Full commentary
Cermonies coming up soon
A superb performance by Australia, they have motored over Pakistan yet again, a win by 9 wickets
Pakistan batting was not up to the mark today to say the least
Ceremonies will be on the ground it seems as there was no crowd problem today
We are still waiting for the presentations
Lots of items to get through in the presentations
Momentos given to umps, officials and other staff
Momentos to Pak team and aus team in the form of medallions
Each player called up and receives a medal
an empty beer can thrown on and hits a player from the Pavilion balcony
Aussies go off
Waugh takes them off from in front of the pavilion
Bevan was hit on the cheeck, a shameful end unfortunately
They crowd is pretty far away, the can must have been thrown a long way
Now the crowd being pushed away, after spoiling the ceremony
Seems there is no way to find where it came from, could have hit anyone of the players
Ceremonies now moved indoors
In stark contrast, to the ugly incident, there are some people picnicing on the edge of the field
