Marsh leads Australia back the top

Shaun Marsh struck 81 on his international debut as Australia coasted to an 84-run win against West Indies.

Marsh continued the excellent form he displayed during the Indian Premier League, where he was the leading run scorer, striking seven fours and a six in his 97-ball innings.

Brad Haddin (50) and Michael Hussey (44) also added a valuable 91-run stand for the fifth wicket, after a mid-innings stumble, to help post 273 for eight.

In reply the Windies lost three early wickets to set them on the back foot and they never fully recovered in the face of some tight bowling to be bowled out for 189 from 39.5 overs.
