VB - Australia v. Zimbabwe

Ponting won the toss and the Aussies will bat.

Hayden ( 4 from 18) is playing carefully and Gilly is .... well Gilly is being Gilly. He's 23 from 22.

The Aussies are in a spot of bother at 3/77. Gilchrist made 34.

8/225. Should be enough.

Expect Clarke, Symonds and Harvey to bowl well on this wicket.

Didn't seem to be a good batting wicket this time around, or maybe Australia didn't bat that well, either way, I think the Aussie bowlers will do the job.

And to think the selectors initially left Williams out of the squad in favour of Lee !!

He now has 4/7.

It looks like he has proven that he should of been selected in the first place. Lee will have to bowl really good to make it back in to the side.

We must remember the opposition is Zimbabwe. For once the selectors have done Williams a favour by letting him play against weaker opposition.

Don't be too quick to write off Brett Lee as last year he was a big wicket taker in one day matches.

Another gem of a knock by Bevan of 3 runs so his aggregate for the series is 4 runs........lol Luckily Bevan didnt play in the test series as well or he would be buggered.

Martyn played another cameo of 21 runs.

I thought Martyn was going to open up and get some runs, well more then 21 anyway. True about Williams, but if Lee needs to work out where the line is so he doesn't bowl so many no balls.I reckon Lee will bounce back, maybe Lillie will be good for Lee.

In: Katich
Out: Martyn

Any complaints with that ?
