West Indies Beat Australia at Boiling Point in a Tense Contest When Crowd Trouble Overshadowed

Join this channel to get access to perks:    / @cricketmax87   The ODI series between West Indies and Australia in 1999 reached boiling point at Bridgetown, Barbados when crowd trouble overshadowed a tense contest. 🏏 Match Highlights: Toss: Australia (batted first) Steve Waugh’s men recovered from 119/6 to post a fighting total of 252 (thanks to Tom Moody and the tail). Sherwin Campbell led the West Indies chase with a gritty 62, but controversy struck when he collided with bowler Brendon Julian and was run out. Umpire’s decision to give him out enraged the home fans — bottles rained down on the field, halting play for 45 minutes. One bottle even narrowly missed Steve Waugh. To restore calm, Australia withdrew their appeal under police advice, as safety could not be guaranteed if play was abandoned. Under the Duckworth-Lewis method, the West Indies’ target was revised to 196 in 40 overs, and Adams & Chanderpaul calmly finished the chase with 3 overs to spare. 📅 Date: April 25, 1999 🏟 Venue: Bridgetown, Barbados ✨ Man of the Match: Sherwin Campbell (312 runs in series) 🛑 Notable: Carl Hooper announced retirement from international cricket before the match. This unforgettable ODI is remembered as much for Sherwin Campbell’s batting heroics as for the crowd chaos that shook world cricket. #AustraliaVsWestIndies #CricketMax #Highlights #ODISeries
