Wajahatullah Wasti	c SR Waugh b McGrath	9	47	31	1	0	29.03
11.1 nice line and length, around off stump, Wasti driving into the covers, opens the face of the bat too much, and the ball is heading straight for the gully's head, easy catch for Waugh 44/2
Saeed Anwar	c †Gilchrist b Reiffel	25	32	23	5	0	108.69
7.4 first wicket of the world cup today, extra bounce, Saeed trying the glance, comes off the top of the face of the bat, thru to the keeper 32/1
Abdul Razzaq	c Fleming b Warne	60	126	99	3	1	60.60

44.4 Lehmann to Inzamam-ul-Haq, sweep short straight to Warne at short fine leg, here comes the overdue mixup, both batsmen at the bowler's end, Yousuf is walking off, I reckon Inzamam is actually the batsman out there 216/5
