       Welcome to our coverage of the third match of this Carlton Series,
        Australia playing the West Indies for the second time this
        tournament
       The West Indies have an excellent record against Australia at this
        ground, winning all six of the past six one-day internationals
        here
       The news is that Steve Waugh is out of the Australian side with an
        injury, we are unsure at present as to what that injury is
       So Darren Lehmann returns to the side after over a year's absence
       Adam Gilchrist will captain the side for the first time in one-day
        international
       Brett Lee also comes into the side, taking Ian Harvey's place
       The West Indies have made one change to their victorious side from
        last night, Cameron Cuffy being replaced by fellow pace bowler
        Marlon Black
       The toss has been won by West Indian captain Jimmy Adams, and he
        has chosen to bat first
       Glenn McGrath to open to bowling from the Vulture St end
