ING Cup: WA v NSW @ the WACA

[Russian]

CJL Rogers, +RJ Campbell, *JL Langer, MW Goodwin, MJ North, MEK Hussey, KM Harvey, B Casson, MW Clark, DJ Wates, JJ Taylor, 12th man: SW Meuleman

*SR Waugh, +BJ Haddin, DJ Thornely, PA Jaques, ME Waugh, GM Lambert, SR Clark, NW Bracken, MJ Nicholson, SCG MacGill, AW O'Brien, 12th man: GJ Mail

Steve Waugh sent the Warriors in and they're 1/14 after 5 - Rogers out for 1 (17), Campbell not out 7 (5), Taylor in at 3

 

[Russian]

Campbell feathers a pull shot to Haddin for 18 from 15, Langer comes in at 4, WA 2/28 after 7

 

[Russian]

Cricinfo wrong again, Hussey came in at 4 not Langer

he's on 5 from 15, Taylor 23 from 14, 2/53 in the 11th

 

[Russian]

MacGill bowls the 11th over

First ball: driven through cover by Taylor
2nd ball: Taylor gets a nick to the keeper and is caught behind
3rd ball: New batsman (finally) Langer drives a full toss straight down the ground for 4 more
4th ball: Sweep by Langer for a single
5th ball: Hussey plays to mid on, no run
6th ball: Hussey sweeps for a single

1/10 off his first over

3/74 after 12.3 overs with Hussey 10 and Langer 5

 

[Russian]

MacGill replaced by Lambert who concedes 5 off his first over

Bracken completes his spell with 7-1-31-1 including 15 off his 6th over. Nicholson replaces him.

 

[Russian]

12 off Nicholson's first over then 4 off the first ball of Lambert's 2nd. WA scoring quickly but losing too many wickets - now Langer knocked over so it's 4/95 in the 16th - with North, Goodwin, Harvey, Casson, Clark and Wates to come

 

[Fall Out Boy]

John Taylor batting at 3? What's up with that?

The John Taylor that we sacked could barely hold a bat

 

[Fall Out Boy]

5/130

Australia's next all-rounder, Lambert, has 2/25

22.5 Nicholson to Hussey, FOUR, cover driven - great short - so sweetly
timed - almost brings tears to the eyes to see a shot like that
...... SHOT !!!!!!

The WA cricinfo commentator is by far the most entertaining. He actually colourfully describes what's going on, not just a boring bare bones description of what's happened.

John Taylor was tried at # 3 in the last match... but it didn't work (a duck I think). 34 off 20 with 7 boundarys worked today!

 

[Russian]

30.3 MacGill to North, OUT: full toss - shocking ball - even more shocking shot - lofted the drive back to the bowler

His figures: 1.3 overs 2/12

WA 6/164, Hussey 52 not out

Is that referring to someone else who played shots like that?

 

[ThePope]

Only North's second out for the season in ING cricket... other one was to a spinner too, stumped off Davison. Now has an series average of 140.5 from 6 innings!

Pinch hitter

 

[Russian]

36.6 MacGill to Harvey, OUT: full toss lands on the batsmans foot as he is sweeping at the leg side and is adjudged out LBW

His third wicket from a crap delivery gives him figures of 5 overs 3/33

WA 7/199 with Hussey 64 and Wates the new batsman

[Russian]

Hussey gone to a top edged slog, caught at backward point by thornely off nicholson for 69

WA 8/210 with 10 overs to go. Casson and Wates at the crease with only Clark to come

David Boon and Dirk Wellham's love child? Doesn't look like a cricketer... but then neither do Dizzy or Harvey at the moment!

 

[wellsy]

Mark Waugh out first ball of NSW innings, edge to first slip.

0/1 after 1.4 overs chasing 238 to win.

 

[Fraka]

NSW 3/47 after 13

S Waugh (huge reception from the WACA)around 10

D thornliegh 10*

Crowd 15,722

 

[Fraka]

Update

NSW 3/70 after 21

S Waugh 18*

D Thornleigh 16*

D Wates 2/23 from 10

Waugh starting to fire up.....trying to keep wickets in hand for a dash at the end it seems.

 

[Fraka]

D Thornleigh OUT! C Hussey B Clarke 18

NSW 4/73

S Waugh 18*....as usual the key

 

[Cooldude]

BTW Mark Waugh's career might well be over after that golden duck

 

[dan warna]

not a chance, we've been waiting 20 years for him to 'mature' and he's an 'elegant' batsman who makes some the most 'dashing centuries' once every two years.

he needs a good century against the mozambique under 11 blind cripples and he's good for another year of ducks and crapola batting.

 

[dannyboy]

well NSW hav completely capitulated 8\139. JL's team looking good to remain top of the pyjama cup.
