Welcome to the first day of this Pura Cup match between New South
Wales and South Australia
The news is that New South Wales captain Steve Waugh has won the
toss and sent the Redbacks into bat
It looks a slightly greenish pitch, conditions are a bit overcast,
so it looks to be a sensible decision
The selection changes for New South Wales are as follows:
Australian captain Steve Waugh replaces the Australia A selected
Michael Clarke, and Don Nash comes in for Stuart Clark who is also
playing for Australia A
Three changes for South Australia, Chris Davies and Damien Fleming
are out injured with hamstring and shoulder complaints
respectively, whilst Greg Blewett will also be playing for
Australia A this weekend, their replacements are
Test batsman Darren Lehmann who resumes the captaincy, batsman Ben
Higgins and left arm quick Mark Harrity
Brett Lee will be starting from the Randwick end, Fitzgerald on
strike, Johnson his partner

And that is lunch
With South Australia taking the honours slightly, the one loss of
Johnson in the second hour, but overall a tidy session for the
Redbacks, Steve Waugh probably would've been looking for more
wickets after choosing to bowl

played some good shots as well, Lehmann looks in nice touch
getting off to a typically fast start already

And that ends the session, South Australia again taking the honours
and now well and truly on top
Fitzgerald and Lehmann have both had their moments, both dropped at
times and had a bit of luck with some streaky shots, but in the
latter part of that session they have looked much more composed
The pace trio of Lee, Nash and Bracken have all looked dangerous at
times, Lee probably the most menacing but also the most expensive,
and this pair has gradually worn them down
And in the last part of the session the South Australians were
feasting on the much more innocuous bowling of MacGill and Waugh

And that is stumps
With New South Wales taking the honours in the final session, but
South Australia taking the day's honours
Four wickets in that final session gives New South Wales of not
allowing South Australia's score to get too inflated
But you'd have to think they would be unhappy with 5 wickets for
319 after sending the Redbacks in
Lee far and away the pick of the bowlers, he went for a few runs
but looked very menacing for the most part and ended the day the
sole destroyer with five wickets
A superb innings from Fitzgerald the day's highlight, he looked a
batsman close to being dropped before today but has responded in a
wonderful fashion, he looked scratchy early and had some anxious
moments, but steadily gained his composure
Lehmann was also in good nick - although also not without some
anxious moments - and it was dissapointing to see him fall short
of a century
South Australia will be looking to build on this further tomorrow,
a 450 plus score would really set them up for the match, however
NSW can still realistically restrict South Australia to around
350, giving them a chance of taking points out of this

And now they leave the field at High Noon
Players left the field at 12.00pm, rain was heavy for a minute or
two and the covers are on the pitch. As at 12.04 it is easing off
again.
An above average crowd for a Friday of a Pura Cup game at the SCG
now huddling into the covered areas of the stands.
1.00pm: The showers of the past hour have almost stopped. It is now
lunch till 1.40pm so hopefully we'll have a resumption of play
then, although there are still dark clouds about. We'll let you
know when there is any news of a resumption in play here at
the SCG.
Match State: Lunch - Day 2
1.40pm: We've had showers coming and going during the lunch break.
Groundsmen are now removing the covers, and there is some surface
water to be removed.
This means we'll have a late start after lunch, and havign lost
more than an hours play, won't get a full 96 overs today.
It's still overcast at the SCG, and the low cloud cover to the
south and south west indicates that we may get more rain this
afternoon.
Play will resume at 1.55pm and continue till 7pm, with lost time to
be made up tomorrow morning.
At least four overs to be made up tomorrow.. we're currently aiming
at a 92-over day today. The tea break has been amended to 4.40-5pm
Players and umpires return to the field with a net loss at this
stage of 15 minutes play to be carried over tomorrow.

The rain is getting heavier and it's time to leave the field again
at 5.12pm
5.45pm: The rain has set in at the SCG. It doesn't seem very likely
that we will have any further play here today, and we are awaiting
further advice from the umpires.
Play has been called off for the day by the umpires at 6pm
We've seen 42.5 overs of action at the SCG, with the South
Australian innings folding quickly to be all out for 397.
Brett Lee's career-best 7/113 was the highlight. New South Wales
are 3/84 at stumps, with Steve Waugh and Simon Katich at the
crease, and Mark Waugh next man in.
Play will commence at the Sydney Cricket Ground half an hour early
tomorrow at 10.30am local time. We'll see you then.
