OUT!
Gone, Rampaul has sent Doherty on his way, and that is the end of the game. West Indies have won it as comprehensively as one could imagine in a World T20 semi-final.
In doing so they have entered their first World Cup final since 1979! Whoa!

Four!
A four over mid-off for Doherty, as Narine flights it a tad more in search of his third wicket.
9/127 in 16.

OUT!
Hogg’s stay in the tournament is over, stumped off Narine. Will we see more of him in international cricket?
9/121 in 15.1

OUT!
That is the end of that then I daresay. Cummins had to go for it against the medium-pacers but this time the slog gets a toe-end of the bat and it lobs up for the mid-off fielder to take a simple one.
8/111 in 13.3
World T20 2012: Australia vs West Indies semi-final live score updates, blog
OUT!
They had to throw their bats at everything and this time Bailey finds a fielder. He slogs it away but straight to deep mid-wicket, where it is caught this time. Gone for 63 off 29!
7/111 in the 14th.
World T20 2012: Australia vs West Indies semi-final live score updates, blog
SIX!
Swing of the bat and up she goes over mid-wicket for a six. Bailey continues to make merry, when will the West Indies consider this to be getting into dangerous territories? 6/102 in the 13th
World T20 2012: Australia vs West Indies semi-final live score updates, blog
Half-century!
That’s Bailey for you, gets to his fifty off only 23 balls. On another day, it would have earned him plaudits around. Have a feeling it may not do so tonight.
6/91 in 11.2
World T20 2012: Australia vs West Indies semi-final live score updates, blog
Four!
And now a four for Cummins, on his pads and flicked away to the vacant fine-leg region!
Suddenly Australia have gotten themselves to 6/89 in 11 overs. West Indies are not yet in any danger of losing it but something to think about for the Windies.
6/89 in 11.
World T20 2012: Australia vs West Indies semi-final live score updates, blog
SIX!
Oh Bailey! Look out in the crowds! It was a length ball and Bailey’s blasted it over mid-wicket for a biggie!
6/84 in the 11th, can they eke out some respectability from this?
World T20 2012: Australia vs West Indies semi-final live score updates, blog
Four!
And again, only this time he should have been caught! The fielder at long-off ran in and the ball went through his hands for a four!

SIX!
Four!
Andre Russell is greeted to the bowling crease with two successive boundaries! Suddenly Bailey’s turning it on for the Aussies, hitting both of them over the bowler’s head for a six and a four!
6/74 in the 11th.

SIX!
Aah there still is fight in the captain, who slogs it over mid-wicket for a six. Badree’s bowling his fourth.
6/61 in the 10th.
World T20 2012: Australia vs West Indies semi-final live score updates, blog
Change in bowling here. For some reason, Narine is off and Badree has been recalled.
6/53 in 9.
World T20 2012: Australia vs West Indies semi-final live score updates, blog
Four!
Aah a boundary off the bat of Bailey. We still have hope. Not.
6/49 in 8.
World T20 2012: Australia vs West Indies semi-final live score updates, blog
OUT!
Goes for the sweep and goes to the pavillion. Wade lasts less than half a dozen deliveries before getting a top-edge to short fine-leg.
Easy catch to the fielder and Australia are 6/43. This is getting shockingly easy.

OUT!
Another one goes and Australia are in a hurry to catch that flight back home. Leading edge from Hussey, playing his first game this tournament and Rampaul takes an easy catch.
Five down with only 42 on board. Two wickets for the bowler.
World T20 2012: Australia vs West Indies semi-final live score updates, blog
Change in bowling but no change in luck.
Australia lose their fourth as Cameron White nicks one down the leg-side to Ravi Rampaul.
This is fast losing its fizz, the semi-final and Bailey might not have an answer to the pesky question – are the Aussies over-dependent on Shane Watson.
Unless, of course, the captain can himself do something miraculous.
4/42 in the seventh.
World T20 2012: Australia vs West Indies semi-final live score updates, blog
Four!
Four!
Two fours in a row off Samuels! The first one was pitched up to the bat to Bailey and drove hard to the left of mid-off. The second one was understandably shorter and he spanked it over the same fielder and it goes away for another four.
3/42 in 6.
World T20 2012: Australia vs West Indies semi-final live score updates, blog
Three runs and a wicket off the Badree over. He has figures of 2/16 in three overs.
3/31 in 5.
World T20 2012: Australia vs West Indies semi-final live score updates, blog
OUT!
No, no, no, I said it too soon! Watson fails to read that quicker one and attempts a pull, but misses. Like Warner, the ball hits timber and Australia have lost their third!
And a big wicket too.
3/29 in the fifth. Badree gets his second.
World T20 2012: Australia vs West Indies semi-final live score updates, blog
Four!
Watson gets into the act as he cuts Samuels away to the fence. But the run-rate isn’t as high as they would want at this stage, 2/28 in 4.
Watson needs to bat till the end but more vitally he needs someone at the other end too.
World T20 2012: Australia vs West Indies semi-final live score updates, blog
OUT!
It’s just got worse for Australia! Hussey goes for a sweep and can only get a top-edge to Samuels. The bowler steadies himself under it and takes a very, very simple catch. And then kicks it away.
Two down Australia and the untested middle-order has a task on hand.
2/22 in 3.1
World T20 2012: Australia vs West Indies semi-final live score updates, blog
Four!
Four!
Cometh the hour, cometh the Hussey!
Two fours in as many deliveries, one on the off side and one of the leg. He cuts the first one away before nudging a quicker one through the leg-side.
1/19 in the third.
World T20 2012: Australia vs West Indies semi-final live score updates, blog
Four!
Hussey at three and he pushes it over the mid-off fielder for a four! They need many of those.
1/11 in 2.

Chris Gayle is the man-of-the-match rather expectedly. That is it then for Australia, they have crashed out of the World T20 2012, and this one trophy continues to elude them.
West Indies will play Sri Lanka in the final of the tournament on Sunday in what should be an excellent game.
That’s it from me, it has been a pleasure bringing you this.
