Australia needed Eleven runs off Sheldon Cottrell’s last over in a fairly wild conclusion.

Australia chased down the West Indies’ 9-145 as the fast bowler sprinted home for a 2nd run to secure the three-wicket triumph. Facing pressure following Mark Waugh’s accusation that Australia had not shown the West Indies “due respect,
