| CLOSE OF PLAY |
| Australia always looked like winning the match after putting up a huge total of 358 on the board. Bracken started off by taking two quick wickets and then it was McGrath and Hogg who cleaned up the rest of the batting line up. Hogg picked up 4/27 the best of the lot. Netherlands can only learn something from the two matches they have played against South Africa and Australia and will be hoping to leave the Carribean with a win against Scotland in their final World Cup match. Man of the Match is awarded to Brad Hodge for his brilliant innings off 123 earlier in the day. |
