Watch Australia v West Indies on Kayo Sports. Every Test, ODI and T20I Live with no ad breaks during play. New to Kayo?It was a forgettable campaign for Head, who only played the series opener in Melbourne before being released from the squad. Australian fans got a glimpse of the 21-year-old’s destructive potential this week, with the Victorian only needing five deliveries to announce himself to the cricket world on Sunday.
However, his opening spell in Canberra was less than ideal, with his first two deliveries almost landing off the pitch.It was a relatively quiet campaign for Australia’s stand-in skipper. The Queenslander’s fielding was uncharacteristically poor throughout the series, missing a regulation run out in Melbourne before leaking runs with sloppy ground fielding in Sydney. However, he redeemed himself with a stunning catch at point in Canberra, giving Lance Morris his maiden ODI wicket.Short has found success with Victoria and the Adelaide Strikers as an opener, but Australian selectors were eager to see what he could produce in the middle order.
After combining with Sean Abbott for a 57-run partnership, Sutherland helped clean up the West Indies tail with two wickets as Australia cruised to a crushing victory.Six wickets at 16.00Having carried drinks for most of Australia’s World Cup campaign, Abbott proved his worth with a brilliant all-round performance in Sydney on Sunday.
