Australia Beats West Indies by 103 Runs

Australia completed a 103-run victory over West Indies on Wednesday in the opening World Cup Super Eights match which spilled into a second day after rain had stopped play in Antigua. Once again captain Brian Lara with 77 was the only player from the host team to offer any real resistance as the West Indies' batting disintegrated in a rash of undisciplined shots at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium.
