Rain and Watson eases Aussies

Having scored 185+ and still being in the loosing side, must be the disappointing thing to overcome for Sammy. But he has to be blamed for his poor captaincy.

Naturally he should be aware that there could be rain and that a complete 20 overs cannot be bowled. Instead he gave Sunil Naraine just the 1 over and did not allow Gayle or Pollard to put any breaks on Aussies. The ball was coming onto the bat quite nicely and WI bowlers fed Watson and Hussey on eith er a full length or short pitched stuff. Both of them picked with some elan and that was enough for pitting it through past WI. Sammy did not do the home work as he thought 187 was enough for WI to scrap them home. But that was not to be...

On the other hand, Watson and Hussey had their task cut out. Both were aware of the rain and played very sensibly as they along with Warner took to the opposition right from the 1st ball. That is the aggressive nature of Aussies that was missing post Warne era.

My worry is that as the tournament progress, bowlers will come handy, as the ball will stop and come to the batsmen. But, I have not seen any slow bowlers shinning consistently so far, though I am commenting quite early in the tournament.
