Pura Cup: New South Wales v Queensland at Sydney, 4-7 Mar 2004

Ball-by-Ball Commentary


Match State: Day 1 start at 11.00am AEDT (0000 GMT)

       Welcome to this clash between New South Wales and Queensland in
        this season's final round of Pura Cup cricket
       And what an important match it may prove to be, a quasi semi final
        if you like, with both teams still holding on to some hope of
        reaching the final
       Queensland would require an outright win in this match and Tasmania
        to pick up no more than two points against Victoria
       Whilst the equation is a bit tighter for the home side, NSW also
        need outright points but can't afford Tasmania to even take first
        innings points in the match down in Hobart
       NSW captain Steve Waugh has won the toss and sent Queensland into
        bat
       A late change to the Queensland side, Ashley Noffke has pulled up
        this morning with an ankle injury, his replacement is Daniel
        MacKenzie, who is currently in Brisbane waiting for a flight!
