00:00Welcome to Hobart, one of the most beautiful cities in the world. West Indies
00:03won the toss, they have chosen a field. David Warner playing in his 100th T20
00:08International. Shaped a switch. That's well timed. He was shaping and then just drove it
00:15straight past big Andre Russell for the opening boundary. Gets inside it. That is a
00:21class shot from David Warner. He moved early. Oh, into the leg stump. And that was
00:27always going to disappear from Warner. First six of the evening.
00:33Inglis beats fine. Runs flowing for the Aussies.
00:39Smashed. Smashed by Warner. Boundary seven.
00:44She's picked that up really well. For a moment he looked out of position Inglis
00:50then he just whacked it away the back would square.
00:54All drops. We've got a cross Puran. Absolute class David Warner. Match 100.
01:0350 number 25 off just 22 deliveries. Nine fours and a six.
01:09Hold it back. Sent out towards the field. Diving effort. And just saves the boundary.
01:18Slower again. Out. Slow ball works. Hold it gets the wicket of Inglis and the Aussies lose their first.
01:27Marsh picks it up. Sends it to the big man. The Bison's had enough.
01:32That's in Japan. That one smashes it.
01:34He's got it fine. That's a clever shot. Warner really going through the gears now.
01:40Edged and taken. One hander. Nicky P just drags it in easily.
01:47Never shows a great deal of reaction.
01:49Now Zari Joseph. Nothing but Marsh has gone. Anything could happen off this first ball.
01:53And typically does. Just lazily slides it down a third man for a boundary to get things underway.
01:59Comp to see what's happening if he's batting.
02:01There's a bit of glove on that. There is. Warner departs.
02:04Joseph gets a second one. Throws his head back.
02:07There's Warner. He's fine innings of 70. Comes to a close.
02:12Well, that is picked up by Stoin is one step. That's another biggie.
02:20That might have cleared the lot. Yep. Arms up in the air. Spot on.
02:23And they're in the bushes looking for that one. They'll need the whippersnipper.
02:26The Stoin. He's got it in the area again. That's a better shot.
02:30Might not have got the distance required. Man comes underneath and it won't be easy.
02:34It just hung up. Directly to that breeze.
02:38She's thought it was six off the bat.
02:40Stoin is departure. Looked good off the bat, but not so.
02:44Well, that's here with power. That is absolutely smoked by Tim David.
02:50Full slower. High up in the air. It's going to be tough on the breeze.
02:54Should be there to Maxwell and is. The West Indies are right back in this.
02:58Brandon King takes the catch.
03:00Ground is to the offside.
03:01Well, that is a shot and a half from Wade. He can hit full 360.
03:05A couple of steps down the wicket. Calms it away over cover for six.
03:11Scoop low, flat, hard.
03:14Somehow he manages to get that over the rope.
03:18Hits it high with the wind behind him. Goodbye, says Tim David.
03:22Oh, that is massive from David.
03:26It's high. Tough one to catch. A couple of men come in.
03:31No, they don't talk to each other. They both stopped at Wade and said it's yours.
03:37Scooped. It's low. It's hard.
03:39Tim David's putting on a display. Wade picks it up. It's the long side and it's too long.
03:48Matthew Wade's fine. Cameo comes to an end.
03:51Brilliant. Andre Russell's on a hat-trick.
03:56Castle's at it. Big man from Jamaica with a couple of late poles.
03:59It's a hat-trick ball. Zampa on strike to Russell.
04:03No, and he beats the field. And somehow Zampa gets it to the rope.
04:07The Aussies will end up on 213.
04:11Width and smoked by King. That's a nice start. Back with a point. Goodbye.
04:18He's collared that away on the leg side. Just swats it.
04:23Gee, that's hit with the breeze.
04:24Yeah.
04:25And it goes on the breeze. Welcome to the crease, Glenn Maxwell.
04:31Oh, that's as big as anything we've seen tonight from Charles.
04:34Has he cleared the lock? Lost the kookaburra somewhere out the back.
04:38Go on, Charlie. Down.
04:42Through the gap. Another boundary. The 10th four alongside two sixes
04:47in the opening 32 legal deliveries. Fraser McGurk in the future advances.
04:51Didn't get to the pitch.
04:53Hopeful cry of catch. It went through with the shot.
04:55The run's still coming for the West Indies.
04:59Opens up the stumps. Smashes it. Out.
05:03Good catch, David Warner. First wicket falls. Zampa gets the wicket.
05:09Oh, it's a wild delivery. He gets bat on it, does King.
05:13It will be his 50. Well played. He's keeping his side in the game.
05:17The 100 comes up and a bit of hope there on that bench.
05:21He tugs that away. Good catch. Abbott. Great hands.
05:27King's night is done. Stoitus breaks through.
05:30Hung up and got caught into the breeze. Oh, that's not getting caught unless you're 15 rows back.
05:36Good hit by Rodman Powell.
05:40Goes straight down the ground into the breeze. No problem when you're Rodman Powell.
05:45Couple of big sixes by Rodman.
05:49Up and under. Should be the end of the innings. It is short and sweet from Powell.
05:53Maxwell's popped because he gets the wicket after getting some tap. Big one because the West Indian skipper is done.
06:00First big shot from Puran. Doesn't completely time it, but he's so strong. He manages to clear the rope.
06:06Oh, that has been deftly timed. Just the way you open the face.
06:13Stornis to Hope. Picks it up, takes it on the fielder, who's not on the rope.
06:19Oh dear. He's about 20 in, Maxwell.
06:22Hope goes again. This time it will not clear the field. Catch taken. The Aussies have been good. Abbott with a third catch.
06:30Hope is finished. Wides up, bowls him. Zamp is so good. Cannons it into the poles.
06:39And it's not done, but it's close to it.
06:43Straight down the ground into the breeze. He's sliced it straight. If you can do that,
06:47when you see on the replay, he's launched his second six.
06:51Puran goes away on the leg side. It's a long bound. There's going to be another catch out there.
06:56Abbott's taken four.
06:57He's having catching practice out there. It's like training on a Tuesday night.
07:02They keep hitting it to him.
07:05Rutherford picks it up and sends it. Watch out if you're a little one out there,
07:09because the ball's flying. David Warner mic'd up for us.
07:12Sliced away. It'll be another wicket. This time Abbott. He can't take the catch there,
07:17but he gets it. And it means a bit to him as well.
07:19Sheppard needs to go. It's well bowled by Berendorf. Another catch.
07:23Skipper takes it. And now they're going down.
07:28Oh, that's a pretty good hit. It's hanging up in the breeze, but it clears them something for the West
07:33Indies. Jason Holder's decided to go.
07:38Well time. Absolutely smashed away. Four more. Just hanging in. The faintest of hopes.
07:44Holder needed to hit the first to six. And did. There's a full toss. He belts it away.
07:51Three fours and two sixes. Abbott gets it done. Australia win it. In the end by 11 runs. The
08:00first T20 international. The West Indies finished eight for 202. And a really entertaining game of
08:05cricket.
