Bollinger explodes as West Indies burst for 170
Doug Bollinger ran through West Indies’ top order during a horror start for the tourists, who were able to recover to 170 in the second ODI. After Chris Gayle won the toss and exited to the opening delivery, the visitors were 4 for 16 in the seventh over and it was only a few moderate contributions from the lower half, which were led by Dwayne Smith’s 43, that stopped a complete disaster.
