Will they, will they not?

The West Indians have come agonisingly close to victory with just 47 runs separating them from a record breaking triumph. If they achieve their target they would not only redeem themselves for their passive performances in the recent past but also would enthuse new life into the WI cricket. However, it is not an easy task. Australians are one of the most pugnacious sides and one can be assured that they would not go down without a fight. They have world class bowlers in mcGrath and Gillespie who can run through most of the sides with little sweat. Brett Lee would also have made it alongside the above mentioned bowlers but for the reservations of the author with regard to his action. Nonetheless, he picks wickets and that is what which matters at the end of the day. So the final day of the last match of the four-match series is going to go down in cricketing history as one of the eminent clashes about which cricket lovers would discuss even long after the actual match was over. My interest in the match would have been heightened if Lara were still at the crease. But alas, what we have instead is Chanderpaul who is no less gritty but the same cannot be said his class.
I place my money on Aussies to emerge victorious. But as the cliche' goes, anything can happen in the game of cricket. So just sit back and enjoy...
