West Indies captain Jimmy Adams has won the toss and sent Australia

Australian batsmen Mark Waugh and Adam Gilchrist opening the
batting for Australia today
The Australian batting line-up in a more familiar order today
Nixon McLean opening the bowling from the Paddington end
0.1 McLean to ME Waugh, no run, back, defends a ball on middle and off
solidly, no thought of a run there
0.2 McLean to ME Waugh, one run, back, cautiously once again, a ball on
middle and leg, he manages to fend it down into the ground onto
the on side, and they take off for a quick single
0.3 McLean to Gilchrist, no run, pad well forward, bat raised, quite
content to see the ball pass a fair qway outside off stump
0.4 McLean to Gilchrist, no run, back, a bit more attacking this time,
cutting the ball into the ground, collected by the fielder at
point, stops any chance of a run
0.5 McLean to Gilchrist, no run, forward, driving, searching to get off
the mark, but its straight to the fielder at mid off
0.6 McLean to Gilchrist, no run, back, no shot offered this time, just
letting the ball go by, outside off stump
End of over 1 (1 run) Australia 1/0 (RR: 1.00)
NAM McLean 1-0-1-0 - Paddington End
ME Waugh 1* (2b) AC Gilchrist 0* (4b)
Cameron Cuffy from the Randwick end now, and the tune he's chosen
to come on to, "Don't worry be happy" is playing
1.1 Cuffy to ME Waugh, no run, back, popping the ball down on the on
side, thinking about a run, not there to be taken
1.2 Cuffy to ME Waugh, no run, fended down on the off side behind the
crease, Waugh takes a few steps down the pitch, but walks back to
his ground once he sees the fielders onto it
1.3 Cuffy to ME Waugh, no run, back, raised bat, leaves a ball that
darts back in from outside off, keeps a bit low, just a small
margin wide and high of off stump
1.4 Cuffy to ME Waugh, one run, squeezed out to the on side, they take
a slightly risky single, but they are fast enough, beating the
throw into the non-striker's end
1.5 Cuffy to Gilchrist, legbye: one run, popped out, off the pad,
gently on the on side, seeing it behind square on the on side
1.6 Cuffy to ME Waugh, no run, back, defended, pushing to the off side,
not much thought of a run there
End of over 2 (2 runs) Australia 3/0 (RR: 1.50)
CE Cuffy 1-0-1-0 - Randwick End
AC Gilchrist 0* (5b) ME Waugh 2* (7b)
2.1 McLean to Gilchrist, no run, great ball, Gilchrist is back and
pushing defensively at the ball, gets a thick inside edge onto the
pad, lucky to miss leg stump
2.2 McLean to Gilchrist, no run, forward, defensively, just pushing
back down the pitch to the bowler
2.3 McLean to Gilchrist, no run, pitched at nearly yorker length,
Gilchrist is reaching down to it, slapping it uppishly to the off
side, but hitting it with no real carry, bouncing out to the
fielder at point
2.4 McLean to Gilchrist, no run, back, played defensively and solidly
to the off side
2.5 McLean to Gilchrist, two runs, forward, driving in the direction of
the fielder at mid off, they decide to take him on and they get an
easy single out of it, the fielder makes it two with a wild and
unncecessary throw at the non-striker's end which isn't taken by
the two fielders
at the stumps
2.6 McLean to Gilchrist, one run, back to a shorter ball, cutting in
the air, but safely wide of any fielders through backward point
for a comfortable single

3.2 Cuffy to Gilchrist, no run, on the back foot, pushing defensively
to the fielder at cover
3.3 Cuffy to Gilchrist, no run, again getting back to defend, this time
playing back down the pitch, the bowler collects the ball on the
bounce
3.4 Cuffy to Gilchrist, FOUR, lovely shot, gets back to a ball which is
a bit too short and a bit too wide and gives it the treatment it
deserves, cracking it away through the off side in front of point
3.5 Cuffy to Gilchrist, no run, back, trying to cut again, but the ball
probably wasn't quite there to be cut this time, makes it look
ugly as he misses everything
3.6 Cuffy to Gilchrist, no run, looking to push the ball to the off
side, taken on the pad, gets the bowler a bit excited, but no real
appeal
End of over 4 (4 runs) Australia 10/0 (RR: 2.50)

pitch outside off and going away from off
4.3 McLean to Gilchrist, no run, ball pitched on leg and middle,
darting towards off, taking Gilchrist on the pad, popping out to
the off side, big appeal but its turned down, the height was
probably the biggest worry there
4.4 McLean to Gilchrist, one run, driven to mid off, the throw at non-
striker's stumps sees another overthrow but no extra runs result
this time
4.5 McLean to ME Waugh, wide: no run, ball angles down leg, Waugh
thinks about a shot, but just plays and misses, leaving the ball
on its path to allow for the inevitable call

6.3 McLean to ME Waugh, one run, fended down on the ground behind the
crease, they take a very risky single as the fielder Joseph from
gully makes a great throw at the non-striker's end, Nagamootoo
mucks up the take, had he got the bails off effectively Waugh
surely would've been
gone
6.4 McLean to Gilchrist, no run, swinging and missing to a short of a
length ball outside off, the outside edge not a huge way away from
the outside edge
6.5 McLean to Gilchrist, no run, just leaving the ball outside off this
