Chris said before the first ODI that West Indies will beat Australia 4-1, after losing the first ODI comprehensively they need to win all the four  However Pollard’s performance was a heartening sign to see, he bowled well and then later batted well as well. Australia will like to keep this winning streak going, they have been pretty much winning everything since the Ashes. Its true that they have not faced really quality opposition during this time, but a number of their bowlers have been injured and the depth in their bowling has been really good. Harris , Bollinger have come along really well. My prediction for this game is an Australian victory.
