With advance winds from Cyclone Betsi violently tossing to and fro the Gabba grandstand flags, the West Indies turned on a hurricane finish to beat Australia by 12 runs in the one-day World Series cricket match
Australia, which had gone into the match an unbackable favourite, was bundled out for 203 by a relentless pace quartet led by Patrick Patterson.
The Windies matched the Aussies' brilliance in the field, running out three batsmen, including David Boon and Allan Border.
Although the result left Australia at the top of the ladder with nine points, the Windies moved into second place on six, one point ahead of India.
An elated Windies skipper, Richie Richardson, said later, "I didn't think we had enough runs, but our guys bowled well.
Defeated skipper Border blamed a middle-order collapse for the loss. But he admitted his team had been outplayed on the day.
Sent in to bat, the Windies hit a stop-start 215, with bright patches coming from man-of-the-match Brian Lara, whose 69 included five fours and one six.
And Richardson continued his return to form with a confident 50, including three fours and a six. Fast bowler Craig McDermott and medium pacer Steve Waugh, with three wickets each, led the Aussies' onslaught and the Windies' innings faded quickly after reaching an imposing 2-168. The last eight wickets fell for 47 runs.
Australia's electrifying ground fielding helped considerably to restrict the total.
Australia started soundly with Boon and Geoff Marsh hitting 70 before Marsh fell to Patterson for 29.
At 3-84, with 28 overs remaining, Australia was on target to pass the Windies' total, but Border was run out in a close decision by a throw from Hamish Anthony and the Caribbean cyclone began to whip through the remainder of the innings.
Mark Waugh was bowled by Anderson Cummins for 17. Twin brother Steve became another Patterson victim bowled for three.
And when lan Healy was superbly run out by Carl Hooper for 11, Australia suddenly was staring at defeat.
Peter Taylor and Craig McDermott tried to stem the disaster by unleashing a mini-storm of their own, hitting 36 from 41 balls for the ninth wicket. Australia had a sight of victory.
But the 17 runs required from the last two overs proved too much, Hooper getting Taylor (33) and McDermott (10).
It was the double header the Windies hoped for at Brisbane. The four points from their wins yesterday and over India on Satur- day have made an Australia-West Indies final series a possibility.
