thru the mid wicket, looks heading for a catch, but too high, Australia clean up in style
Bangladesh vs Australia, 22nd Match at Chester-le-Street, May 27 1999 - Ball by Ball Commentary
Australia won by 7 wickets (with 181 balls remaining)
and the crowd stream onto the field, just pre-empting any hint of a good mood from Steve Waugh
Steve Waugh is inaudible over the sounds of the crowd cheering, chanting andbooing. Make up your own cliches folks.
Man of the Big Tom Moody, with his favourite "Fly Emirates" hat on
so Australia trail the West Indies by 0.11 on the net run rate, which, assuming NZ lose to Pak tomorrow, means they have to beat WI by around 15 runs or 3 overs. If NZ win tomorrow, then it will be simply be down to the winner of WI v Aus going thru.
there are some other complications, such as the NZ RR, and what happens if Scotland beat NZ, but that is essentially the situation at the moment.
tomorrow is a 1-match day, NZ v Pakistan. Tune in to see how legs Shoaib Akhtar breaks. Play starts at 945 GMT. Until then, drive safely.
driving thru the mid wicket, that's 50 off an amazing 28 balls
spears it in at his legs, hard back to the bowler, DROPPED!
easily picked off the stumps, about a foot short of being a 6
stands, cover drives, "catch it" was quite the optimistic call
14 to win, this will possibly be the last over
what a slaughter, easily driven thru the covers
pulled in front of square, just fielded in frontof the square leg rope
dancing down the wicket, huge straight drive, over the stumps into the sightscreen
driving down to the wide long on
swung thru the mid wicket, YAB
sweeping hard, the mid wkt fielder dives and slows it down, they get a siungle whilst he regathers
thru the mid wicket, Moody just going the slog, the wide long on fields
down the leg side, the loft over the mdi wicket turns in the a bottom edge to fine leg
swipes over the mid wicket, looks good for a boundary, but Hasibul collects on the 1st bounce
flicking off the legs and behind square
nudged into the covers, one of the more comfortable 3s you'll ever see run, Bangladesh think outfielding isn't fashionable
worked well downthru the mid off
Enamul should get another couple of wickets, he's getting good drift and turn, the perfect weapon for attacking batting
gets it over the backward point, another mishit
pulling, bottom edge behind the body, lucky not to play on
