00:00this is the big final only two teams left now and the two teams that know each other very well
00:29trans-tasman rivals australia versus new zealand in the final of the icc champions trophy it's
00:35coming to you live from centurion well it's toss time here in the final and the men who matter
00:41out here in the center roshan mahanama the match referee from sri lanka you've got brendan mccullum
00:47captain new zealand today and ricky ponting ricky ponting will spin the coin heads is the call
00:53it's gone for a spin it's heads heads it is but brendan in the hot seat here today yeah yeah
01:02in the hot seat obviously it's disappointing to lose dan he's been instrumental in getting us in
01:05this position but i guess now it's an opportunity for other guys to stand up and achieve something
01:10which will be incredibly special to us and what are you going to do now winning the toss we're going
01:13to have a bad first it looks pretty good wicket so hopefully uh some runs on the board a bit of
01:17scoreboard pressure later on and hopefully we get the result we want well you might not have had a
01:21great time against australia but when it comes to a knockout like this a final you'll fancy your
01:25chances if you get enough runs on the board um yeah obviously australia is a tough proposition
01:29but um you know we're playing a one-off game against them we've got an immense belief within this unit
01:34after the way we played over the last few games so look anything can happen we believe we're capable of
01:39winning this game and and i guess that's all that matters that the belief is strong within the unit
01:43and what was the problem with uh danny vittori uh dan's handstrings no good he activated um before the
01:48for the last game he uh where he was very brave of him to get through and uh play the role that
01:53he did for us in the semi-finals so it's uh it is disappointing to lose him but jean patel comes
01:57in he's been an experienced player for us over the years as well otherwise pretty much the same
02:00side yeah exactly the same side have a good one brendan thanks mate cheers but ricky you've lost the
02:05toss you would have batted first uh as well yeah we're gonna have a bat yeah but as you saw the other
02:09night the wicket was particularly good batting second and with a bit of dew and everything comes in the ball
02:12tends to slide on the back quite nicely so we would have batted but now we've got a good opportunity
02:16for our bowlers to hopefully take some early wickets well you've got great records in in
02:19finals and the boys will be up for this yeah everyone's really excited we've been looking
02:23forward to this for the last couple of days you know we played a great game against thing in the
02:26semi-final and a relaxing day and a good training day yesterday so the boys are jumping out of their
02:30skin to get out there and perform today what will you be happy restricting new zealand to on the
02:34surface oh we won't put any limits on it we'll see we'll see how we go you know if we happen to take
02:37some early wickets and uh anything could happen but uh you know it is it is a good we get it's a very fast
02:41ground a small ground so um you know the 250 260 sort of totals we'll be pretty happy with same team
02:46as the semi-final yeah we've got exactly the same side yeah the guys perform well right through the
02:50tournament so far so there's no no great need for any change have a good one ricky thanks mate well
02:54that's the news from the center it's new zealand who won the toss and they've decided to bat first
03:02right just the customary huddle there as well they'll be uh just reminding themselves about what
03:11what they need to do australia would like to keep their record of finals intact for new zealand the
03:21captain out there to open the batting and they made a good start from him mccullum has a good day
03:28then new zealand can get a a decent score on the board and batting along with him here today
03:36is aaron redmond 30 years of age look pretty good in the last game against pakistan and brettly
03:46will start the proceedings uh for australia and here's lee and he starts off with a wide but there
03:55was a hint of swing once again looks a good pitch
04:00oh cracking delivery goes past the outside edge this is a good start by brett lee i think
04:10brendan mccullum was just looking to hit that through mid on some late swing there for brett
04:14lee a very good delivery callum ferguson at mid on is quite wide i think that mccullum saw that gap
04:22straight down the ground perhaps a little on side thought here's a boundary to get me going
04:30he goes for it gets the outside edge extra bounce here for peter settle
04:36the column attempting the cut it was a little too close to his uh body and australia strike early
04:46i think uh to add to his problems i think mccullum might might have been trying to loft that over the
04:51slips not was a genuine cut didn't get much of an edge and just enough for tim payne to take a
04:57comfortable catch new zealand five for one it's five for one martin guptel comes out to the middle
05:06young man who's had a good start to his career
05:12that's good shot first boundary this of the new zealand innings and that was well struck by martin
05:18guptill it's what a wonderful shot that from martin guptill till that shot you just sense as if the
05:25bowlers are doing what they wanted to that both bat and batsman are irrelevant they're just there to
05:30make up the numbers it's almost seemed like the batsmen were there because you need a batsman to
05:33make up the game but that is a quality shot we've seen this once or twice in the tournament harsh yet
05:39not so much the half volley from brett lee but a very good straight drive off drive from martin guptill
05:51now that'll make them feel good it's about time too
05:59yes aaron redmond this time just a little bit of whip from peter siddle and it's gone over
06:07a cover point
06:20a bit of an inside edge but it's fallen short so what's what's the new zealand plan redmond 11 from 31
06:30it's 12 overs now so they've gone getting to what a quarter of the overs tell you what he might have
06:37beached muscles but he's also got uh pretty active lip
06:43yeah absolutely it's a good delivery it's a little inside edge not quite short enough really for martin
06:47guptill to pull he was out pulling in the previous match against pakistan guptill got a top edge to
06:53just a widest mid on
06:59good shot as ever on this ground you hit the gap you got a boundary
07:05straight away seven of the over 32 for one from 12
07:10yes on the up two from aaron redmond this time talk about the plan what a new new what do the new
07:15zealanders want to do harsher but they want to make sure they don't lose wickets
07:22very good shot that the most emphatic attacking shots we've seen so far in the innings
07:34fourth four for new zealand
07:36martin guptill really fancies this he's in the slot straight drive down the ground
07:46just beats at mid off on the right hand side pretty straight
07:54another good looking shot and i think this will also go all the way the fielder took some pace off
08:00but another glorious drive off drive from guptill
08:06well he climbs into this half volley again but he plays the shot perfectly
08:11and again it's it's just that knack of knowing where the fielders are not
08:16got mid off in position and he beats him again just on the right side
08:20see that full face of the baton despairing dive calum ferguson it's a good shot again
08:33oh safe safe single in the end he's taking no chances there
08:38bonus runs beat the siddle through the cleaning up
08:48well they get a bonus run there new zealand it's a dive in from martin guptill
08:56guptill at first he's watching where the ball's gone and
08:59and he dives in and they get an extra
09:02another boundary towards that area side screen that's been one of their favorite shots
09:11the straight drive the off drive straight back the bowler
09:16slow delivery i think it's a leg cutter and see the release from shane watson
09:25picks it up very quickly full length it is a leg cutter gentle leg cutter
09:32six fours now in 63 for one
09:41god no yes he's just pushed it wide in the air nathan horitz and redmond was trying to take some
09:49real chances in the last two or three overs again trying to give room for himself to play on the off
09:54side and a wicket that australia desperately needed
09:58he could just sense it coming from new zealand just slightly giddy in the play moving away to the
10:07lakeside dancing down the pitch it's a bad time to lose a wicket aaron redmond was just settled on 26
10:13it's 66 for two
10:17ross taylor is the new batsman in for new zealand
10:19allowing australia to come back here in this uh match
10:27well bold very well bold looks to be in a good trot here uh ian nathan horitz yeah when he's
10:34bowling really well he gets the ball to curve away from the right handers
10:37certainly good scene position on that occasion
10:50gone that is a major blow struck by nathan horitz as guttle departs
10:59one of new zealand's big hopes is on the way back to the pavilion horitz strikes
11:03he's been tempting the new zealand batsman with his flight just getting a little bit of curve but
11:10maintaining a pretty good length the batsmen have been loath to leave their crease and that's the
11:15problem you have if you won't lose leave the crease driving can be difficult it's 77 for three
11:22new batsman for new zealand is the south african johannesburg born grant elliott
11:27who played a fine innings the other day just two days ago of 75 not out against pakistan at the
11:34wanderers together in harness with daniel the tory
11:42this is gone as well johnson gets his man and they're ripping through new zealand
11:49that's a fourth gone and it's a big one as taylor departs
11:54well he didn't learn his lesson ross taylor he'd already hit a couple he'd edged a couple and hit
12:02a couple that had gone in the air in that direction excellent catch there by michael hussey he's always
12:08on the move he's very athletic and the australians really driving home their advantage now with new
12:14zealand 81 for four neil broom playing in only his 14th one day international
12:23164 runs highest score is 29 with an average of 16 made his debut against the west indies at auckland
12:34brett lee back into the attack
12:35wrong end it went to the wrong end from michael hussey and it will be four overthrows that's a five
12:46they had an opportunity michael hussey but he threw to the wrong end he threw
12:51to the batting end it was the non strikers end where trouble would have been looming
12:58ussey has made a terrific save but it was not broom's end where there was trouble it was grant elliott's end
13:15that's unfortunate for brett lee but it counts as four for neil broom
13:20well brett lee should be glaring at his captain
13:22ricky ponning just took the first slip out and put him at short mid-wicket in the catching position
13:29once again he's really late he needs to get a move on because there's no worse fielding as a batsman
13:37when the ball hits the bat rather than you hitting the ball it's a really bad feeling you don't want
13:42to have it happen too many times in your career and he fools the batsman with the full length delivery big
13:48appeal and given he now has 50 wickets against new zealand and finally a wicket in this match for
13:57brett lee who's been fantastic with his fast bowling absolutely the double bluff grant elliott not happy
14:04at all about this we'll have a look and see what he is not happy about that's full it's hit his toe and then
14:14it's hit his bat he's got a little bit of bat on it afterwards but it's hit the toe and that would
14:19have gone straight into middle and leg stump that is a beautiful piece of bowling from brett lee he is
14:25a very happy camper grant elliott has to depart for nine from nine deliveries new zealand 94 for five
14:33new zealand playing the finals here with a thin batting lineup now starting to get exposed
14:39the amys franklin left-handed batsman will be taking strike brett lee has got his first wicket
14:48and it's a rising delivery and really no control on that shot
14:53and that's been the story for brett lee that's gone for four 98 for five
14:59it's been unlucky brother he really has
15:02and he said a couple of outside edges go for four he's had five overthrows
15:07driven down the ground nicely once by martin guptill
15:11it's a short franklin just fending it outside off stump
15:20good looking shot in fact it's a very good shot in fact a copybook cover drive there from neil broom
15:29that's a lovely shot neil broom's been
15:35short of runs in this tournament hasn't had too many opportunities five matches five innings 40 runs
15:42and a higher score of 17 but this is a real good quality shot punch that through the covers with ease
15:49it's a perfect cover drive nothing wrong with it picture that he would want to put in a coaching
15:54book manual of a cover drive
15:58he's played it down to third man and as you know it's a quick outfield here at the century it's a good
16:04start for uh franklin off the off spinner well this place is a little more to the liking of james franklin
16:14it's a pretty good shot he opened the face just pushed forward
16:27it's not a bad effort by broom it hasn't been too much in the way of going down the pitch but he puts
16:33shane watson away for four and it's a much needed boundary six from the over 39 gone 139 for five
16:40five only six from the over
16:50run rate is still 3.56 there's not a lot happening they've got to really make this count
17:00it's been unwell this has gone for four
17:05it's a decent shot by franklin
17:07that takes franklin on to 24 his third boundary
17:18this is a good start to the 40th orbit
17:24next delivery goes for four
17:25and he's gone for four off the last ball that's a cracking shot from
17:34james franklin it's 150 up for new zealand
17:38seddle is done he's done his 10 overs one for 30 and his last over went for 12 but what a great effort
17:45for his skipper here's watson
17:48oh that look at this now from neil broom new zealand are finding the boundary
17:54broom moves on to 33 but they need this
18:00in the batting power play
18:05length ball and pump straight back down the ground neil broom moves on to 33
18:09shot he's gone aerial and he's done it now neil broom has got some confidence
18:20and he's got a boundary
18:25struggle really struggle new zealand in this game but
18:29they're just having a good time in this batting power play boundaries are coming
18:34four deliveries in this watson over two boundaries first ball going for fort
18:40oh my goodness that was a moon ball oh a problem here big problem for new zealand
18:48and it shouldn't have happened neil broom has gone run out for 37
18:54and that really was a big mistake
18:56well it's a terrible mix-up things were going so well for new zealand with that partnership
19:06get themselves into a real tangle
19:11stop start
19:14australia as always keep the nerve it's a good throw back to watson a promising innings there
19:21neil broom has gone for 37 from 62. new zealand still rocking 159 for six
19:29kyle mills new man in for new zealand 159 for six and a good partnership for that six wicket of 65.
19:39yes that's that's good shot you may not have said that 10 years ago
19:44that's a very fine shot intentional and he's a tall man so this sat up nicely
19:49the line was such a where he could just run this over the slip cordon
19:55lee's idea would have been to tuck him up just a little bit of width there
20:01and it came at a nice height for kyle mills
20:05just helping it on its way
20:10knocked him over what a good yorker that was 146 kilometers an hour
20:14base of off stump you can't do better well he's not had a share of luck today currently he could
20:21have easily taken three or four wickets
20:25but on this occasion
20:26it's gone for him excellent yorker from around the wicket too quick and too good for franklin
20:35bat coming down late the uh off stump going for a toss
20:39and new zealand continue to lose wickets 166 for seven now with franklin dismissed
20:45ian butler is the new batsman in
20:5027 years old won the international average of 10.17
20:54now how's that for a good fourth right shot
21:03good lusty blow from uh from butler 173 for seven picked up the length quickly and
21:10smashed it on the onside because of power play the fielders were up in the circle
21:16much needed boundary for new zealand
21:25yes says aleemdar
21:29i think you'll find he's played around the shot
21:32the only question was he'll hit in line because it was low enough
21:36aleemdar thought so straight away so number nine goes down
21:40looked out didn't it hitting across the line
21:45all spinning back and he wasn't all that far forward so that's uh what made aleemdar's decision
21:51a little easier
21:54he's a tall man had he got that front foot further
21:58forward he might just have escaped instead
22:02the finger has gone up and another wicket goes down here for new zealand
22:05butler goes for six 174 for eight
22:10his first game in the tournament jeetan patel coming in for daniel vittori today
22:21right they're going to go for the second there's going to be ah there might have been trouble
22:24but he's taken a tumble and he might have hurt himself
22:28well he's not happy he is not happy at all here
22:32but first impression harsha gives you the feeling it could be serious
22:39what's happened here this is where he goes for a tumble
22:54now this this is going to be interesting here the fielders think they've got him
22:58and they might well be right that's out that is out
23:03he was always struggling and it was ponting who was throwing
23:07he doesn't miss too many and he has the ability to hit when it matters
23:13bye bye mills another one goes down here for new zealand
23:17no doubt at all there australians around here the few of them that are here are going to cheer
23:26and ponding does it again it's amazing how often ponding hits the stumps
23:30so that's the end of mills for 12 it's 187 for nine shane bond is the last man in
23:36just got a glove to it it's moving down the wrong side that was a problem he was going in the wrong
23:48direction and then had to change and dive to his right as a result couldn't cover the distance 192 for
23:56nine
24:13i got a lot on that what a way to finish 200 comes up well at least they'll go into lundseng we got 200
24:21brentley finishes two for 45
24:28chetan patel gives himself a bit of a smile but you've got to wonder ravi new zealand don't have enough
24:35you'd have to say that they're at least 50 short but at least they got 200 so psychologically uh
24:40will make a difference score of some respectability but uh the australians will be very happy with this
24:47effort they've been good in the field they've backed their bowlers and after losing the toss
24:53ponting will be quite happy to restrict new zealand to 200 for nine which means the target
24:59just over four runs for over for australia never really got going brenda mccullum 14 balls without
25:05scoring a run the only batsmen who did get in were guptill 40 broom 37 franklin 33 the innings never really
25:12took off it was just like a jogger there was no sprint at the end 200 for nine
25:20see three wickets there for natan horitz lee went for 45 but he could have got a lot more wickets with
25:26a little bit more luck but all round a good bowling performance peter siddle there very economical 10
25:31overs one for 30. so that's it then australia need 201 to win as the sun sets here at centurion
25:42it's australia against new zealand and it's coming to you from centurion
26:12it's a beautiful evening here but for new zealand well with their depleted side they've managed off
26:19the last ball of the 50th over to get to 200 200 for nine the skipper tonight is brenda mccullum
26:26because daniel vittori was ruled unfit before the start of play with a hamstring injury so new zealand
26:32with really a very changed side managing 200 bretley two for 45 plenty of pace hostility peter siddle
26:40was always under the weather in terms of his fitness but he got through 10 overs one for 30
26:46one for 35 from mitchell johnson shane watson none for 50 and 10 and nathan horitz three for 37
26:53in 10 overs of well controlled offspin so australia require 201 and it starts at 4.02 runs per over
27:03well shane watson is not very keen to start this at all there's brendan mccullum new zealand's captain
27:10new zealand's so depleted aside they've managed to scrape 11 players together to play
27:16as a black cap outfit they've got to 200. here's mills
27:26well i'm a little surprised
27:32that jeetan patel didn't make more of an effort to prevent that single being taken just keep an eye on
27:38the the wicket keeper here
27:42see the ball swing that's something that has happened
27:47watson's looking for the ball they do eventually get through
27:51the wicket keeper mccullum is the one who climbs into the ball should go should go what a catch
28:01taylor takes the catch and bond has struck what a start for new zealand
28:06paint's gone well there is a little bit of swing there will be pace if it's bond perfect start for
28:13new zealand it will be ricky ponting coming in but we'll think about that in a second a beautiful
28:19delivery it just angles away pitches swings what a good catch that is ross taylor safe pair of hands bond
28:27strikes
28:27long long way to go yet but that's a perfect start for new zealand tim payne has gone for a single
28:37australia two for one
28:40ricky ponting australia's captain in the middle his last match here he scored 100 against england
28:46what a great shot from ponting that was so full of authority
28:56push forward with such result off the mark the skipper
29:00he's had a great champion's trophy australia's captain he is led right from the very top
29:16shane bond's dropped in he's on the mark from the get-go here
29:19the seam presentation from shane bond has been first class
29:31holding the ball across the seam on this delivery but every ball in this over has been an absolute
29:37delight oh this is going to be very close finger goes up ponting's gone that is the big scalp for
29:45new zealand now then game on no century from ponting this time no ricky ponting to command proceedings
29:55he's on the way back pitch it up it's up there car mills again this time get it up there son ball
30:03pitches nips back oh yes knee rolls straight at ricky ponting beautiful delivery nips back at him
30:11it would take something special to get rid of this guy car mills has produced a beauty there
30:19200 on the board new zealand ricky ponting one on his way back game on australia six for two
30:27change of order for australia so the dressing room there are changes coming from the australian
30:32dressing room as cameron white comes into bat with a one-day average of 30.
30:36it's a bit on the short side from car mills that's not his best needs to pitch it up
30:46i don't understand that he's let that delivery go at his pace
30:51low early 30s
30:54he's seen the damage that has been done with the full length deliveries he's not quick enough he's got fine
30:59leg inside the circle he's a give me ball
31:05oh it's just gone past second slip that is a streaky four and bond knows it six overs 17 for two
31:16aaron redmond is at second slip it was always too wide
31:18cameron white's feet they haven't moved he hasn't moved that left foot streaky four
31:32oh he's found the gap now i wonder if that will break the shackles a bit
31:37it was short and wide haven't seen too many of those in this innings no more than a couple i'd say
31:44there was a shout from the bowler as he delivered the ball realizing it was a poor delivery in
31:52comparison with everything that had gone before it
31:57good batting from white to pounce on that after having been really bogged down
32:03welcome boundary here for shane watson he's taken his time
32:16they're stripping onto the pants it's very important for new zealand that all their bowl is bowled well
32:21they don't have a big target on the board so far three seamers have done well mutler just joining it
32:27and a good start two overs for six runs so franklin now
32:35good timing on that shot with just a whip of the hips and it's gone for four terrific shot
32:43this is beautifully executed time is is exquisite a lot of work with the bottom hand it's not an easy
32:50shot to play not only has he got the placement right here but he's got the bar behind the shot to take it
32:57to the boundary nice work with the wrist this is what australia need a couple of boundaries and then the
33:05momentum could shift it'll be then new zealand that'll start feeling the pressure
33:15he's gone straight up big column getting under that one he should take this
33:18unbelievable he came under the ball that's really what's important to make the initial movements
33:28get under the ball he had done the difficult bit just somehow losing it at the last minute
33:34well he's made a mess of it in the end he might have barely got a glove to it at the end of it all
33:40because he covered ground took his time eyes on the ball never easy when you're running backwards
33:45just getting his fingertips it's gone through and an escape here for the australians you almost
33:53felt that something's going to happen just the way cameron white was looking to hit the ball
33:58beautiful drive one of the best shots we've seen so far in the innings
34:15he does pack a punch shane watson and when he hits the ball it stays hit
34:19it's not powerful man good shot this just climbing into it good stride forward full face of the blade
34:31when the ball meets the bat that was one area i thought could have been exploited by the batsman
34:45not a good idea to bowl a quick delivery outside the offspring with that kind of a feel 50 comes up
34:50for australia nicely put away once again by watson just
34:58beginning to play a little more freely now just using the pace of the bowler came down late on it
35:04saw power from him in the last over and now here's touch
35:07just a fraction short and that has been muscled away
35:15carpool there to watson
35:19well that is as hard as the ball has been hit in this tournament i think
35:23he hasn't gone more than 20 feet off the ground
35:30has anybody that got in the way of this
35:32out on the crowd will be very very sore right now
35:48pulled away and a great shot that is six for watson his second he's dangerous
35:54it's a very good shot
36:02shane watson it's full he hasn't really got down and slog swept it as such he's stayed quite
36:08well it's more of a straight bat shot it's a really good shot he hasn't got to got the bat
36:14too vertical he's used most of the blade
36:20shane bond on the mark to the right handers he had tim payne and shane watson to open and he bowled with
36:29pace at the start of the innings
36:34aided and abetted by ross taylor standing at first slip
36:44shot what a super shot that was short from bond and just put away
36:56cameron white very powerful
37:03two very muscular batsmen in here for australia cameron white and shane watson quite similar in build
37:09white is a bit taller than watson but when it comes to the short arm jab stuff
37:13both of them have got a decent uppercut look at that the right arm comes through very quickly
37:18he's the new zealand coach looking pensive scott styrus in the background shane jurgensen
37:24just to the right of scott styrus former queensland bowler new zealand bowling coach
37:29that's tickled away that'll be four four ball from grant elliott just leg side and tickled away for four
37:34there'll be a single out to deep cover point in the one day game 50 up for shane watson 50 from 74
37:47deliveries five fours and two big sixes that's good innings this by shane watson fought through the tough
37:55times shane watson and has reaped the rewards now and going on with it that's the key he gets a start
38:05and he's continued so far he needs a lot more for australia's cause so far a very very good innings
38:13shane bond has been brought back by brendan mccullum this is really a throw the dice where brendan mccullum
38:20is hoping to pick up some reward bond now eighth over and he's running in shane bond he really is
38:30seven overs one for 16. love his attitude to fast bowling yeah it's very good it's fantastic
38:38he's just been a different player shane bond just take a look at the action the key to this action
38:42here is the hands never really get past the center of the body watch all sprinters when sprinters run
38:53the good ones the hands never cross the center of the body but down the lines and shane bond has got a
39:00lovely running style shot straight past the bowler and mid off full blade of the bat
39:17well this is full and that is a lovely shot got to the pitch of the ball
39:22just a check drive really punch down the ground and quality from cameron white oh look at that there's
39:35a lot of pace he's certainly caught cameron white and white gets four for it
39:43no trouble here for shane bonner fully understand what he's trying to do it was a good delivery
39:48really good delivery it's quick it was short it was well directed straight at the badge straight
39:53at the australian badge on white helmet and he just got enough bat on it to get it over top of the head
40:04that'll go away
40:08way to the left of jeetan patel there
40:12eight from the over 105 for two
40:13he's always looking for the short delivery that's one ball that is always weighted in the settings
40:22anything short of length that's one freedom he's allowed himself
40:30again as always looking to get onto the front and just rocks back a bit
40:33that's a tremendous shot
40:41the shot straight down the ground always very pretty cameron white comes to gets to his 50
40:5087 balls just the way he played the ball before the last one got the feeling he was lining up the bowler
40:59he had made up his mind the length was going to be full this pitch can now be trusted
41:03ball is not going to be moving too much just went through the line
41:08this bat does come down very straight when he's defending or looking to play the attacking shot as well
41:13oh good shot
41:22you've used the word pressure sanjay it's leaking at the moment
41:27second time i've seen this kind of ball being dispatched for four
41:30same shot and i think cameron white
41:33watson was
41:35that's when when he square cut him or late cut him for four that's not a good delivery
41:40he's bowling quick it's got to be on middle thumb otherwise this is
41:43easy pickings for the batsman also the ball is not gripping anymore
41:49was flawless in the way he's running the action is looking good there's pace
41:54it's controlled
42:00great shot
42:02bit off there was bit off but he played it so straight
42:05i guess you have to call it an off drive but it's so beautifully straight
42:14it's a great time to be batting the ball is coming nicely onto the bat
42:18can hit through the line not to worry about any movement of the pitch
42:22the pace also will be predictable i've seen quite a few of those kind of drives
42:27out of the blue
42:36has he just left it or was there a little feather on the ball that dragged it back on
42:42and is it too late but well played cameron white
42:4562
42:48kyle mils just gives new zealand a glimmer is it too late
42:50and just thought of leaving it at the very last minute
42:57and credit to the bowler to bowl that kind of line and create the doubt in the batsman's mind a
43:02bit unfortunate the ball went on to hit the stumps
43:07good innings 62 of 102 balls australia 134 for three
43:12michael hussey is the new man in
43:14they've been ready to come out to bat with his pads on the score six for two since then 128 have
43:19been put on but new zealand have a wicket it's a good time to get in simon duel alongside him in
43:26that is cracking from mike hussey short he seized upon it very quickly pulled it away his first boundary
43:33and that ends the shane bond over it's 141 for three
43:36both these batsmen like the full shot
43:41the wind's gone in the air head height but unfortunately for new zealand just wide of the field soon
43:56pulled away again will that beat the man at backward square yes it will
44:00gareth hopkins on the field so the wicket keeper from auckland just couldn't quite pull that in
44:13watson has really pulled brilliantly in these last two innings anything a bit short he's very quickly
44:19on to it and he's got control over the shot where he either hits it in the air if he wants to
44:26or along the ground
44:31down the ground butler misses just got a little touch on it pick up two
44:39a lot of dew on the field you see the spray flying up when james franklin fielded that ball
44:45yeah the uh the sawdust has been out there for both for both ends for both bowlers
44:57and uh it's obvious that it's a bit a bit slippery out there
45:02that's ariel it's out he's picked up another one he's gone ahead of sir richard hadley kyle mills
45:07in his last over of his spell and mike hussey has just managed to hit that straight in the air
45:15and straight to the fieldsman at point so jeetan patel picks up the catch kyle mills picks up the
45:20wicket well he's covered himself in glory today kyle mills he really has put in for new zealand
45:26he's been a terrific performer for them he's just given him that little sniff
45:31at the end of his spell here it's 156 for four australia 156 for four james hopes
45:40the batsman
45:43cut away and it'll beat hopkins
45:47patel back on the field sorry and that is too wide too short to a man in four
45:54played the horizontal bats really horizontal bat shots really well in these two innings full shot
46:04has been exceptional
46:10again it's just too short it's too wide and ian butler just appears to be struggling a little bit
46:17good shot from james hopes picks up his first bout
46:24well new zealand have been let down by their subsidiary bowlers they've got a terrific opening
46:29spell out of mills and bond both those two guys have come back and performed reasonably well
46:35mills has performed exceptionally well
46:41that's well struck that races to the boundary in a flash
46:45well james hopes climbs into this it's just short of a length he swivels
46:56young butler with a massive reaction to this shot from james hopes butler screams
47:03yes he just climbed into identity weight was on the front foot picked up the length quickly
47:18that was powerfully struck does hit the ball hard james hopes the second time he's found the boundary
47:26well it's a very good shot is this franklin around the wiki the ball of full length massive stride from james hopes
47:41good view great picture there
47:43he pulls and finds the gap on the onside so that takes him into the 90s
47:57so quick to bounce on to that short delivery
48:00he needs 10 more
48:01what's the needs 10 he's on 90 australia need 15 comfortable for the team
48:16that's powerfully struck he'll get four
48:20just nine needed now for australia and uh watson might be left in the 90s
48:25he's gonna miss out here is shane watson he's on 92 james hopes has platted that through mid wicket
48:31before now australia just need nine
48:3722 fours and three sixes in this 192
48:43i think the message is out with australia needing just seven that they will take at the batting power
48:47play now which will really give watson a great chance seven needed if the field is up
48:53right there's a good chance he could get it in this over
49:05goes for the big one it's six
49:0899 watson with that hit and now a great chance to get back to back hundreds in this champion's trophy
49:15100 in the semi-final now one shot
49:17well the two batsmen have eventually worked it out you could see it coming off spinner on he would
49:25chance his arm this is a sweet shot
49:31so one to win scores a level and it's one required by watson he's on 99
49:40he goes again consecutive sixes
49:42so back to back hundreds here for shane watson australia win and it's the champion's trophy
49:49holders who've done it again very powerful team wonderful innings once again from shane watson he
49:57got there in the end he finishes 105 not out back to back centuries is every chance of being man of the
50:04match again it's australia such a powerful team you think of all the players that they've lost
50:10gilchrist hayden warren mcgrath so many players have left the team but they're still there
50:18champions trophy winners once again australia
50:23really it was uh the team that dominated on the day that has won this champion's trophy they were up for
50:30the final they rolled extremely well to restrict new zealand and then a solid batting performance
50:36by watson has taken them all right there australia winning by six wickets they're champions of the
50:43world world cup champions champions trophy winners in 2006 now again champion trophy winners in 2009
50:52and it's shown to anybody who cares to watch this game that for all their ups and downs
50:57they still remain the best equipped and presented cricket team in the world so
