       Australia are coming off their off season to start the build up

       In this tourney opener yesterday Pakistan won by 4 wickets after a
        struggle against Kenya and their normally fragile batting is
        suffering from the ejection of Yousuf Youhana and a injury problem

        Champs will want to get off on a winning note today

Rashid Latif 17* (42b 2x4) 

       This was Pakistan's lowest total against Australia and they did
        just evade the lowest total in this ground
       A thoroughly professional win by Australia who must have been
        secretly practicing all winter!
       This was also Pak's biggest loss
        A bonus point for australia too
       The defeat seemed inevitable after the massive onslaght unleashed
        by Ponting and more so by Hayden in the first session
       Pakistan were not to hot yesterday though they won and will need to
        do a lot of homework, perhaps they are banking on getting to the
        final due to the weaker Kenya side
       The Pak supporters will be hoping for a comeback after this game
       The next match is Pak v Kenya on Sunday 1st Sept
       Gillespie was the best bowler today getting his best ODI figures, 5
        for 20
       The man of the match and other ceremonies on
       Waqar says it was indeed a disaster today and we need to do a lot
        of work
       Ponting is happy and prolly a perfect one day performance or close
        to it, sayd Hayden's knock was sensational and happy with
        Gillespies performance
       Says we plan some golf tomorrow
       Man of the AMtch is naturally Hayden
       Thank you all for being here, do join us on Sunday for the next
        game at 06:30GMT, Good Night and any comments to
