5.30 pm West Indies were out of this contest having lost five wickets for very little but they've fought back admirably. They couldn't quite get over the line though, so the series remains 1-1 with two to play.
Shane Watson at the post-match presentation. He says Australia were hoping to get 240, and the batting is an area they want to improve on. He says it's an odd feeling at the end, because his team was ahead of West Indies for most of the chase. "It's a big learning experience, captaining in a game that is so tight. We need to adapt and get better in these conditions."
Michael Hussey is the Man of the Match for his innings of 67. This pitch was not easy to bat on, big turn and bounce for the spinners, so they were tough runs. Hussey says he feels as though Australia should have won but is relieved to have held on for the tie.
Sammy: "We believed we could beat them. We should have won today .. it shows the belief of the team." He says they were looking to run in the final over but the ball went straight to the fielder. "I won't put the blame on anybody ..."
Kushal: "I just felt a pang in my heart. Memories of Klusener/Donald in THAT semifinal."
That's all we have for you today. The fourth game is on Friday in St Lucia, let's hope it's just as good. Thank you for all your emails. Cheers.
