       Welcome to the WACA ground in Perth for the 13th ING match
       of season 2002-03. The day is hot and bright and this
       evening should be cooler though a little bit muggy.
       The track looks good from a distance, new security measures
       means I cannot get onto the ground to inspect it closely.
       Of ten pitches in the centre square, this is the 3rd in from
       the eastern edge, and over to the west two tracks later is
       being prepared for the Pura Cup 4-day match starting
       Saturday.
       Both captains in this match - Mike Hussey and Jimmy Maher
       have arrived in town fresh from their match against Sri Lanka
       for Australia-A. WA keeper Campbell and the Queenslanders
       Symonds, Noffke and Hauritz also played in that match.
       Hauritz will have to be hoping that his killing of the seagull
       last night hasnt brought him any lasting bad luck. We will be
       on his case bringing you any hard luck stories as the night
       progresses.
       Western Australia: Rogers, Meuleman, Goodwin, Hussey (c), Marsh,
        Campbell (wk), Harvey, Nicholson, Karppinen, Thorp (debut), Angel
        and Wilson.
       Queensland: Maher (c), Payne (debut), Perren, Carseldine, Symonds,
        Nash, Hopes, Seccombe (wk), Kasprowicz, Noffke, Hauritz and Brant.
       The toss was won by Western Australia, so ...
       Western Australia will set a target batting first and Queensland
        will chase it down.

       I think Western Australia will be very pleased they arrived at a
        total of 226
       They got off to an alright start with Meuleman and Rogers bursting
        out of the blocks, but they got bogged down toward the end of
        their innings
       Goodwin was enterprizing and Campbell looked dangerous, Hussey was
        well short of his best being deceived by the flight of the Hauritz
        delivery
       Marsh was very entertaining - though he spent some time waiting on
        the right ball to punnish and the crowd gave him some curry about
        it
       Harvey served only to remove the youngster and was soon out himself
       Nicholson and Karppinen played well at the tail
       Hopes was the better bowler though Hauritz ended up with three
        wickets
       Hopes should have had three also but was cruelly denied
       Otherwise it was a good effort by Queensland to restrict WA to a
        low score
       Set a target of 227 at a run rate of 4.54 the game is in the
        balance at this stage evenly poised
