Cricket-Hetmyer helps West Indies thump Australia for 2-0 lead in T20 series

REUTERS: Shimron Hetmyer's 61 off 36 balls and Dwayne Bravo's unbeaten 47 helped the West Indies seal a comprehensive 56-run victory over Australia in the second Twenty20 international in St Lucia on Saturday, to take a 2-0 lead in the five-match series.

"We just said we were going to do the same things we did last night, even a little better. It was fantastic to see how Hetmyer responded," said West Indies' stand-in skipper Nicholas Pooran. The left-hander was the aggressor with four sixes and two boundaries as he stitched together a 103-run partnership with Bravo, who had three hits over the fence as the Australian bowlers struggled to contain the flow of runs."I think it was one of my best T20 innings. I think I paced it quite well. It really worked out well for me with the guys backing me to be the guy to just take it as deep as possible," Hetmyer said.
