Match State: Drinks - 14:40 AWST

       Answering some email's: Katich flew in this morning. Play started
        without him. He was certainly on the field by the first drinks
        break.
       I cannot speculate on NSW players in grade at the moment. If Lee
        does make a come back he might find it hard getting into this star

       WA gain two points from the declaration, they remain last on 4
        points with NSW ahead of them on 11 and the outright result to
        play for.

   1.4 Nicholson to Langer, FOUR, played into mid wicket - Langer sends

        back it up - into the long off rope it goes - well foxed that run
