       Welcome to our coverage of the first match of the newly named ING
        Cup
       Today sees New South Wales up against Victoria
       The New South Wales side is strengthened by some of their
        international stars in Mark Waugh, Michael Slater, Michael Bevan,
        Stuart MacGill and Glenn McGrath but also missing some in Steve
        Waugh, Brett Lee and Nathan Bracken
       Victoria likewise are strengthened with Harvey, Warne and Fleming
        playing
       Shane Lee won the toss for NSW and they will be batting first
       In a new innovation for spectators to possibly win $1000, by
        catching a six from a nominated player from each side, and the
        respective captains have nominated Mark Waugh and Jason Arnberger
        as the 'Catch a Six Trump Player'
       Damien Fleming to open the bowling from the scoreboard end, with
        Mark Waugh on strike
   0.1 Fleming to Waugh, no run, moves his pad out to the line of the ball
        going down off, bat raised intent on leaving, must've brushed his
        pad, as there's a long sustained appeal from the Victorians but
        that looked far from out
   0.2 Fleming to Waugh, wide: no run, loose one down off, Waugh content
        to leave
   0.2 Fleming to Waugh, no run, bit better line this time, just short of
        a length and Waugh leaves once again
   0.3 Fleming to Waugh, no run, gets bat to it first the first time, just
        moving a bit on the back foot and blocking the ball down
        cautiously on the off side
   0.4 Fleming to Waugh, (noball) no run, shortish delivery which Waugh
        gets back to and defends down on the off side once again
   0.4 Fleming to Waugh, no run, swinging ball down off which Waugh moves
        out to and guides it down short of the slips fielders
   0.5 Fleming to Waugh, no run, back and leaving the ball through to the
        keeper
   0.6 Fleming to Waugh, FOUR, slightly short and outside off, Waugh leans
        back and caresses the ball away through cover in typical Mark
        Waugh style
