0.2 to ME Waugh, huge appeal and Waugh is gone for a duck! Oh wow, that's a start and a half for West Indies! Ambrose hits the deck hard outside off, but the ball barely gets up, scudding into the knee-roll as Waugh is pinned on the back foot in front of off. Signs of uneven bounce already, despite Australia's faith in what looked a good wicket, and well, that's set the cat among the pigeons!. 0/1 4.5 to RT Ponting, hops across the crease and that's plumb! More nip back off the seam, and again the lesser bounce proves fatal as Ponting can't get his bat down in time. That's smashing middle and off, and this innings is in tatters!. 8/3 | ||||||||||
| Ian Bishop | 10 | 1 | 35 | 2 | 3.50 | 42 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 3 |
3.5 to MA Taylor, bowled him! Outside off, Taylor tries to force a cut off the back foot, but merely chops a cramped under-edge into his off stump! Both openers are gone, and now Australia are in real strife!. 7/2 9.1 to SR Waugh, bowled him! Bishop's World Cup is up and running, and no mistake! Another probing delivery just back of a length, and the steadfast Waugh is lured into an uncharacteristically loose back-foot waft. But the ball has kicked off the seam, kisses the inside edge, and back go his stumps! High fives all round for West Indies, who are utterly rampant right now! It's damage limitation from hereon in for Australia!. 15/4 | ||||||||||

44.3 to MG Bevan, crashed in the air, straight to extra cover! Bevan is livid with himself, the ball was there for his trademark inside-out flog over the off-side, but he didn't get under the shot as he usually does, and Richie Richardson's safe hands did the rest. It's been a fantastic innings, but how damaging will that be in the final push for 200-plus?. 171/6 | ||||||||||

41.2 to S Chanderpaul, Australia stay alive. Richardson has got stuck at one end, and Chanderpaul is taking risks here. After clearing mid-on in the last over, he fails to do so. Just gets too close to the pitch of the ball and doesn't get the elevation. Straight down mid-on's throat. 165/3 43.3 to RA Harper, McGrath has got two now. Taylor being proven right with his captaincy moves although the decision this time might not be the greatest. Harper shuffles right across to try to work this to leg, and is beaten. The line is good for lbw but he is on his toes when he is hit above the knee roll. Harper is a tall man. So that is a slightly harsh call to rule him out lbw. Richardson gets a change of gloves and a drink of water. The weight on his shoulders increases. 173/4 | ||||||||||
| Damien Fleming | 8.3 | 0 | 48 | 2 | 5.64 | 30 | 7 | 0 | 1 | 0 |
47.4 to KLT Arthurton, Australia are favourites now. Richardson has no specialist batting allies left. Arthurton backs away - this is the first time he is facing Fleming tonight - to try to swipe him over midwicket. All he manages, though, is an outside edge through to Healy. 187/7 49.3 to CA Walsh, it's all over. What a beauty from Fleming. He has hit the top of the stumps, which is what you need to do with tailenders. Richardson is left stranded at the non-striker's end. This is a wicked offcutter. Pitches outside off, turns back in, and beats an expansive drive from Walsh. Might have been better off with a lower back lift. That is an atrocious shot under the circumstances. It doesn't matter now. Australia have won a game that was lost long ago. They just refused to accept defeat. 202/10 | ||||||||||
| Shane Warne | 9 | 0 | 36 | 4 | 4.00 | 33 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 |
6.1 to CO Browne, and a wicket first ball. What a move. Not how he intended it but a wicket nonetheless. Seems like he has tried a flipper first up, but ends up with a long hop outside off. This one doesn't have the fizz off the surface that Warne's flippers are known for, and Browne is early into his intended punch down to long-off. Ends up hitting it in the air, and Warne takes a smart catch to his left. 25/1 44.1 to OD Gibson, just as he had done with his first spell, Warne gives Taylor a wicket first ball. Once again it seems like it is the flipper. Yes it is the flipper, bouncing on Gibson who is looking for the cut. There is a big shout from Healy for an outside edge, and is upheld by umpire Venkat. Gibson, though, doesn't look too convinced. And once again, I am not sure he has edged it. 178/5 46.3 to JC Adams, oh a desperate desperate shot, and Warne is accurate enough to capitalise. He is shaping up to sweep, but realises this is full and fast, so he ends up playing across the line without getting down on a knee. On to him before he realises, and he is trapped right in front. Hit on the toe. Australia believe some more. 183/6 48.2 to IR Bishop, Warne stands with arms aloft in the middle of the pitch. He feels like the king of the world right now. After the big ripped legbreak comes the flipper, and Umpire Venkat wastes no time in shooting the index finger up. It hits his pad way before the bat comes down. They are not watching him out of his hand. Trapped in front. Now they have only Ambrose and Walsh to go. 194/8 | ||||||||||

22.6 to BC Lara, oh my word, what a comeback! Waugh's cleaned him up with an absolute zinger! Pitches outside off, grips the seam like a vice, snakes back towards the off bail, and Lara has been turned inside out, guts everywhere, as he plays completely down the wrong line!. 93/2 | ||||||||||
