Match State: Match start scheduled for 10am AEST (0.00 GMT)
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

keeper

back and caresses the ball away through cover in typical Mark
