Tiny crowd watches crushing Australian win

The smallest crowd ever for an Australian limited overs match at Adelaide Oval witnessed the home side maul the West Indies by eight wickets Tuesday night.

One-day cricket has had many better days than this, with Doug Bollinger’s first-ball dismissal of West Indies captain Chris Gayle effectively determining the outcome of the contest while dissuading whatever spectators might have swelled the attendance later on.

The West Indies slid as low as 4-16 and were ultimately bowled out for 170, leaving Australia a leisurely chase they duly completed inside 27 overs.
