Match State: Stumps - Day 1

       Welcome to the second day's play of this Pura Cup match between New
        South Wales and Western Australia from Newcastle's Number One
        Sports Ground
       New South Wales' only home match in this competition away from
        their traditional home of the Sydney Cricket Ground
       A nice and sunny day here in Newcastle, lovely blue sky, barely a
        cloud in the sky
       New South Wales will resume this morning in a healthy position at
        seven wickets for 322 runs
       But with those seven wickets being those of the seven recognised
        batsmen, the visitors have a good chance of wrapping this innings
        up quickly against a weak tail
       The fact that Stuart Clark, often the non-batsman in the one-day
        matches, is the number eight batsman tends to suggest that this is
        far from the strongest of lower orders
       Nicholson to bowl the first over of the morning

  96.2 Nicholson to Clark, no run, swerving back and away from a short
        delivery
  96.3 Nicholson to Clark, no run, gets on the back foot, playing and
        missing trying to defend a short ball, ball goes through outside
        off untouched
  96.4 Nicholson to Clark, two runs, full on the leg, Clark gives it a
        neat flick away through backward square leg, Angel fields in the
        deep
  96.5 Nicholson to Clark, no run, taken on the front pad, no appeal for
        lbw
  96.6 Nicholson to Clark, no run, let go outside off

End of over 97 (2 runs) New South Wales 324/7

        New South Wales hosting Western Australia at a bright and sunny
        Newcastle
       Western Australia now on top of this match thanks to some wonderful
        batting between Mike Hussey and Shaun Marsh
       Shaun Marsh the more dashing of the two, providing the highlight of
        yesterday's plays with two successive sixes, both pulls over the
        mid wicket fence, off Mark Waugh, to bring up his maiden first-
        class century
       And yet it was Marsh's off side play that showed his class,
        particularly with his exquisite cover driving, this 19 year old
        looks a real player of the future
       Mike Hussey also demonstrating his reknown class, playing shots all
        around the wicket, his preparedness to use his feet and get down
        the track to MacGill was a real feature, he is now just ten runs
        short of his century

        wickets for 111 runs, but still managing to clinch first innings
        points in the final wicket partnership
       Which would leave the visitors satisfied

       This match is going right down to the wire, both sides teetering on
        the brink of victory, and there's only two overs remaining in this
        match
  70.1 Katich to Clark, no run, careful defence from the crease back to
        the bowler
  70.2 Katich to Clark, no run, back to a short one, awful forcing shot,
        gets a leading edge, rolls to Bollinger at backward point
  70.3 Katich to Clark, two runs, big swing away through the on side, in
        the air landing safely at mid wicket
  70.4 Katich to Clark, one run, forward defensively, runs it off an edge
        to short third man
  70.5 Katich to Casson, one run, pitched up, miscues the slog but gets
        enough on it to have it roll through mid wicket
  70.6 Katich to Clark, no run, goes for a big slog over square leg,
        misses and is taken on the pad, there's no appeal for lbw

End of over 71 (4 runs) Western Australia 296/9 (RR: 4.17 RRR: 3/1 = 3.00)
SM Katich 14-3-45-5 - National Park End
B Casson 8* (20b) MW Clark 3* (5b)

       We enter the last over now and things are looking very tense, all
        four results possible
  71.1 MacGill to Casson, no run, leans forward with a big swinging slog
        drive, misses down the off side, Haddin collects for the stumping,
        but Casson's back foot is planted
  71.2 MacGill to Casson, OUT: steps forward with a big slog drive
        straight down the ground, a good catch taken by the fielder
        running back from long off

       Western Australia 296/10, Partnership of 4
       B Casson  c Clarke b MacGill  8 (22b 0x4 0x6)
       MW Clark 3* (5b) SCG MacGill 26.2-1-112-5 (1nb)

       And what an ending! A two run victory for New South Wales, taking
        the last six wickets for 24 runs, with the match ending in the
        last scheduled over of the day
       And second innings five wicket hauls for the two former Western
        Australians, wrist spinners Simon Katich and Stuart MacGill,
        winning the match for the home side
