00:00We are in the Sugar City, the series between the West Indies and Australia pivots to Warner
00:16Park, Basiteer St. Kate's, for the third T20i.
00:22For the West Indies, it is desperation and hunger as they try to remain in contention
00:29of winning the series, facing an uphill battle, Shea Hope's men. Australia currently leading
00:362-0. Jam Green with a couple of 50s. A young teen will be very pleased with their efforts
00:43to start the white ball edition of this tour.
00:50It's the sixth straight toss in the tour that all the Aussies have won. Shea Hope will have
00:55the bat first yet again. The third time in the series, Mitch Marsh and Darren Gangers
01:00alongside to talk us through the West Indies team who have made two changes.
01:04Yeah, those two changes. Hi, Nicole. Greetings, everyone. Romario Shepard comes into the side.
01:10Jedia Blades, on debut, gets an opportunity. The left arm, Seema, from Barbados. But it's
01:16a team that has shown good form with the bat. They will want to bat themselves into an unassailable
01:21position to keep the series alive. Definitely more runs required from Rogman Paul and Shafin
01:27Rutherford.
01:29Australia have chopped and changed their bowling line-up today. Sean Abbott comes back in.
01:35They've dropped McCoonerman, who played and made his debut in the last T-28 in Jamaica.
01:42But it's all about the power in that batting line-up.
01:48Rourishness has got two overs in the power play in each of the two games.
01:53And for 35. He'll be hoping to use the easterly win to help get the ball back in to the right-handers.
02:00One of them being Brandon King, who notched his 12 T-20 international 50.
02:06And I'll see him at Sabina Park.
02:10Started slowly but then recovered well. And Shea Hope at the other end.
02:16A 50 in the first T-28, the captain.
02:18A word to describe that stroke. Class. First boundary.
02:33Near-perfect execution there from Brandon King.
02:37He was in the slot.
02:39Showed really good balance and held his shape.
02:43Full face of the bat presented. You'll expect more of this.
02:49At this venue where the straight boundaries are relatively small.
02:56Shot of authority.
02:58Yeah, that's how far it travels here at Warner Park.
03:01Easy with the short straight boundaries.
03:04And it's very typical of Brandon King and his scoring area in recent times.
03:09And mostly in the power play.
03:10He scores many of his runs in that V-area.
03:13Hits with a straight bat.
03:15Goes vertical once more.
03:17That's the right option for that type of delivery.
03:20Straight away you can see the surface is a good one.
03:22Ball coming on to bat.
03:28Top shot.
03:30Clean from Shea Hope who finds the middle of the bat.
03:3225 for none.
03:36I got you.
03:37I got you, brother.
03:38Another delivery that allows Shea Hope.
03:49To hit a ball of that length down the ground speaks to the quality of Shea Hope.
03:54And evidence of that with pace on, on this surface, that is usually a good one for batting.
04:01You can back away, stand and deliver, so to speak.
04:05Execution very good on that occasion, once more.
04:13You should be very reluctant to pitch the ball that close on this ground.
04:25It's surprising the window is still intact.
04:28This is beautiful tempo here from Shea Hope.
04:35It's run through the line.
04:37It was on pace there.
04:38Not where Shea Hope intended it, but the four will bring up the 50 for the West Indies.
04:57And we're taking out one of our cameramen, but again, you can't get too close in length here as a spinner.
05:18Especially as a finger spinner.
05:20Even then he's pulled the length back, and the straight boundaries here are very seductive, but very short.
05:42No matter what surface or ground length you're playing on, this is a wonderful shot from Hope.
05:48Glenn Maxwell, he took the pace off, did everything he wanted to do to cramp the batsman up.
06:04Wonderful strike, very crisp.
06:08From Brandon King.
06:09And this is a modern-day leg spinner.
06:14He used his ball on purpose here, I think, Adam Zampa, to get one.
06:20But it was just the sheer power of King.
06:22He used the crease beautifully.
06:30Too easy.
06:31And it won't be the last time tonight we see that ball struck straight down the ground if the length is given.
06:39Adam Zampa just missed his length there.
06:47Now Brendan King to Stefan hitting free his arms up.
06:51Don't have to get a lot on it to clear that boundary straight.
06:54Top shot.
06:55Part of the compliment there is the Shea hold forward, just making enough room.
07:11Forcing Owen now to even tighten his line even more here in St. Gips and Needles.
07:18This is a really good sign for the West Indies.
07:21He's starting to find some new rhythm.
07:22Tie, and it's gone.
07:32You'll see more of that 91 without loss after 8.
07:39The last ball of the previous oover into the Luzak road.
07:43Yeah, that's out of the park.
07:46Keep your eyes on it, everyone.
07:57When you come to a venue like this, Shakira.
08:01He's showing the CPL in 2024.
08:04And T24.
08:0650-4.
08:08Shea hope.
08:09Another one for him.
08:11In this series.
08:148th T20i.
08:16Half century for the West Indies captain.
08:23Yeah, looking to go straight again.
08:27Shea hope.
08:27He kneels it for four.
08:30Great power.
08:31Great dexterity.
08:34The fans are happy.
08:39But Maxwell is bewildered.
08:42He's almost got everything right about that delivery, Maxwell.
08:50Yeah, that's square.
08:52That's into the win.
08:53And that's disappeared.
08:56A hundred thumbs up for the West Indies inside the tent over.
09:00Brutal batting.
09:04Yeah, not too often you see an Australian bowler looking so bewildered.
09:1589 meter hit.
09:17First maximum that's gone square of the wicket.
09:20Really good use of the crease by Brandon King.
09:24Now, one, two, gets four.
09:32Another half century for Brandon King.
09:36It's his 13th in this format and his second in succession.
09:41He's in some scintillating form.
09:43Looks really elegant and regal when he's on the go, King.
09:47The ball absolutely racing off his back.
09:53Brandon King.
09:55Nationally perhaps should have done better on the boundary.
09:57Now, that's gone as well.
10:04It's been an onslaught of epic proportion here at Warner Park.
10:10It's a 10-6 off the innings.
10:14It's carnage.
10:17And 6-6 is for Brandon King alone.
10:19He's in some corn.
10:25And if you're a bowler, you accept that though.
10:28He's pulled you into that strong breeze for a maximum.
10:32Now, that's in the air.
10:38This time, it's taken into the wind.
10:43So, it just held up.
10:44It was well judged in the end.
10:47And Mitchell Wynn, after being struck for six strikes back.
10:51And Sean, how about the fielder?
10:53Yeah, the commitment to the plan.
10:55Asking Brandon King to go up into that breeze again.
10:59Yeah, this tells you how much he actually held up.
11:01Misjudged this on the boundary.
11:05And not having to take it low because the ball really held up in that strong breeze.
11:09But a scintillating knock from King.
11:1162 of just 36 deliveries.
11:131-2-5 for 1.
11:20Thick edge.
11:21Will run into the boundary as well.
11:23It's been that type of day for the Westonies Brad Hutton.
11:26It has well bowled there from Adam Zampa.
11:28Down the edge of Shire Hope, who has not put a foot wrong all day.
11:34We did see there, though.
11:35It's a little bit of turn from his surface as it started to wear.
11:39This is length badly.
11:47And another straight six from the West Indies.
11:54Nine of 11 of them have been in the V.
11:56The crowd at some kids here are starting to come alive.
12:02Adam Zampa would like to have this one back.
12:06It's against Shire Hope.
12:08He's targeting that short side.
12:10Kitsch!
12:14Fielder will watch.
12:16He's hit it flat, but he's hit it in the gap.
12:18Six more.
12:21Not often, Adam Zampa gets hit for back-to-back sixes.
12:26Hefmeyer has gone with the win here.
12:30Well bowled by Adam Zampa.
12:31Goes pace on, and Shire Hope gleefully at sacks.
12:44Yeah, this is a big play here from Hope.
12:46Put pressure straight on Nathan Ellis.
12:49He's been brought back into the attack.
12:52To quieten his scoreboard down.
12:53Once again, pace off.
13:00Shire Hope has got used to the pace of the surface.
13:03And started to find a real tempo in his swing now.
13:11Makes the mistake of going full.
13:14And Hefmeyer makes him pay.
13:20Hefmeyer, that's a beautiful swing in the back.
13:23The wrong one.
13:28Hefmeyer picked it.
13:30Knew straight away.
13:35This time, full and taken.
13:38Not the first time in the series.
13:40Zampa's been hit for a six.
13:41And then responds with a wicket.
13:44Yeah, this is very clever bowling here by Adam Zampa.
13:48With the six, he just got outside.
13:51Hefmeyer's eye line allowed him to freeze arms up.
13:53But this one, he tightened it up.
13:54Went at his heels.
13:56Didn't allow Hefmeyer.
13:59Get a free swing of the bat.
14:01Some quite got hold of it.
14:03Simple catch in the outfield there.
14:06Ben Dorshus.
14:08That's a big wicket for the Australians.
14:10The back of Hefmeyer.
14:12He departs for nine.
14:13Cindy's, though, 162 for two.
14:16That is innovation.
14:24You don't always see that route from Shea Hope.
14:26Something he's been working on.
14:28Into the 90s.
14:30He was seeing a lot of power tonight from Hope.
14:33But this is a touch of pass.
14:36Realised from the field.
14:38Ben Dorshus had said he was going to go full in the stumps.
14:40To be able to walk in the line.
14:45Use the pace of the ball.
14:48Very nervous signs of the Australians here at the moment.
14:51The way Hope's seen the ball.
14:52In front of Square.
15:01Strategic positioning by Rutherford.
15:05Much in the boundary here for Rutherford.
15:08Pace off here from Ben Dorshus.
15:11Rutherford.
15:12Know how powerful he is.
15:14Square the wicket.
15:15Just try to get it out.
15:17Inside his eye line.
15:18But the reach.
15:22That's educated.
15:28Not intentional from Shea Hope.
15:31But he'll take it.
15:32Good start to the over for the West Indies.
15:35I think it was deliberate.
15:37The way he broke his wrist at the last moment.
15:40To get this done.
15:42Yeah, to third.
15:43Very well played.
15:44Good start to the over.
15:45Gets bat.
15:52And goes in the gap.
15:53So four more to Shea Hope.
15:56A welcome boundary.
15:57Just five so far from the over.
15:59And you can tell from his body reaction.
16:03Another.
16:04Or a shake of the head rather.
16:05That he isn't too pleased.
16:06With what has happened so far in the over.
16:09Up until that point.
16:11He just delays his stroke slightly.
16:14Because it's a slower delivery.
16:16And gets the gap well.
16:17And that's a moment to savor.
16:25Soaring Hope records his first T20i sentry.
16:30Quite unshakable and radiant.
16:33It's been an innings of power.
16:38And evidenced by those six sixes he's achieved.
16:44Brilliant captain's knock.
16:52Another full toss.
16:54Not capitalized on.
16:56And to add in salty injury he's run out.
16:58So non-characteristic type of innings from Shafi and Rutherford.
17:03In and amongst the brilliance of hope.
17:07Yeah this is inexplicable.
17:09He seems as though he just gave up.
17:12Didn't make the connection he was after.
17:14And just look at him trotting down.
17:16Wonderful awareness from Tim David.
17:19Knocks the stump out of the ground.
17:22And that was a soft dismissal you'd have to say.
17:25Rutherford goes for 12.
17:271-9-3 for 3.
17:34The toss.
17:36Should get 4.
17:37The inner part of the bat.
17:38So.
17:39Rutherford will take confidence.
17:41With this outcome.
17:44My word.
17:45What type of bat is that?
17:48That's an inside edge.
17:50That erases a cross for 4.
17:52Not where he was aiming.
17:57Look how quickly that sped across.
18:04Short and clubbered.
18:06Into the gap.
18:06The 200 comes up for the West Indians.
18:09That's powerful from Paul.
18:13And if his first boundary was unconvincing.
18:17And then this one was absolutely crunched.
18:20And that's swivel.
18:22Swivel.
18:24Pivot and swivel from Powell.
18:29Top edge.
18:30Should be a simple catch.
18:32Yeah.
18:33Zampa makes no mistake.
18:34So Powell again trying to use his muscle.
18:37Leg side.
18:39Flatters to deceive.
18:43Yeah.
18:43She's upset.
18:44And then that upset turns to joy.
18:50Into the surface.
18:51So he changed the length.
18:52As well as the line.
18:54Powell.
18:55Opting to use power.
18:58And he holds out to Adam Zampa.
19:01Look how things change quite quickly.
19:05That's disappointment.
19:08Then why would I continue to be disappointed?
19:12Yeah.
19:13Get the dance in.
19:14Power.
19:22Good power.
19:23Mario Shepard.
19:26Enforces himself onto Ellis.
19:29And brings forth.
19:34Just look at the way this ball swerves after it leaves the bat.
19:38You can't see it from that angle.
19:41But it's brute force.
19:43From Romario Shepard.
19:49You will get it.
19:50That's a nice finish for Romario Shepard and for the West Indies.
19:55The brilliance of Sheeho just holding things together in this first effort.
20:02And in this very important T-20 international, can they save this series and keep it alive?
20:08Absolutely brilliant.
20:09Absolutely brilliant.
20:10Ends the innings unbeaten on 102.
20:15Look at the strike rate.
20:17It's a hundred and seventy-one six sixes for Sheeho, Brandon King got a half century as well.
20:25And they'll be absolutely pleased with 214 on the board.
20:30Well, for the bowlers from Australia, it was Sean Abbott who was brilliant with his economy.
20:40His four was only coursing 21 when there was carnage happening with Hope and King.
20:46And Nathan Ellis really reinforcing his credentials of one of the best T-20 bowlers in the world.
20:54One for 37 from his four and really keeping things in check in that last five-over phase of the innings.
21:02Mitch Marsh, yet to get out of the power play.
21:18Masari Joseph has dismissed him in both games, not playing today.
21:22Maxwell continues his new role at the top of the order.
21:30Jedia Blades.
21:32You can get a win for him.
21:3523 years old from Frere Pilgrim Christchurch in Barbados.
21:46First boundary for Australia and for Marsh.
21:55And of course, if it doesn't come back and holds its line.
21:59Marsh can open the face, whether he did that deliberately or not, only he will know.
22:06So the line has to be a little bit tighter without getting too straight to get hit with the wind.
22:10And of course, if it doesn't come back, it's going to be a little bit tighter to the off-stump instead of giving as much room.
22:22It's a good strike into the wind.
22:24It's a good strike into the wind.
22:37It cut through the wind and over point.
22:39Not sure if he intended for the ball to go there, maybe.
22:50It's effective for Matsu.
22:51Not sure if he had the protection there and got it over the protection.
23:03This one, the opening of the back face suggests that he intended to go, whether he intended to go that fine.
23:11Both fielders were on the leg side, so Maxwell knew the line would be straight.
23:25And I think mentally, it is a real challenge sometimes to bowl at a ground like this when the pitch is very good.
23:31Not always.
23:32This is only, I think, what, the fourth score over 150 in 13-20 internationals here.
23:39Make them hit your best ball, though.
23:42That's what you want.
23:47Give back, give back, give back!
23:48A little bit of indecision.
23:50I think he's short there, Glenn Maxwell.
23:52He was late.
23:54They'll have a look, but it seems like the West Cinys are confident.
24:01TV Umberto, director.
24:03We have an umpire's review for a run-out at the striker's end.
24:07Can you give me your best side on shot, please?
24:09All is collected.
24:12Backer is well.
24:14Screece, ready with my decision to the big screen.
24:22Good fielding.
24:23Very, very important in defending or trying to defend this total.
24:28He looked in good touch, Maxwell.
24:30Go on for 20, 30 for one.
24:31Point.
24:32Oh, my goodness.
24:39That has gone into the boundary.
24:42history silence not worn apart every time a boundaries here except for them and that's
24:59one of the benefits of that crouched in his stance where he gets slow to be able to pick
25:06up length early from the spinner as opposed to the pacer where he stands taller and straight
25:15away the dominance against pace by josh english using his feet and has disappeared
25:27shown in his career particularly in this format as Ravi Rampo's kids look on the ability to score 360
25:36and hit the ball quite nicely down the ground at times at Sabina Park in the previous game they're
25:44going to target the short straight bounces they're going to try fielders there and feel the taxi variation
25:56from Mario Shepherd taking pace off the ball works and very good and also very good is the length so
26:04you take the pace off you go into the surface to get them to hit into the wind and all you're
26:09looking for is the ball to hit off center of the bat into the wind sometimes it will go for six but
26:18the minute it hits off center you have your success fifteen to josh english forty five for two
26:31close that edge it will trickle into the boundary line it will also bring up the fifty for the
26:38australians not convincing from the australian skipper a few close calls last three deliveries unintentional but
26:50he will take it pick outside edge flies past she hope four more to mitch marsh and he motors on
27:05he continues to go hard mitch marsh particularly when it's weighed
27:11way not with third in a circle
27:23as it is a cry catch it is the cry not properly time but sufficient enough to go into the boundary line for
27:32four so second four so second four in the over
27:40slightly over pitching on this occasion still splices it mitch marsh
27:51that's an edge and that's another wicket
27:53coming up trumps and he gets the prize wicket off the australian skipper
28:05yes all the time immediately two figures in the deep on the offside so you knew it was going to be weighed
28:12proper execution from jason holder
28:14and this poor play which more struggles to twenty two from nineteen delivery sixty one for three
28:32sounded good
28:34didn't quite hit it off the middle of the bats
28:36but it flies nonetheless he's a strong man tim david he gets six that will ease the pressure
28:49as this could be a wicket it should be a wicket it's she who takes the catch
28:53a wonderful bowling from romario shepherd that plan from around the wicket going across the right
29:04hand there something we've spoken about from this the pavilion end can't particularly reach it
29:12cam green simply enough catch for she hope
29:17yes centurion from the first it is all smiles now another australian goes 87 for four
29:27wow the sound of the bat that was the mellifluos
29:32magnificent strike it off the bat of jiros but it's tim david striking
29:38100 up there for the australians tim david know how powerful he is we've seen it a lot more at the
29:48back end of the innings he's given the opportunity tonight up the order and 96 meters
29:53one to me you can go further than that
30:04now back the back six is there from tim david
30:10it's patch in the crowd there just going to take his time not overplay his hand here and just trust
30:18what he's done own those stumps you'll get enough purchase one might skid one might take the surface
30:30that's another that's in the top tier that's a hat trick of sixes now before tim david
30:38brutal batting it really is goliath like
30:41yeah just look at this just outside tim david's eye line having the opportunity to step hit and freeze hands
30:53the australian crowd there they appreciate it
30:59and another you're right hard he's not done yet that's four consecutive sixes
31:0728th and over 10 gone 120 for four
31:16yeah that's gone that's monstrous that's almost all the way to nevis brute force from tim david it's
31:26disappeared well that's the biggest of them all just gone the armbore
31:32deep in the crease tim david that's his six six it's definitely taking the liking to the left arm spin
31:4389 meters semi
31:49yeah he gets there it's a 50 it's the fastest ever t20i half century for australia
31:56and it's 750 overall he seems to be cramping though maybe wants a change of gloves but wonderful knock
32:05ball striking like you've never seen before yeah that's a wonderful and he's under pressure there
32:10from team david
32:20that's even further the moment he released the ball akilo said knew it was six
32:29and that's gone over the pavilion it's gone over the cameras it's a 50 partnership of just 14 deliveries
32:37carnage here that's just a step and hit there from tim david and just look at the power
32:45on straight over the pavilion over the cameraman and outside the ground
32:57yeah that's gone the moment you miss you're going to disappear and that's what he's waiting for tim david
33:04he took the strike he denied the single of the first delivery because he wants to face the entirety of
33:11this over at another six to his dally yeah this is just pressure here from team baby
33:19that's gone as well it's another six it's just skirted off the roof of the stand and the third empire
33:32fourth empire someone will have to come out with another ball yeah another six here from deep david
33:38this is a strange decision for me to to bowl chase send out the last couple of others tim david take a
