Australia 7 for 266 (Bailey 125*, Sammy 3-48) beat West Indies 212 (Powell 83, Starc 5-32, Maxwell 4-63) by 54 runs … Scorecard and ball-by-ball details
On Friday, West Indies batted first and were bowled out at the WACA for 70. Two days later, Australia were sent in at the same ground and were 6 for 98. Another short day’s play loomed. But George Bailey’s maiden international century changed all of that and drove Australia to a scarcely believable 7 for 266 – after the match he said he had considered anything more than 200 a bonus – and Mitchell Starc’s second consecutive five-wicket haul confirmed Australia’s 54-run victory.
The Perth fans who returned after seeing only 33.1 overs in the first match were certainly rewarded for their dedication.

Dear Editor:
I wish to thank those media houses which saw the merit of publishing my letter of Saturday, February 01 2013 and also those readers whose e-mails and phone calls indicated that the contents had resonance with them.
My contribution today is more in response to a letter published in the media of Monday, February 04, 2013, in which the writer stated that he anticipated hearing of a “Joe Singh Creative Partnership Initiative”, to tackle the dysfuntionalities referred to in my letter. Continue reading →
