Australia retain Frank-Worrell Trophy, beat West Indies 2-0.


Ricky Ponting with Frank-Worrel Trophy. West Indies, world number 7 test team, were not expected to beat Australia (#2) in Australia when this 3 match tour started and neither they did but visitors certainly competed whole heartedly and were close to miraculous victories in Adelaide as well here at Perth after losing first game at Brisbane by an innings margin.

Set 359 to chase in last innings, Windies were nicely placed at 3 for 196 but suffered familier middle order collapse yesterday and required 53 more runs today on last day with last pair at the crease. Gavin Tonge and Kemar Roach started day's play with aggressive shots without much authority before Bollinger claimed faint outside edge off Roach's bat to finish this 3rrd and final test match of Frank-Worrell trophy 2009.

Chris Gayle was adjudged man of the match and also the man of the series while Aussies smiled with the trophy.

Quotes :-
"I think people look at us now and think a bit differently, based on how we went about this series, even though we lost 2-0.. I definitely know from Australia's point of view, we've gained a bit more respect from them." said a not to disappointed West Indies captain Chris Gayle.

"I'm not proud of the fact. I'm sure the players aren't proud of the fact either that we've had three guys reported in the one game,", says Australian captain Ricky Ponting when talking about Mitchell Johnson, Brad Haddin & Shane Watson who were fined and warned for their behavior on field in Perth test match.

Series results :-
1st test : Australia won by inn + 65 runs
