00:00There's a more contrasting, flashing cut shot over Gully, the first scoring shot of the season is a four.
00:10And well played too and that was needed.
00:14Oh that's bounced, thankfully it wasn't edged.
00:19Radek first over, he's having trouble with his front foot.
00:21Front leg and swing over mid wicket, just three men on the left of screen, it's full and it's sliced away to the other side of the field.
00:28Michael Clarke doesn't give much of a chase, because it's four.
00:34That was a pretty good shot.
00:36And they get it to swing, a little bit, doesn't matter though.
00:41The front foot wide, nails a four.
00:45Three overs gone.
00:49That's edged and safely edged, short boundary, plenty of work to do, can't do it.
00:55Just two, bowls to Cameron.
00:58Akmal, slashes away, Cameron White nearly gets there.
01:07We've got the big endings.
01:11That's his comfort zone Cameron Akmal, Peter Siddle will work that out pretty shortly.
01:15He's having no problems with short and wide, front foot he scored nothing.
01:19That's a good shot, he smashed that one, short outside off stump and he's hit it for four.
01:28But I'm sure you'll agree.
01:29Well that's over the top, down the ground, yes, that's a very good shot for four.
01:38Over the top and well played, that's a very good shot, bouncing away to wide, mid-off for four.
01:44He doesn't need to run in that position.
01:49That's straight up in the air, this is going to take some catching, hopefully there's no collision, no there won't be, yes, nicely taken.
01:5424, and a runner ball for Akmal, one for 62.
01:58Another guy, Haddon, oh there's a top edge and it gets over the top of wicketkeeper as well, Haddon.
02:06It was a mighty leap, that, Peter Siddle.
02:11Oh, that is a good shot and that'll be four.
02:16See where Siddle's been expected, sliced away a little bit, perfectly into the gap.
02:20There's an edge and Cameron White diving to his left.
02:24They're teasing at the moment, it's all Salmon Butt.
02:29This time he gets hold of it, Salmon Butt, that is a good cricket shot.
02:32That is almost a charged pull shot, he set it.
02:3620 to 49, which gets him a lot, and there's his 50.
02:43Nicely played.
02:46Bell really missed out in the second innings, the final test match, but it was a gutsy hundred.
02:50If you've got a hundred, you can have a, one maybe, two low score.
02:55There you go, first ball, there's the launch that Michael Slater talked about.
03:02Oh, that's well hit.
03:05One bounce, and over the rope, it's a short bounding.
03:08That's beautiful here, it's nice.
03:11That could well be four more.
03:14Lovely deflection.
03:16Three fours in four deliveries.
03:21Oh, it's straight up in the air.
03:23Will Haddon get it, it's going back.
03:25Circling takes it well, judged it nicely.
03:28Good balding change, Ricky Podding.
03:29Two four hundred and seventeen.
03:34Oh, it's a good delivery, he's got him.
03:36Back on the stubs.
03:37Good pace from Bollinger.
03:39This is good bowing.
03:41Banged it in short.
03:42Jumped, played it down.
03:44There we go, oops.
03:46Bingo.
03:47Right on top of the bat.
03:48Oh, half glove and then down onto the ground.
03:51And he...
03:52Oh!
03:53Oh, that's a lovely shot.
03:56That's a quality over of batting from Umar Akmal.
03:59A number of twos.
04:03Another lovely deflection.
04:06Just run a race away, he won't stop that.
04:08Down the hill.
04:11He's got plenty of it too.
04:15Four more, 14 from the over.
04:17Least.
04:21Out.
04:23Simple enough in the end.
04:27And Umar Akmal disappointed.
04:32Like that.
04:34Just like that.
04:36Brilliant cut stroke.
04:37Going for four runs.
04:42Went hard.
04:43Overponting's head.
04:49Score on.
04:50Watson again.
04:52Good pace.
04:52Good line.
04:53Got to swap him down the ground.
04:55That's a...
04:55Bye for 2.05.
04:59Another one, guys, as well.
05:01There's a man straight there.
05:03But there's about 1,000 where the ball went.
05:05He's got 50 if it's his day.
05:08In this sort of vein, he just smashes the ball.
05:13Short to Eunice Khan.
05:15He dabs it to the man at third man.
05:17And the catch is taken.
05:21The bowling that we've spoken about, particularly down in Hobart,
05:23is one of the worst.
05:25Down she goes.
05:26Back.
05:27Eighth over.
05:281 to 37.
05:29Short ball.
05:30Eunice Khan.
05:31First pill.
05:32Batting power play.
05:34Takes a wicket.
05:35Eunice Khan departs a 46 from 74 ball.
05:40That's where the gaps are.
05:42Ward now behind the batsman.
05:45Got to get full now to...
05:46Viewing that Afridi's left it.
05:49And that's it.
05:51A great average in one day in the Nationals.
05:53Mohamed Amir.
05:55Mohamed Amir's gone for a duck.
05:57Two balls to go.
05:58And it's nicked again.
06:01Short boundary.
06:02Four.
06:06Their own records.
06:07This time he backs away.
06:09The bowler follows him.
06:11And the ball's out of the ground.
06:13He can do anything.
06:14Well he probably chose the longest boundary on the ground to play that shot.
06:21Not just went over the rope.
06:22It went seven or eight rows back.
06:25That's a massive six.
06:28Still faster.
06:30Shorter.
06:31Different result.
06:32But it's all good for Pakistan.
06:36Off spinner.
06:37Scooped.
06:37Scooped.
06:38That's nearly gone for six.
06:41He's just got inside the line and helped it on its way along.
06:44Again I think.
06:46Back and away over off.
06:48No third man.
06:49All there is is empty space to watch.
06:55Fast the ball.
06:56Edged again.
06:57Frustrations for the Baggy Greens.
07:00As bad as it sounds it was good bowling by Clint Mackay.
07:02Fires it in this time.
07:04Greedy gets hit on the pads.
07:06Australia want the umpire to have a look at it.
07:09But it's only the scorer.
07:10Clear of it.
07:11He's got to also steer clear of anything down the ground.
07:14No way.
07:17That's downtown.
07:20Flat into the crowd.
07:22No one's even thought about trying to catch this.
07:25That is right out of the middle.
07:28Low miss off.
07:30That one's short.
07:32It's scooped up.
07:34The man's down.
07:35A bit wicket.
07:35Takes it.
07:36Mike Hussey.
07:38Removes Shahida Freedy on 48.
07:40What's opener?
07:41Commonwealth Bank one day opener against Australia.
07:44This time he's got it.
07:46He's gone down the ground.
07:47Straight to Michael Clarke.
07:49Watson picks up a fourth.
07:51But the ninth wicket goes down for 270 for bowling line-up.
07:57Well that's hit the man too.
07:58Have a field.
08:00Hit the body.
08:01Has a bit of glove.
08:01It doesn't matter because he's a victim of a double play if that's the case.
08:05He's down the other end.
08:07It's 74.
08:09And as we've said, 48 from Freedy.
08:12We're here to Australia.
08:14Bowled as well as they possibly can.
08:16Four wickets.
08:17It's going to be four.
08:22You can't go straight to left-hands with that fields.
08:27It'll be four wives.
08:28Should be out this time.
08:37Yes it is.
08:38That's a very big wicket.
08:39It's no wonder he looks a bit mystified.
08:43So Watson.
08:4429.
08:46Textbook.
08:47Test match order really.
08:49And Sean Marsh helps himself to four.
08:51So they bat conventionally.
08:52Maybe Cameron White and Brad.
08:56And that's White of off.
08:58He overcorrects.
08:59And bowls into Sean Marsh's slot.
09:06Miss it.
09:08Straight to the man.
09:09Run and a beat.
09:11About Pakistan tonight.
09:12There's a little bit more than.
09:14They've policed the rule.
09:17To the letter of the law.
09:18So fair enough.
09:20And that is good enough.
09:22Michael Clarke goes to nine.
09:24They're hanging in well.
09:25Even though it's so dour and so tough.
09:28Tonting goes long.
09:29It's all the way.
09:32Nearly.
09:38Oh they're taking the run.
09:39Oh this will be hard.
09:39He would have been out by Miles.
09:41Well that's the sort of opportunity you've got to take.
09:46Bounced up nicely for him as well.
09:48In the air.
09:50Yes it's got him.
09:52Well there we are.
09:53Afridi.
09:5448 with the ball.
09:56And now the wicket of Ponty.
09:57Very.
09:57Since then he's been beautiful.
10:00That's close.
10:01Very close.
10:03Well perhaps it was a little bit.
10:05I think that's pretty close to have for me.
10:07It doesn't spin the long way.
10:09I reckon that's a help.
10:10Mark Taylor.
10:12Tony Greig.
10:12And that's 50 to Michael Clarke.
10:14Very well played.
10:1550 or 58 deliveries.
10:17Just the one four.
10:18A lot of it get carried away here.
10:22Oh and got the ball back very quickly.
10:25The question asked.
10:26Michael Clarke thought there was going to be a run.
10:31In the end he gets back.
10:32The rest have got to be under shoulder height.
10:36That's hurt.
10:36That's hurt.
10:38Oh yes that's hurt.
10:40Now where did that hit him?
10:40On the arm?
10:42Or was it straight in the rib cage?
10:44Misses everything.
10:46Straight into the ribs.
10:47The air from your lungs just goes.
10:50Watch that replay.
10:51Michael Clarke hasn't moved.
10:52He's just on his feet now.
10:56Oh yes this will be close.
10:58Oh I think this will be close.
10:59He's hit the stumps.
11:01I reckon this might.
11:03It's pretty well done.
11:04Oh yes he's out by miles.
11:06That's very well done.
11:08It's all for 186.
11:11A real cliffhanger.
11:12He deserves it.
11:15Reminiscent of the way Dean Jones and other victims.
11:17That's the only talent.
11:18Oh now it's away with some guys.
11:23Ackmal.
11:25For the bouncer.
11:26Hussey swings and misses.
11:29And Ackmal's got to stay down lower.
11:31Get the footwork going.
11:33Grout cannot wait to stand up and applaud that innings.
11:40Overcover.
11:43Beautifully played.
11:44That's a good victory for Australia.
11:45Great weight of a series.
11:47Way to start the series.
11:48Because it was a good hard chase.
11:50When you're chasing 275 at the gather.
11:52Hussey needs mentioning.
11:54And maybe even Ricky Ponning.
11:55He's not batting at his best.
11:57But at least he gutsed it out for 27.
11:59And Brisbane did.
12:00So they have their chance to bounce back strong.
12:02But bat, ball.
12:04And probably not in the field.
12:05These sides are evenly matched.
12:07There were at least one hundred thousand times.
12:08Okay, thenיה that's a good time.
12:12Bye.
12:14This is up.
12:14The tree is actually a rough one.
12:15The tree is a rough one.
12:16The tree is nicely waned.
12:17Now you are playing for some water.
12:18Speaking of the trees.
