In some parts of the world, special achievements are met with cries of "Bravo, Bravo"

In this 2nd match at St George's Grenada it will indeed be a special achievement If Windies can win. And if they do win I again expect chants of "Bravo, Bravo" among the throng.

Yes, if Windies win this game, or even if they get close, I believe it will be a man called Dwayne Bravo that will be the centre of attraction.

Australia won the first game convincingly and it's possible they could do so again.

Shaun Marsh did not take long to make his mark on the international stage with a brilliant innings of 81 that set Aussies up for a score of 273.

Once Windies collapsed to 29-3, the match was as good as over and in the end Windies fell 84 runs short.

There were mitigating circumstances though as both openers were restricted by injuries and with Chanderpaul already missing, the task for Windies became massive.

Their only hope of chasing up that 274 was to get off to a decent start, see off the new ball and take advantage of the older ball with which the Aussie attack would not be as effective. They failed to see off that new ball and there was no coming back after that.

Ok, that's history now, what happens in this match?

Australia are generally priced up at 1.37 to win. After their performance in the first match, this may well be justified, but sorry, 1.37 is not value in a one day cricket match on any team so I won't be recommending a back of Australia today.

They are capable of winning comfortably again and it would be no surprise if they did, especially if Windies injury woes continue, but I am happy to take a chance that this time Windies can get through that new ball period in better shape and we get a closer game.

Windies are quoted at 3.6 and I consider this too big a price to miss in this format of the game. However, with the uncertainty about injuries and the Australian's confidence sky high, it would be prudent to reduce the stakes for this match.

St George's Grenada has been a happy hunting ground for the Windies, having won 3 of their last 4 games there, including two against Australia when Windies chased up 253 and 248 reasonably comfortably.

This pitch will be better for batting then the one we had for the last match and I believe this improves the chances of a Windies win.

Those chances are further enhanced with the return of their best player Chanderpaul and confirmation that both Gayle and Marshall will play today, albeit still carrying niggling injuries.

The weather can be variable in this part of the world and we could again have a shortened game, which also would suit the Windies cause.

So overall, I consider this 3.6 on Windies to be the value play here, but for reduced stakes.

I have one further bet to recommend.

The aforementioned Dwayne Bravo is a generous 7.5 to be top West Indian batsman today.

He was joint top scorer in the last game and has been in good form this year.

With Gayle still struggling with his groin strain, Windies may be tempted to open the innings with Bravo and save Gayle for later in the innings. They have tried this tactic before and if they do so again today; it will give bravo plenty of time to build an Innings.

Alternatively, if Bravo remains batting at no6, he will either come in after the fall of quick wickets and again have time to build an innings, OR, he will come in the last 20 overs with Windies having built a platform and he will have freedom to play some big shots.

I consider this 7.5 on him to be exceptional value and recommend a small back in this market.

My suggested Bets on this game:

BACK Windies to win for 2 points @ 3.6 on Betfair

In the Top West Indies Batsman market, BACK Dwayne Bravo for 0.5 points @ 7.5 at Stan James or Betdirect.
