Ball-by-Ball Commentary


Match State: Match start scheduled for 14.30 AEDT (03.30 GMT)

       a mixed day so far in melbourne the nylex tower gave the
        temperature as 18C when I came in and since this morning we've
        alternated some darkish cloud with long patches of sunshine. It
        has not rained at all this morning but there was some decent rain
       late last night into the early hours of this morning, we look to be
        playing on the same wicket as used for the previous game which was
        also used for the previous ING match last sunday
       Althoguht criticised for its bounce, both wickets were not played
        well by batsmen and with a lightening outfield are good wickets
        for high scoring cricket
       Australia won the toss and elected to bat first, making 4 changes
        to the side
       Out are Mark Waugh, Harvey, the injured Williams and the suspended
        McGrath
       In come Hayden, Symonds, Bichel and Gillespie
       the milo kids rush off as the australian batsmen set themselves up
