00:00the first game in this johnny walker series it could be a fantastic cricket
00:16match i've got the two captains here with me sean pollick from the world
00:1911 and of course ricky pointing the australian captain
00:21i've got ranjan madadale the matreferi here to oversee things ricky you have
00:25the coin it's up heads is the call it is a tail ricky ricky have won the toss what will you be
00:34doing yeah we're gonna have a bat michael uh the wicket uh it looks very good les burdette's been
00:39in charge of preparing him and he is he prepares pretty good ones so uh we'll have a hit and
00:42hopefully make a good total sean would you have done anything different obviously you have no choice
00:47yeah i don't know i think we didn't really know what a good score was they've obviously played a
00:51a lot more than us so they know the wicked would better so we're not really unhappy
00:55basically only starts the game it sort of also fits into our super sub because shahady free
00:59is a sub so we can always bring them into that as well well the situation is that ricky pointing
01:03has won the toss and australia will batting first yeah i'm haunting look mighty pleased to do so richie
01:09no matthew hayden at the top of the order and nathan bracken included down the bottom of it yeah
01:13unusual sight uh no hayden there but you've got gilchrist and caddy's two left handers and ponting
01:18the skipper damian martin who's been left out of the test side but is in the one days
01:23collection of players put together for the icc world 11 with the verinda savag and kuma sangakara
01:29brilliant stroke makers at the top of the list but then that all-powerful middle order that is a
01:33terrific lineup you've got jacques cullis and brian lara kevin peterson who hit that wonderful hundred in
01:38the last of the ashes matches just recently ryle dravid andrew flintoff sean pollack daniel vittori
01:44100 test level to his credit shy back to matiah muruliteran and shade afridi who's a hell of a
01:50player is the super sub adam gilchrist taking guard tony greck pointed out looks to be a very good pitch
01:58good average and a wonderful strike rate but during the ashes tour with the bat so and a little bit of
02:05pressure the other end simon caddy's 18th match early days good strike rate and reasonable average
02:22good start a bit of swing in off of the run full swing from off to leg
02:27brian lara number four for the icc world 11.
02:39pollack
02:42gilchrist straight through him what a magnificent delivery
02:46but all around that adam gilchrist lucky not to get an edge
02:50in the air there he goes and there she goes one bounce gilchrist away
03:06yep nicely played he's got it fine
03:09that's four more beautiful batting by adam gilchrist the over is gone
03:13eight off the over none for nine
03:19crash magnificent cabal drive
03:24152 k's left the river so it was blocked right off the meat of the bat
03:33oh what a shot what a ripper the first big one in the series
03:38it's gone all the way now it hasn't just short
03:43fix many over none for 24
03:49there he goes again this time through mid wicket
03:54what a fine feeling wouldn't keep a batsman aggressive enormous talent
04:00good shot through the covers and that should go all the way to the boundary
04:09there's 20 hits and they stay here
04:12he's played that stroke well today
04:19well that's a deflection i think of the thigh pad he was trying to play at it
04:22and uh it's gone off the thigh flag flying away down to fine leg for four leg buys
04:29big defection that one 12 from the over no wicket for 48
04:44well he's uh headed into the gap it may just get there will it not quite
04:50sean pollock the fuse
04:53as well feel that uh got to be a little bit careful sliding on this ground
05:01oops and uh nick there and nick and well sangakara went for it i think he did his best i don't think
05:08he pulled his glove out of the way i think he went uh as far as he possibly could
05:13drive it standing wide the ball ended up going right between them
05:19and there we are he goes full length but can't quite get there in fact didn't get anywhere near it
05:28well that's in the air it's an and it's a no ball so it makes no difference
05:32well the catch was taken no trouble at all but no ball call
05:45he's blasted that one through the offside as well not quite off the middle of the bat that time so
05:50uh well i think he might have dragged it back pollock's doing some really good work on the boundary
05:56and he really is
05:57oh they're asking and uh now simon towerful here we go
06:09this is the first of the referrals well it's important for the viewers to know let's have a
06:14look at this first but this was expected now the tv empire doesn't have the benefit of the snick
06:21commuter that we normally use to judge whether there's a snake to judge whether there was any
06:27sound of the bat he won't get the aid of sneakometer all he has to do is look at the visual evidence
06:33that he gets and help the umpire on the field and as you can see with thin edges i don't think
06:41technology will really help the tv empire to come out with something substantial for the umpire on the field
06:47he's chatting away with the third umpire rudy cuts in the south africa not out is the decision
06:57that's the signal for not out
07:02it's two minutes of the day gone
07:07got in not such a great start now important breakthrough that will lift the spirits of the
07:14world 11 side because it's adam gilchrist the man who's got it's once again the angle that troubles
07:24him ball coming back in round the wicket the length i think was excellent on this occasion
07:31big gate opens up for callous to sneak through the first wickets gone gilchrist for 45
07:44the australian captain ricky ponding wonderful record particularly in this form of the game to average over 40
07:57splendid stroke
08:01when there's some width there cadditch is very keen to get into it
08:12that's brilliant
08:16and made to look almost impossibly easy
08:26and that's the best of ponting too
08:31cracker jack of the stroke
08:34it's got them going it's fun for 98
08:42it's a slow piece of the outfield there it's one of the relayed areas they
08:46trouble with the growth of the grass in the indoor stadium at telstra dome and
08:52that the ball is slow up across that outfield it won't stop the score going past 100
08:56that's one of the older bits of the outfield and the ball went very smoothly across it
09:10oh that's got to be close yes uh it's going to be referred as uh is so often the case i don't think
09:26that was a direct hit
09:29they seem very confident though third umpire will be having a look at these replays trying to decide
09:34exactly what the situation is
09:36i think he got in we'll see yeah he's okay and uh let's have a look here we go
09:47not out
09:49you did right though direct hit would have been all over it is it's a it's such a fine line
09:54oh it's in the air it's down the ground it's well played just short of the boundary
10:06we've been a long way up
10:07one for one 18
10:15oh it's in the air this has gone high almost up to the roof oh it's a good catch if he takes it he does
10:20beautifully taken
10:24lyra coming in from the point boundary
10:28watch that one perfect took the catch absolutely perfectly boy did it go up a long way
10:33i think everyone realizes how important that big it was and how pleasing it was for sean
10:40follow big celebrations after the catch was taking grand lara one of the safest hands around
10:47was under it look at that celebration ricky punting the australian captain goes for 23
10:54two for 128
10:55very good strike rate that 78 runs per 100 balls faced
11:03absolutely nothing wrong with that average either as a matter of fact that's a fantastic average
11:09so damian martin has arrived at the crease now and um with katic
11:18in the air this could be out yes it's taken
11:20the tory going quite a long way to his right there
11:28and damian martin regrettably is out for a duck
11:35this is not turning out to be his season
11:40didn't quite get to the pitch that was his problem and if you are not getting to the pitch
11:44against more leader and it's pretty difficult to drive right over the top
11:50let's feel the trouble to score as damian martin it's three four one twenty eight
11:58right so damian martin is back in the pavilion out for a duck and uh andrew simon's now out in the
12:04center with katic whose innings is becoming more and more important although still plenty of batting to come
12:10that's his 50. back for the second as well so that's uh three fifties in one day internationals
12:25now for package this has been a pretty important innings
12:34this lovely piece of barley he's been pushing the ball through and keeping caddy in his crease
12:49and that one he gave quite a bit more air drew him forward he was never going to be quite there for the stretch
12:57what a good wicket this is for the world 11 set batsmen gone
13:00i think he's really struggled in this innings to pick up muddling that was an off spinner and
13:06he was looking to play towards mid wicket not really getting to the pitch of the ball
13:10that means that was a great chance of getting the leading it that's what happened
13:14caddy's gone for 58 australian are 142 for four
13:1827.2 and caddy's just gone michael clark the new batsman
13:32well it's gonna be a good catch if he gets it
13:36it was only the slip on the damp ground that stopped him getting around
13:41it was a very good effort it just slipped at the start
13:50no position to play the pull shot complete miscue there good attempt by callis
13:56take it yeah oh he's gone what a soft dismissal very good wicket good change of pace
14:02australian's in trouble quite gone for six that's beautiful going by the left arm spinner he just
14:07held it back was a very slow delivery and kite fell for the three card trick big wicket what a bowler
14:20wasn't really a great deal of spin on that delivery but that's what he wanted
14:23daniel vittori he wasn't intending to spin it a great deal
14:27just a simple return catch australia slipping it's five for one fifty four
14:38very good piece of bowling by the tour he held it back he did michael clark in the air
14:47great shot perfect square cut almost a square drive there from michael hussey a bit of width
14:55superbly placed
14:59correct beautifully played some width and away it went
15:0435 gone on five for one six nine
15:15come on get him there's a chance home i think
15:21i say he's safe he's asked me for the third umpire but i'm sure he's home
15:27television replay on power would occur and shouldn't have any problems with making this decision
15:35i think having trouble with the big screen but certainly not out there's no problem there
15:38you'll give the not out decision there it is not out by a tall foot
15:41but that's a good shot that's going way over the top yeah that's a great shot into the crowd
15:50beautifully placed it's a long boundary down there and uh that one was right out of the meat of the
15:56bat simons is a big hitter when he wants to be
16:02now that nicely judged some of the safest hands in cricket belong to andrew flintoff
16:10so it's for tori who strikes again
16:15there's always joy when you get gilchris but when you get andrew simons there's double joy
16:19that was beautifully taken he's so calm out there he's got wonderful hands flint off
16:26just watch how easily he takes this i'm not too sure it's a good idea to go and drop kick the ball
16:30afterwards but just watch this takes it so easy and then uh straight between the posts
16:36and then he got himself into that halfway house where you're going at it hard
17:05volley and it can bypass you for four but what he made sure of doing
17:12was making the stop tremendously athletic little work
17:17it's a bit of it she was going for it and realized uh right at the end he couldn't quite get there
17:24that's in the air this is going to be out caught in the deep by suspect no it's over the did he get it
17:29oh what a catch well lara going back he misjudged that he came in too far he ended up going backwards
17:37and took a magnificent catch one-handed
17:43that was a very loose-limbed effort from brian lara he had the boundary road to consider
17:47he has got such a good eye you'd never back against him
17:57it's a tremendous effort
18:01he's two from two today watson's gone for eight and it's seven for two to three
18:09so uh seven down for 223 now 46 overs have been involved brett lee is the new batsman and we know
18:15certainly from some of the things that he did in england that brett lee really can turn it on with
18:19the bat he's strike rate is 83 and that gives you an idea of what he's capable of an average that he
18:25can improve on no doubt about that
18:32right Kevin peterson is the catcher which will give him great pleasure and maybe a side relief will come
18:39with it yes no doubt about that it was hit straight to him he never looked as if he was going to do
18:46anything other than catch that one very firm strike that was right in the middle of the bat
18:52went pretty low all the way he does hit it well doesn't he
18:58and there's the catch so that's nicely taken for tori getting another one
19:02so uh he's got figures now of four for 33 end of hussey for 32 it's eight for 231
19:11right so nathan bracken is the new batsman
19:16and uh just mcgride to come
19:18so we're getting down to the end of the cities now just one board to go in the server
19:22wow what a magnificent strike
19:32greatly
19:36yes there's uh there's nothing better one fast baller dishing it out to the other
19:43it was a bit short wasn't a great delivery actually
19:45from shower back there he likes to heave the ball in that direction and with wicket and
19:50he certainly did on that occasion he's so strong good shot
20:05that is just plain old bad luck for flintov yeah you're dead right you don't uh get the bottom
20:21much better than that and uh the only place really that he could have squeezed that away for four was
20:25exactly where it went eight for two 53 one ball of the innings left
20:31good little burst here from bretley 24 from 16 balls
20:38it's really given the australian something to bowl to
20:46bracken will come back for two again and they safely make it right there
20:57256 to win the game for the world 11
21:01a brilliant collection of batsmen to do it and the super salva freely added to them
21:10a required rate of just over five and over
21:31the first time
21:40the first time
21:53oh they're beautiful
21:57granny gave them snow
21:59back to the telstra dome in melbourne this magnificent stadium that's staging the first
22:14of the johnny walker super series games today one day of 50 overs beside between australia
22:19and a very powerful looking world 11. ricky ponding won the toss
22:25he chose to bat first he seemed particularly pleased to have won that toss
22:29almost as if he wanted to get down to the business of exercising demons from england immediately 45
22:35gilchrist 58
22:36cadditch 23 ponding 36 simons 32 hussey and then a good flurry from bretley at the end made up the bulk of that 255
22:44sean pollock very tidy show back terror he got more expensive he was fine early on
22:52flintop and callis cost a few but it was the two spinners new time your return and
22:57daniel vettori who really put the brakes on the australians two for 41 muir has written from his 10
23:03and four for 33 for the new zealander who so loves to bowl at australian batsmen
23:10256 then for the world 11 to win it a rate of 5.1 and over i think both sangakara and say
23:16walk should enjoy batting on this pitch it's hard it's got substantial pounds not excessive
23:25not too much of a movement of the pitch both sangakara and say walk ideally suited to bat
23:34well on this pitch
23:40it's a very good cricket surface the pitch that's being used for this game and for the other two in
23:47this three mats limited over series it's been very well prepared it's a drop in pitch brought
23:5750 or 60 miles down dropped in to the area out in the center and so far it has played very well and
24:05the other games we've seen here the same as applied bretley once again came to the rescue of the australians
24:13with a powerful batting display at the bottom of the order 26 not out from just 17 balls alim dar the umpire
24:26just a small ear problem at the moment but that will be solved very quickly
24:30he's standing at the lock and end it's the end from which bretley is about to bowl first ball in the run chase
24:43and then i don't think so nor does it nor does the field of mike hussey look to so
24:55it has just bounced fractionally in front of his fingers very difficult to take a catch of that kind
25:03well typical say walk shot hitting through the line not really getting to the pitch of the ball
25:08just dying on hussey one bounce into his hand immediately was shaking his head
25:13so a chance similar to that one dropped in the final test match at the oval just a few weeks ago
25:35shane watson put this one down just where you would want the slip catch waist high
25:46the great cider as well
25:48the good shot that's beautiful straight he's going to be robbed of a couple by the slow outfield
26:18brilliant
26:30say that trying to pull mcgrath
26:34might have been mcgrath's quicker delivery because it seemed to hurry on to the batsman just a little
26:38not one of his great shots and just asking too much of himself as a batsman it wasn't too short
26:49it was outside the off stumped and in the end he just couldn't get that bat horizontal enough to play
26:54square on the lake side
26:56say what's innings comes to an end at six and the world 11 score 18 for one
27:06and to say bug is gone jack callous who's had a terrific year is coming at number three
27:18great shot full through mid-wicket
27:20same for car we're getting it away for four
27:36great shot beautiful cover drive on the up through the gap four runs
27:41dangerous fire plays and miss on the other case and when he finds the middle of the bat
27:45that's normally four
27:51a great shot off the last ball of the over should go all the way
27:58doesn't make it good fielding
28:03three off the roster will be nine overs gone one for 35
28:06it's gone out of the top and done it well charged the great ball hit him over the point
28:14we are off the middle of the bat
28:20that was a good shot
28:31gave him a bit of room outside the off stump but to be honest
28:34jack callous also made some room chipped yes but backed away also towards leg
28:40big shot very big one he's got in yes beautiful bowing
28:48i've got to offer had a good hard look at what
28:50fun trapped him right in front great spell from the ground he's got two for 12
28:58well what a comeback just been struck for boundary glenn mcgrath next ball full in length oh it did a bit
29:06perhaps the question would have been if it would have missed leg
29:12simon torfell didn't think it would have that's happy enough for glenn mcgrath it's two for 45
29:22that's two for 45 after 12 mcgrath has two carousel bw for right
29:28same way court for six and it's lara the great brian r of the crease the big names are here tonight
29:34lara peterson driver went off of fridi and pollock to come but that was a big wicket by mcgrath
29:41bracken in the air but safe over the top down the hill that'll be four
29:47well it's all happening here at telstodome
29:52in the air and should be out mid off coming back will we get it will we get there no he doesn't oh
29:58fear a carriage made a meal off it was in the air for a long time big miss
30:08well we are certainly seeing quite a few catches going down in this game something you're not
30:12accustomed to seeing watson dropped a quite simple one earlier on and this normally would have been
30:18taken by cottage you'd expect cottage to take that he's a good fielder just barely brushed his fingers on
30:27the way through totally misjudged it all of a sudden it's two for 50
30:38this time he's gone surely yes
30:42simons doesn't listen went to the well once too often and all of a sudden it's three for 50
30:47chose the wrong one shot to the wrong man and he heads back to the pavilion without scoring brian lara
31:02very safe catcher andrew simons you'll see lots of people dropping catches you won't see too many from
31:08that much it's three for fifty
31:19drive it at the crease
31:22two slips short cover in driver very experienced campaigner
31:28that's a good shot he smashed that one over the top before
31:39loosen outside off stop a little bit wide i'm afraid
31:46always flick that one over the onside that'll stop dead will it no it won't it's running away
31:51down to the boundary oh it's not gonna make it it's just short well that really did stop
32:06oh and it's in here and uh through that gap again
32:11and sangakara has registered a half century here he's played superbly
32:21he's got fast hands and a terrific eye and it makes him a joy to watch
32:32and of course irresistible instinct to attack as well
32:43well that's in the air that's got to be out yes that little bit of extra balance there outside
32:48off start pointing was very quick to pounce on that one
32:54and uh that's a big wicket as well rather to sort of like that can negotiate any team through this
32:59sort of problem but uh it's now going to be up to someone else peterson's about to come in this is
33:06the delivery again oh he was all over the place well now it's fire meet fire because the three guys
33:12waiting to bat all play strokes big time what celebrations by the australians
33:21dravid the man gone he made four four for 75 the rest of the world
33:28great joy from the australians at the fall of ral dravid's wicket they sense an opportunity here an
33:34opportunity to regain pride and remind australia of just how good they are they do that if they beat the
33:39rest of the world they'd pack a few in on friday as well here's kevin peterson to the crease to the
33:44commentary boxer richie benno and bill lorry oh this wide of point it goes away for four
33:53hussy made the big ones in the left hand didn't quite get there
33:56would have been a big picket 56 good evening richie benno it is a good evening lots of fun out there
34:09some good fielding in different fielding a real mixture and a really good contest
34:18well he got there in fact he might even have gone a bit too far
34:22one of those ones at the stick they've got a finger to it it's a very good effort
34:33big shout outside the way give it in
34:37he walks quickly too does peterson
34:42the finger went up quite frightening he's gone big with it for two it's five for 82
34:48i think he was looking for the single not too sure that he walked but uh
34:53watson has got through there he's been moving all around off the scene that has come back and hit
34:59him on the knee roll
35:03and pi tafel has given him the raised finger so i'd say that's fun it wasn't too high it was taking
35:08little stunt he's gone two off six five for 82 at telstodome
35:12flintov's at the crease
35:20big man six foot four
35:23and then the striker the ball is off the mark immediately
35:27yesterday at the lindsay has a club andrew flintov was guest speaker he was very humble
35:34very proud and seems to be a very intelligent young cricketer
35:41he's learned a lot in the last couple of years i've seen him make one of two brilliant hundreds
35:47and that was at the time i was talking about earlier when he was a batting all-rounder
35:50good shot could be out is oh they've put down another one this time it's bret lee couldn't catch a
36:01colton a little riddle of the australians at the moment three down tonight drop catches through with
36:07the ashes series
36:11and bradley who's bowled so well didn't look as though he got it anywhere near the middle of his hand
36:20that's hit right up in the butt end of the hand
36:26was just about down his throat
36:28it's in maybe just a slip a bit with his back left foot i'm not sure but certainly was a sitter
36:40watson the unlucky bowler
36:43and that was flintov of all people
36:49the white ball picked it up okay was in good position
36:54down it went
36:54it was actually clever bowling he's given flintov the opportunity to play one of his favorite strokes
37:05and then oh dear
37:16flintov has a boundary for all
37:19and it's five for 99
37:2418 balls for andrew flintov's 11 90 balls for kumbi sangakara's 63 he's the glue that's sticking
37:30this world 11 effort together
37:39another one gone the man at the top of the order that seemed to be keeping things together
37:44he no departs ricky ponding has got a lot right today
37:50bowling changes have been good some of his field settings very clever
37:58and now putting himself has shown all the others how to cling on
38:01big big big moment and he only just clings on
38:13the end of a splendid performance from kumbi sangakara 64 he made but it's six for 101
38:18what a performance from the australian the world 11 as super sub shayi defridi takes guard
38:30he's out there instead of new time you're littering
38:43that's gone that has gone
38:47a little quicker from simon's
38:49and super sub is on his way home
38:55well you said the right thing at the top of the his innings mark if he gets in
39:02if it's his day
39:04but that's the problem with shayi defridi it's always a big if
39:08going straight on to mid stomp hit him in line as well pitched outside off but hit him in line
39:13and that's out whichever way you want to look at it it's just the end of the 29th over and they're
39:20seven four hundred and four
39:26so
39:48i think alim dar's saying well
39:50it hit him outside the line of off stump andrew
39:56just about did
40:04pushing for a second and
40:09that is out not even a job for the third umpire
40:14sparkling stuff
40:17shane watson's had a good time with it he's bowled tidily
40:20and now with a direct hit
40:23that pollock chose to take on
40:26he does more damage for australia
40:30sean thought of not even allowing me to answer that question regarding
40:34chris gail he's a long way out
40:37long long way out
40:40trying to dive try to get that extra bit of yardage by stretching out and the diving
40:44not even that could have saved him it's eight to one one eight
40:47andrew flintoff starting to feel a lonely man at the telstra though australia have got the word 11 by the neck and they're shaking them about a bit here
41:01tori comes in at number 10
41:05the rate of 7.9 and over needed
41:09clintoff has 19
41:16but australia have really done the business they've come out and
41:22looked as if they meant it from first with the gilchrist and cadets with the bat
41:27that this is shane watson the one-handed swoop pick up
41:32and bingo
41:37oh
41:42brintoff goes for it
41:43high and long
41:46just before first time he's really out of his shoulders and with brintoff
41:50He's batting himself in a bit of practice in Australian wickets, having a good look at the bowling.
41:55He's still going to be a big danger man throughout the summer.
41:58Yes, he certainly is responsible for all sorts of good things in English cricket.
42:03One of which is that bat sales are up 40% across England during the last summer,
42:07which was absolutely fantastic.
42:09Gives you some idea of how things are moving along out there.
42:13Oh, he's hit that, he's hit that a long way.
42:19He's gone for six.
42:21He's a big hitter of the ball.
42:23That's over cover.
42:25It was a knock on but a short six.
42:27He just opened the face of the bat.
42:30Sweet as you like over cover he went.
42:33Yeah, Katic did well actually.
42:36Tried to dive and catch it.
42:39Full length he was, but inside out, that's a very, very good shot.
42:42There's Katic and didn't quite get there.
42:51Very difficult when you know that the boundary is right in front of you.
42:56He's got Gilchrist on the Australian side.
43:09He can clear the rope quite easily on the offside.
43:11We've seen Brett Lee do it on one or two occasions.
43:13That was a glorious strike.
43:14It was control.
43:15It was a full face of the bat.
43:17Look at that.
43:18That's a big, powerful strike of the ball.
43:21Look at that.
43:22Didn't move.
43:23It's kind of could be out, is it?
43:24Right down the throat of Longarm.
43:25Coming in with a catch one.
43:26Yes they do.
43:27And it's a big man.
43:28McGraw takes the catch.
43:29He doesn't drop many.
43:30He had it come in quite a long way as well.
43:31But he's got a very safe hands, Glenn McGraw.
43:32And he's latched onto another one.
43:33So, well, Watson, again.
43:34Mind you, he was trying to hit him into the stand.
43:35Didn't quite get onto it, did he?
43:36No.
43:37Stood his ground.
43:38It was a high ball.
43:39It was a high ball.
43:40McGraw did well.
43:41It wasn't quite a big ball.
43:42Yes they do.
43:43Yes they do.
43:44And it's a big man.
43:45McGraw takes the catch.
43:46He doesn't drop many.
43:47He had it come in quite a long way as well.
43:48But he's got a very safe hands, Glenn McGraw.
43:51And he's latched onto another one.
43:53So, well, Watson, again.
43:56Mind you, he was trying to hit him into the stand.
43:59Didn't quite get onto it, did he?
44:02No.
44:03Stood his ground.
44:04It was a high ball.
44:05McGraw did well.
44:06It wasn't quite a warm catch at the Adelaide Oval,
44:09but it was certainly very solid when his teammates
44:11had dropped them all over the place.
44:13Experienced campaigner gives Watson his third wicket
44:16and his final over.
44:20Nine for 150.
44:29Well, he's hit that one pretty hard.
44:30Is it going to go all the way?
44:31Not quite.
44:32Just short.
44:33Just short of the boundary down there.
44:35Mind you, it's a short delivery, too.
44:36That's one of the few bad boys in Spalding.
44:38That's one of the few bad boys in Spalding.
44:42Well, with half a chance, we're in the right position.
44:44Hit the two fieldsmen.
44:46Come from the backwood and mid-wicky positions.
44:50Over the right before.
44:51Here they come.
44:52Watson was the closest.
44:56Gone for the game.
44:57This time it's a big one.
44:58It's gone.
44:59That's what was needed in the big six.
45:00Go back up.
45:01Takes the score for nine for 162.
45:02Up to 41.
45:03Out.
45:04That's it.
45:05One up Australia.
45:06Well caught at backward point.
45:07Pointing takes the catch in there.
45:08Very, very happy team.
45:09They bounce back very quickly after losing the Ashes and they know it.
45:13Yeah, just have a look at this.
45:14There's something, just a little bit extra about this.
45:15The Australians have copped a fair bit of flank as a result of losing the Ashes.
45:28There's been plenty.
45:29There's been plenty of written about what should and shouldn't be done and I think they've
45:47really enjoyed this.
45:48They won by 93.
45:49They're up against the World 11.
45:50This is the wicket, the last wicket to fall.
45:52Pointing at backward point takes the catch and you watch his reaction here.
45:57Right over fellows and he then throws the board up towards the roof and there it is.
46:04The little celebration starts.
46:06The happy build.
46:07It's like William Tetsamondo, isn't it?
46:08Really happy one.
46:09Well they copped a bit of whack as you pointed out.
46:11They bounced back quickly and that's important but it's only one of three.
46:14Two more games here on Friday and Sunday but a great start by the Australian 11.
46:20They made a reasonable target.
46:22Only 58 was a top score but their bowl was, I thought was superb.
46:25McGrath, Bracken did well early on.
46:27Watson chipped in with three.
46:28Simons won and we at the end picked up the front of it and got two.
46:32A good all around performance by the bowls.
46:34The fielding was disappointing.
46:36So all in all the bowls started for 162 and got four catches as a fine effort.
46:41Yes it certainly was and that's the World 11's batting card.
46:47It doesn't make good reading does it?
46:52And just going through the wickets here.
46:55The first one to go was that of Sawag and this is how he got out.
46:59Trying to pull the ball away.
47:00Hit it straight to mid wicket.
47:02Almost the story of their day.
47:04And that was the LBW.
47:06Callis out LBW.
47:08After that Lara second ball hit that in the air to cover.
47:13So bad news there.
47:14Dravid came in and he got himself in a terrible tangle.
47:18So he was out caught as well.
47:20Peterson then came in expecting a lot from him and he was out LBW.
47:25So not good news as far as he was concerned.
47:28Then Sangakara who played really well.
47:31It was fumbled in the gully by Ponting but he did take the catch.
47:34And Afridi.
47:36Well again you expect big things of Afridi.
47:39Sometimes they come off that time it didn't.
47:45And Pollock on that occasion turning for the second.
47:48He never got out of second gear there and it directed at him out by miles.
47:51So the end of the World 11 captain.
47:54And of course Flintoff they were hoping would do a bit.
47:58But he didn't do too bad.
47:59He made 38 and then hit that one up in the air.
48:01McGraw making a good catch there.
48:03And this was the end of the innings.
48:05Just guided away to Ponting there and the celebration began.
48:10A very good all round bowling performance by the Australian bowlers.
