The West Indies Under 16 invitational team, was saved by rain in both their final matches of the Australian tour. In the final match of the series against the Australian National Under 16, the game was arranged under the new ICC experimental rules, where both teams bat 20 overs each and then play a second innings of 25 overs each to determine a result. Batting first, Australia scored 89 for the loss of two wickets in their 20 overs. In reply the West Indies reached 70 for one wicket in their 20 overs, giving a lead of 19 to the Aussies. When the Australian innings resumed Ben Mc Dermott, son of former Australian fast bowler Craig Mc Dermott, took control and took his personal score to 150 including seven sixes and 18 fours. In the process the Australians reached a total of 297 for five, giving the Windies Under 16's a target of 227 in 25 overs.
Only Jovan Ali looked the part, he took three wickets to take his tour tally to nine. Just before the start of the West Indies innings a heavy afternoon shower engulfed the Albert Oval leaving the umpires with no option but to call off the game. At the close of series awards, Ben Mc Dermott was named player of the series, while Jovan Ali was named best player for the Windies. Captain Vikash Mohan was named most promising player while he was also singled out as the player with the best attitude of both teams. Brian Christmas was also singled out as an emerging player by the all Australian panel which adjudicated the tour. On Friday, The Windies played their final game against the Papua New Guinea Development Team, an Under 21 side now on a development stint in Australia.
The West Indies batted first and scored a meagre 88 in their 20 overs, while in reply the Papua New Guineans' responded with 70/1 in seven overs before the rains came again to relieve the windies of another embarrassment. The West Indies coach Keeth Arthurton speaking after the series indicated there are about five players on the trip who have shown real potential to go all the way, but says the others may have peaked already. Arthurton however says all the boys should have benefitted immensely from the trip and should be able to offer real help to their clubs and schools. Arthurton said, it is not our batting or bowling ability that worries him, it is our general outcricket and short attention span.
