The first Super 8 game sees West Indies skipper Brian Lara elect to field at the new Sir Vivian Richards Cricket Ground Australia opener Matthew Hayden finds the going tough early on in Antigua and he faces 18 balls before troubling the scorer Daren Powell is causing most of the problems and he is rewarded when Adam Gilchrist edges behind on seven Ricky Ponting comes in and looks in good touch, hitting a run-a-ball 35 before Ramnaresh Sarwan's direct hit runs him out Michael Clarke and Hayden survive several run out near misses as they move the score past 100 without further loss Hayden's early patience pays off when he reaches his 31st ODI half century as Australia push on to 150-2 Clarke plunders 41 before he is trapped leg before by Dwayne Bravo to end a 98-run third-wicket partnership Andrew Symonds nicks Marlon Samuels behind on 13, but Hayden completes his second successive century Mike Hussey's poor form continues though and he scratches around for a couple of overs before dragging a Powell ball on Hayden opens his shoulders and races past 150 before persistent drizzle strengthens and finally takes the players off The Queenslander's innings finally ends on 158, a World Cup record for Australia, caught in the deep by Samuels off Bravo Shane Watson contributes 33 off just 26 deliveries as Australia set their hosts 323 for victory Rain returns before the Windies can start their reply, so it's all back to the Sir Vivian Richards Cricket Ground on Wednesday The second day begins with Australia on top - Shivnarine Chanderpaul is adjudged lbw to Shaun tait for five And when Glenn McGrath tempts Chris Gayle and Samuels into rash shots, both are caught and West Indies are 20-3 Ramnaresh Sarwan and Brian Lara stop the rot with a 50-run stand before Sarwan smashes a Brad Hogg full toss to Ponting Lara completes his half century but wickets continue to fall - Bravo chips McGrath to Ponting and Windies are 107-5 And when Lara himself is trapped leg before by Hogg for 77 to reduce the Windies to 156-6, the game is all-but over Dwayne Smith lifts Hogg for a six, but the spinner has the last laugh with another lbw shout to finish with 3-56 Like Lara, Denesh Ramdin helps prevent a total collapse but the West Indies' hopes are crushed when he is removed for 52
