BASSETERRE – Head coach Phil Simmons says the West Indies cricket team is “moving in the right direction” after a comprehensive four-wicket win over world champions Australia in the tri-nation series on Monday.
West Indies bowlers restricted Australia to 265 for seven and spurred on by an aggressive 92 from Marlon Samuels, chased down the target with 26 balls to spare, reaching 266-6 in 45.4 overs.
The Windies have now registered their second win in the series after beating South Africa in the opening match and losing their second game to Australia.
“We realise that we didn’t bat properly against them last time so we had to bat properly this time so in that way we will be happy with ourselves because the batting came to the party today,” said Simmons. (CMC/EZS)
