle offer and he's targeting that area he's almost taken off the camera and the cameraman
31:3816 and over so far
31:45hence he's down mitch owen
31:48no right to hit that 4 for 6
31:50his weight was away from the ball
31:53back foot was off the ground
31:55it's just the sheer strength of the man
31:57and that's gone as well 22 runs in the over that ball is just ricocheting like a pinball
32:09the biggest over of the match 101 brings up the 100 in it for 4
32:15that's a firm push without much energy
32:25Pam green has just shown his class once more
32:31in the gap precision at its very best the 50 partnership comes up
32:46yeah this slightly disappointed because he's forced the bossman to hit the ball where he has the fielders positioned
32:58such as the strength and precision of mitch owen
33:04that's a rocket
33:18bang goes mitch owen
33:22and he makes a real statement to end the over
33:26on a high 21 coming from it after 9
33:29122 for 4
33:32it should be taken
33:36yep wickets
33:39you see just going with the wide line trying to turn the ball
33:44and he induces a false stroke from on mitchow
33:53yeah that's a girl that was talking about
33:56slow and wade
34:00out of the hr of mitch owen
34:03asking him to hit the ball through the outside
34:06and make sure he walks back for a very well played 37 from just 17 deliveries
34:11123 for 5
34:13clipped in the air
34:17and long enough to go for 6
34:19and long enough to go for 6 so
34:20that was beautifully timed by Aaron Hardy
34:24yeah good by his skill throughout this australian batting order
34:31onto the pass
34:33well timed and goes with the wing
34:35screen
34:42got
34:46got finding
34:47was brilliant from cam green
34:49once more he gets another boundary in the over 14 from it 138 for 5
34:52yeah
35:02yeah not getting it straight enough
