Australia beat West Indies comfortably by 84 runs in the first ODI of the five match series. They bounced back from the T20 defeat and proved that West Indies is not yet an equal side for them. SE Marsh bagged the man of the match in his debut game for his 81 off 97 balls with 7 fours and a six. Sure that IPL would have given him a world of confidence in addition to the chance for playing for his nation.
