       Australia have made two changes to the side that played the West
        Indies last Wednesday

       Allowing Brett Lee to return to the side, and Simon Katich to make

        absence
       Zimbabwe have won the toss and elected to bat first
       The one change to the Zimbabwean line-up, Trevor Madondo, who
        looked a bit out of sorts opening the batting in Brisbane, goes
