1st Test: Australia v New Zealand at Brisbane, 18-22 Nov 2004

Ball-by-Ball Commentary


Match State: Day 1 start at 10.00am AEST (0000 GMT)

       Welcome to our coverage of the first Test of this two Test series
        between Australia and New Zealand.
       ...
       Australia finalised their side yesterday, Brett Lee being the
        unlucky bowler and given the drinks duties.
       Which is good news for Michael Kasprowicz who will play in front of
        his home crowd for the fourth time in his Test career.
       The unlucky batsman from Australia's successful tour of India was
        Simon Katich, who learned last week of his omission.
       That has allowed Darren Lehmann to return to the number five
        batting spot.
       And of course 23-year old Michael Clarke retains his place to play
        his first Test on home soil, following a most impressive debut
        series in India.
       ...
       New Zealand also released their side yesterday evening.
       New Zealand captain Stephen Fleming, fellow batsman Nathan Astle
        and orthodox spinner Daniel Vettori all came into this Test under
        fitness and injury clouds.
       Thankfully for New Zealand, the experienced trio have all been
        declared fit to play.
       They have had one selection hiccup however with left-arm seamer
        James Franklin coming down with a groin strain.
       The beneficiary of this is right-arm pacer Kyle Mills who comes in
        for just his second Test.
       Mills is one of four in this New Zealand side playing his first
        Test on Australia soil.
       The other three are wicket-keeper Brendon McCullum as well as all-
        rounders Scott Styris and Jacob Oram.
       It's that Australian experience which has earned talented batsman
        Craig McMillan a recall.
       McMillan was only a late inclusion in this squad, but he's come
        into the side at the expense of Hamish Marshall
       Marshall has been given the 12th man duties.
       ...

        Zealand will bat first

       And that folks, is stumps
       Australia will go into day four with a hefty lead, thanks to the
        middle order of Martyn, Clarke and Gilchrist
       But also thanks to this most frustrating of tenth wicket
        partnerships
       McGrath has defied his reputation as something of a batting bunny,
        whilst Gillespie has shown the sort of solidness that would make
        an opening batsman proud
