00:18We'll see you next time.
00:41We'll see you next time.
01:14We'll see you next time.
01:46We'll see you next time.
01:52We'll see you next time.
02:32We'll see you next time.
03:09We'll see you next time.
03:27We'll see you next time.
03:36He, of course, used to bowl those outswingers that used to curve a long way and quite late.
03:42The sight of yet another Englishman swinging it away and outgiving him a lot of good.
03:49And he's got it.
03:50That's the one.
03:51That falls one-two and Kepler Vessels' stumps are lying scattered on the ground.
03:58A big breakthrough that for England and a breakthrough affected by the outswinger bowled by Norman Cowens.
04:06This is the delivery I was talking about.
04:08It's pitched it leg and middle and it's gone through and the leg stump's gone out.
04:13And that's well-bowled Norman Cowens.
04:14He'll be over the moon with that delivery.
04:17So that's Australia's first wicket down.
04:19One for 26.
04:22Botham to Greg Chappell.
04:27It's in the air.
04:28It's going up in the air.
04:28This has got to be out.
04:30He's gone.
04:31The bouncer's got Chappell again.
04:33At one side, high up in the air.
04:35And Marks makes his first contribution in major matches in Australia.
04:41It's the wicket that the England boys wanted.
04:45Ian Botham, I think, a bit of kidology and then he banged this one in.
04:49And he was on Chappell.
04:51A little bit too quick.
04:52It probably bounced a little more than he thought.
04:54And very high on the buttock on his sky.
04:57De Witt Marks at that short mid-on position.
04:59And that's Australia's second wicket down for 33.
05:08The man in your picture there is Trevor Jesty.
05:10He bowls medium paces.
05:13Very medium paces.
05:15Seems to have a problem with his arm there.
05:19But he bowls little outswingers.
05:22And he's on his way now.
05:25Replacing Cowens.
05:26And bowling to Dyson.
05:28That's very wide and signalled wide.
05:30So not a great start for Trevor Jesty.
05:33And I wonder, Fred, whether that would be the first time he's had a white ball in his hand.
05:38Jesty to Hughes.
05:40That's out.
05:40He's caught behind.
05:42So Jesty has had a magic stop.
05:44Can have a look at his face.
05:47Well, a couple of wides down the offside.
05:49A white ball down the leg side.
05:51And now an outside edge.
05:52And Australia's captain on his way back to the pavilion.
05:56That's the danger when the ball's swinging away and you go for the shot.
05:59Finished up swinging a little bit more.
06:02Reaching for it and finding the edge.
06:03And what a start there for Trevor Jesty.
06:06He's absolutely delighted over the moon.
06:09Two wides, one down the leg side.
06:11And then the wicket, the prize wicket of Kim Hughes.
06:14Australia now, 36 for the loss of three wickets.
06:18Ian Botham comes in now.
06:19David Hooks is taking strike.
06:27Just short of the rope.
06:30And it didn't seem to be all that much offline.
06:33It pitched round about, leg stump.
06:36Hooks got it away very strongly.
06:38Three for 43.
06:4331 to Dyson.
06:45Here's Vic Marks.
06:47And he's done him with that Yorker.
06:49That's very well bowled by Vic Marks.
06:53He had David Hooks in trouble.
06:55Right after the first over when he bowled a couple full tosses.
06:59But he's dropped right under line in length now.
07:01And Hooks giving himself a bit of room there.
07:06Frustrated.
07:07Trying to get it away on the onside.
07:08And it's now four for 77.
07:14Trevor Jestie comes in now from the Randwick end.
07:17Bowling to Dyson.
07:20Prime shot there from John Dyson.
07:22Half volley as Jestie keeps the ball up there.
07:25Trying to swing it.
07:27That was magnificently hit that off drive.
07:35And Borda decides to go over the top.
07:38A very good shot it is too.
07:40Wide of Jeff Muller.
07:41And bouncing just inside the boundary rail.
07:46Timing the ball very nicely with that heavy bat of course.
08:00There's a lot of spin in limited over cricket these days.
08:03But Bob Willis.
08:06And the responsibility of his tack.
08:08Miller.
08:11That's got him out.
08:12That wasn't a good shot by Alan Borda.
08:13Just as Keith Stackpole was suggesting.
08:15The spin may not be the answer.
08:17That was a foolish shot.
08:18One of the very few from Alan Borda.
08:20He charged.
08:21It was short of the length.
08:22He tried to hoick it over mid-wicket.
08:24Borda's clean as a whistle.
08:26Bob Willis just showing that the tactics are the right ones that he's using.
08:30Having both off spinners on.
08:31And a good delivery from Jeff Muller.
08:34Beat Alan Borda.
08:35With a bit of flight.
08:35Borda lifted his head.
08:36Took his eye off it momentarily.
08:38And suffered the fate of being Borda.
08:40So Borda out for 22.
08:42And Australia now 5 for 118.
08:47Marks to Marsh.
08:50Sweeps again.
08:51And all of a sudden he goes back onto his stumps.
08:53And he's ribbing dangerously.
08:55Missed stumping on the leg side in the last over.
08:58Once again going the sweep.
09:00Just missed the stumps.
09:03Isn't he struggling with the bat these days?
09:05Fortunately then.
09:06That one hitting him on the gloves too.
09:08After it rebounded up off the pad.
09:14He's out.
09:15He's gone.
09:15Caught it backwards.
09:16Square trying to walk over the infield.
09:18Straight to Randall at backwards.
09:20Good square leg.
09:21And Marks has struck a game for England.
09:23A strange shot from John Dyson.
09:24He was playing so well.
09:26Tried to clear the infield.
09:28And Rambler took a straightforward catch.
09:31One respected good innings from John Dyson.
09:34But what a way to get out.
09:35A terrible shot from him.
09:37Should have realised the circumstances behind this game now.
09:39And unfortunately for Australia.
09:42John Dyson out one run short of the 50.
09:44And Australia now 5 for 106 for 124.
09:51Jeff Miller bowls to Rodney Marsh.
09:55It's in the air.
09:55That's not a good shot.
09:57Bobby Taylor's coming from behind the stumps.
09:59And he doesn't make any mistake.
10:01And I can't work that out.
10:02A man who's played 90 test matches.
10:04This is the 38th over.
10:06And that needs some explaining.
10:08Not really keeping their head down.
10:10And the big crowd roar.
10:13Bobby Taylor runs 20 metres to take that catch.
10:16Terrible cricket from Rodney Marsh.
10:17Looking for the big hit.
10:19Surely he knows the set up of this game at the moment.
10:22Occupation of the crease is the name of the game.
10:24And Bobby Taylor doing the right thing.
10:26Coming around.
10:26He's the man with the gloves on.
10:28And quite a simple catch for him.
10:29But another wicket to the off spinners.
10:31And exit Rodney Marsh.
10:33And now Australia 7 for 132.
10:38Botham to Lawson.
10:40Stick I think.
10:41Botham back in the attack.
10:42It's not.
10:44Lawson driving down the ground.
10:46It's a little uppish.
10:47Botham threw his hand out.
10:49But that one raced away down the ground for four.
10:53Jeff Miller to Thompson.
10:57He's bowled him.
10:59Thompson hitting across the line.
11:01And he's comprehensively bowled by Jeff Miller.
11:05And that is a big blow to Australia.
11:09So five wickets now between the off spinners.
11:12This is how it happened.
11:13Thompson right across the line to what looked like an arm ball to me.
11:18And so Thompson on his way back to the pavilion.
11:22And Australia 8 for 158.
11:26Botham to Lawson.
11:28You don't have to go down the leg side to contain.
11:30That's far better.
11:32And that's going over the top.
11:34But you've got a chance of getting him out if you bowl somewhere around the length.
11:38On the off and middle.
11:41Not a very good over from Ian Botham.
11:45Ten runs came off that over.
11:50A well play.
11:52Nice and delicately tucked around the leg side.
11:54Hogg coming on.
11:55He's misfielded it.
11:57Have a way.
11:58Has misfielded a very straightforward rolling ball.
12:02And it's gone over the boundary.
12:04This is when the pressure gets to Fieldsman.
12:07What happened there was.
12:09That.
12:09He took his eye off the ball.
12:12Come to the end of the overs.
12:14You can see Tavare here.
12:17Misfielded him.
12:17He can't believe it.
12:19What would have been possibly one run.
12:22Gave three away.
12:26It's Tavare.
12:28The man who has to face the wrath of that crowd behind him.
12:34In the air.
12:35And he got it.
12:36Not caught.
12:38Well that was very very well caught.
12:40Norman Cowens in his follow through there.
12:42Certainly had a stop in his tracks.
12:44And get back very quickly.
12:46Sure he juggled it once or twice.
12:48But he did very well.
12:53Very pleased about this.
12:54He did well here did Norman Cowens to reach.
12:58Nice juggling act.
12:59But in the finish he pouched it.
13:01And that's his third wicket.
13:06Correction that's his second wicket.
13:07And so it's now nine for 175.
13:12Australia nine for 107.
13:15Lawson on strike has 28.
13:17And the field pretty scattered.
13:22He's hit that and hit that beautifully.
13:24Racing away down to the deep extra cover boundary.
13:27Tavare won't cut it off.
13:28What a beautiful shot by Jeff Lawson.
13:31Well he wouldn't have played a better cover driver in that one.
13:37He hasn't bowled for about two hours.
13:40Understandable if he bowled a half volley.
13:46And he'll be a little bit upset that Australia have got to 179.
13:51And at one time 160 looked at that as far as they were going to get.
13:58Oh there's a mix-up.
13:59There's a big mix-up.
14:00And there's a fielding mix-up too.
14:03Well there was a double mix-up out there.
14:05The batsmen, the fieldsmen.
14:07And at the end of the day they managed to cross for a single.
14:09But have a look at this.
14:10First of all the batsmen get themselves in a terrible tangle.
14:12Yes, no, wait, yes, come.
14:15The fieldsmen come together and another tangle.
14:21Well it's all happening out there and it's a vast crowd loving every second.
14:2833 very valuable runs coming from the butt of Jeff Lawson.
14:32But it's Rackerman facing.
14:33He's bowled it.
14:35Hot line and sinker.
14:37Rackerman clean bowled by Bob Willis.
14:39And that's the end of the Australian innings.
14:42Well all Bob Willis did there was run up and bowled dead straight.
14:47And it seemed to me that Rackerman played all round that one, Fred.
14:52Nice full pitch.
14:53And Rackerman batten padden.
14:55Nowhere near together.
14:57Hitting the middle stump and making a right mess of them.
14:59And Bob Willis finishing off Australia's innings.
15:02All out for 180.
15:05And Rackerman out for nought.
15:12Well that's a very small target to defend for Australia.
15:16181 for England to win.
15:18And they only need to score at 3.62 per over.
15:21It was a good performance by the England bowlers there to dismiss them for that figure.
15:25And only Jeff Lawson's batting towards the end enabled Australia to get up to set 181 as the target for
15:30victory for England.
15:31We pick up play now in the second over of the England innings.
15:3511 runs are on the board.
15:36Gower has made an iron.
15:38Thompson is coming in to bowl to him.
15:39In the commentary box it's Ian Chappell and Keith Stackpole.
15:44Jeff Thompson to David Gower.
15:48A bit of swing for Jeff Thompson and David Gower has hit it straight to David Hooks and a wry
15:55smile there from Jeff Thompson.
15:56It might have just been a slower delivery over that or a real loosener up on Jeff Thompson.
16:03Whatever it was, Australia have got the breakthrough they needed.
16:07They certainly have and that's the wicket they wanted.
16:10David Gower is looking in a very threatening mood.
16:13Taking nine runs from the burst over of Jeff Lawson.
16:15With Thompson coming into the attack from the other end, he's quickly dismissed David Gower.
16:21One on the pads, trying to work off the pads by David Gower and just reaching David Hooks.
16:26Going down on the knees but safely into both hands.
16:29Just forward square leg.
16:31And just reaching there and that's the breakthrough that Australia wanted at England at 1-3-11.
16:40Thompson from the Randwick end to Lamb.
16:44And that's got to be a wide.
16:46And it'll be four of them.
16:54The viewer in the crowd, Elton John.
17:00More outswing and it's just got Carl Racken on the wicket as Tabaret lofts away into the cutters.
17:06It's quite a simple catch there for Alan Border.
17:09So eventually that outswing has paid off for Carl Racken.
17:13Australia get their second wicket with a score of 44.
17:17That poor batting in the Australia card we showed you before.
17:20Certainly going on to face the Englishman.
17:23Bad shot from Chris Tabaret.
17:25Looking for the big cover drive.
17:26No movement of the feet and just spooned.
17:29Simple catch out to Alan Border who picked it up quite nicely.
17:32And that's another breakthrough for Australia.
17:34Another wicket to Carl Racken.
17:35Four in Melbourne.
17:36Another one here.
17:37And England two for 44.
17:43Bowling.
17:44Second clap.
17:45Walking into it Randall and Racken strikes again.
17:49A vital wicket for Australia.
17:50The shuffling Randall was bowled.
17:52Queen as a whistle by Racken and that's now three for 53.
17:58That's a very good delivery.
18:00One angling in and then swinging away off from middle to off stump.
18:05And Racken and very happy with that.
18:06And great delivery.
18:09And Randall out for two.
18:15For five sorry.
18:17And England now three for 53.
18:20There the English bowling figures using six bowlers by Willis.
18:26And you can see from the top there that Willis and Cowans didn't complete their allocated ten overs.
18:32Largely because Marks and Miller bowled so well.
18:36The other bowlers.
18:37The other bowlers, Jesty and Botham.
18:39And the most successful was Miller with three for 28.
18:41Vic Marks got two for 27 and Cowans two for 20.
18:46A fielded and there's a mix-up.
18:49Botham was running there and that must have been pretty close.
18:52Botham took off and I think Lamb probably called for the single.
18:57And then when he saw the good bit of fielding there, had second thoughts.
19:01Good piece of fielding this.
19:05Diving across.
19:08Alan Lum in full.
19:11In full flow.
19:12In fact, if Geoff Lawson had caught that ball and taken the bails off, I think Alan Lum would have
19:16been out.
19:17He was as close as that.
19:19Well, have a look at that.
19:21The red sky at night.
19:23The shepherd's delight.
19:26That's the view in the background at the Sydney Creek ground.
19:30The lights, of course, are on.
19:32Ian Botham and Alan Lum can put together.
19:35Tony Gregg quite rightly pointing out the depth of England's batting with Bob Taylor at number nine.
19:40But Bob Taylor would be hoping that he was not needed this evening.
19:45Well, he's bowled it.
19:46That's a big breakthrough for Australia.
19:48Ian Botham.
19:48Clean bowled by Carl Rackerman.
19:51Well, he certainly did him then.
19:54Botham on the back foot trying to force the ball through the offside.
19:57Got one that seemed to nip back just a little bit and rushed on to him.
20:02He was beaten for pace two.
20:05Ball coming back off the seam.
20:07In fact, Ian Botham playing across the line of the ball.
20:10And eventually he'd knocked back the leg stump.
20:13And that is a great breakthrough for Australia.
20:17Because Ian Botham was starting to look a little bit dangerous.
20:21It's now four for 95.
20:25Chappell comes in now and Lamb is taking strike.
20:29And there's a beautiful stroke by Alan Lamb.
20:33Magnificent piece of timing that.
20:37Chappell had no chance even to bend down to make the effort to save.
20:41And England go past the hundred mark.
20:44Thompson to Chester.
20:47In the air.
20:51Well, out there, Thompson won't believe it.
20:54No one will believe it.
20:57John Dyson, who is such a safe fielder,
21:02just lost it.
21:04What happened, said John Dyson.
21:06That was the simplest of dolly catches.
21:08Now watch this.
21:09It seems that that must have gone into the lights.
21:12And Dyson lost it completely and didn't judge it at all.
21:16He knew it was coming his way.
21:18But there's no way, according to what he's saying there,
21:21that he saw that ball.
21:22Absolutely aghast.
21:23And what a miss that was.
21:24He seemed to judge it all right.
21:26He got into position.
21:26But it just happened to be the wrong position.
21:33Go on a good delivery from Jeff Thompson.
21:36Alan Lamb giving himself a bit of room.
21:39Attempting to cut.
21:40And so 49 is still the top score in this game so far.
21:46Thompson well wide.
21:48Right in at Lamb.
21:49And Lamb trying to cut a ball on the middle and off.
21:52And paid the penalty.
21:53Well bowled, Jeff Thompson.
21:55England now 5'131".
21:59Jeff Miller, the new man to face Jeff Thompson.
22:02Thompson with 2 for 20 against his name.
22:09Good delivery from Thompson.
22:11The new batsman.
22:13Right at the stumps.
22:20Inside edge from Miller.
22:22There's a mix up.
22:22And there's going to be a run out at the bowler's end.
22:25With a good piece of fielding there.
22:29And Trevor Jesty took off for the run.
22:32Jeff Miller didn't respond.
22:34And that's just the breakthrough that Australia needed to follow on the earlier wicket of Jeff Thompson.
22:42What a great game this is, eh?
22:43All of a sudden.
22:44Two quick wickets.
22:46And the whole thing changes.
22:48Mix up there.
22:49David Hooks right onto it.
22:50Straight over the top.
22:52And England now in a little bit of trouble.
22:546'131".
22:58Vic Marks facing Rodney Hogg.
23:04That's a good delivery.
23:05And it's gone to second slip.
23:07And it's gone down.
23:09That was the man that Rodney Hogg asked for.
23:13Second slip.
23:14Kepler vessels.
23:15And straight to him.
23:19Well, what a great piece of bowling.
23:21Rod Hogg's nominated it.
23:23Someone in there.
23:24Straight to him.
23:25And straight to the ground.
23:27How unfortunate for Australia.
23:28I think that would have wrapped it up for England.
23:37Rodney Hogg doing his job.
23:39He's bowling very, very accurately.
23:43Putting the pressure on the English batsmen.
23:47He's done an excellent job here today.
23:50Got really straight.
23:51Made them play at almost everything.
23:54And you can't ask for anything more than a one-day game from a fast bowler.
24:03Well bowled, Rodney Hogg.
24:05That's got to be close.
24:07Mel Johnson has adjusted him LBW.
24:09That was always going to be very close.
24:12And there's a reward for bowling straight for Rodney Hogg.
24:26Great piece of bowling.
24:28And that was salmon trout, as the Australian manager would say.
24:32Definitely out.
24:33That's umpire Mel Johnson confirming that.
24:36And England now, and I've spot a bother.
24:38Seven for 135.
24:42What a great spell of bowling that was from Rodney Hogg.
24:44Ten overs, one maiden, one for 15.
24:47And not one boundary shot from the England batsman off the bowling of Rodney Hogg.
24:51A great piece of bowling.
24:54Chapa asked a question of umpire French.
24:57Marks friction forward.
25:02You look at the pressure on the batsmen and the bowlers, Bill, but equally as much pressure
25:07on the umpires in a situation like this.
25:09Chapa bowls now to Bob Taylor.
25:12It's close.
25:12It's got to be close.
25:13Yes, he's out.
25:14Taylor trying to hit across the line.
25:16And that's been Greg Chappell on the stumps.
25:18There wasn't much doubt about that one.
25:20And tremendous relief from the Australian vice captain.
25:22The crowd's gone mad.
25:24Can Australia pull off this miraculous victory with 190 runs on the board?
25:29And the crowd erupted.
25:31And Bob Taylor's given out LBW looking to try and hit the ball down the ground.
25:36Greg Chappell always concentrating on the stumps.
25:40See, Bob Taylor looking for it.
25:41Hit the back pad and that was plumb.
25:43Would have hit middle stump about three quarters the way up.
25:46Very confident appeal from all the Australians.
25:49Umpire Dick French having a good look.
25:51And the end of Bob Taylor.
25:52And England 8 for 142.
25:56Chappell to Willis.
26:01Bob Willis.
26:02He's gone.
26:03He's gone.
26:04First ball.
26:04Chappell on a hat-trick.
26:06The out-swinger.
26:07Big Bob Willis.
26:08Six foot six.
26:09Went forward.
26:10Got an edge.
26:10Straight through to Rodney Marsh.
26:12And England 9 for 142.
26:14Pandemonium at the Sydney cricket ground.
26:1642,000 pounds shouting themselves hoarse.
26:19And what a bowling performance by the Australian team.
26:23It was the quick man in hog.
26:25Lawson and company.
26:26But now it's Greg Chappell chipping in to polish off the tail.
26:29With one that just moved away off the seam.
26:32Bob Willis looking to get the outside edge.
26:34And then elated Greg Chappell.
26:35And look at this captain and vice-captain together.
26:38Kim Hughes and Greg Chappell.
26:41And the forlorn England captain makes his way to the dressing room.
26:44Out first ball without scoring.
26:47And Bob Willis must be wondering what he has to do to win a match.
26:50The captain inside superbly today.
26:52Australia all out for 180.
26:54But the English bathroom once again very fragile against pace.
26:58And young Norman Cowans in front of 42,000 chanting fans comes out.
27:03Every foot of Phil like two miles as he makes his way to the crease.
27:08The crowd very pro-Australian today.
27:11The Australian vice-captain on a hat-trick.
27:13As Big Bob Willis splunges forward with the angled bat.
27:16A fine edge.
27:17And Rodney Marsh swallows it in those big gloves.
27:21Nine for 142.
27:23And it's all over for England as the ninth man comes out.
27:26The final man, tenth man Cowans.
27:2839 runs required.
27:30One wicket in hand and 11 overs remaining.
27:32Norman Cowans would be nervous as a kitten.
27:35That bat will be feeling like a toothpick in his massive hands.
27:39Vic Marks is saying it's only a game sum.
27:44You reckon he's really saying that, Bill?
27:46With Greg Chappell on a hat-trick.
27:50Tim Hughes, he's not carried away by it.
27:53Still maintaining the same field.
27:56Just Rodney Marsh, the one man behind the stumps.
28:00Greg Chappell on a hat-trick.
28:01And Norman Cowan and Patton pad together.
28:05At least he saved the day for England as far as hat-tricks are concerned.
28:08Could be the Yorker to Norman Cowans, Bill.
28:11Could be.
28:12And he needs 36 runs.
28:13That's only six sixes in his way of thinking.
28:17Goes for the Yorker.
28:18That's good bowling.
28:19And they are confused, the Englishmen.
28:21Marks and Norman Cowans.
28:23Looking at each other.
28:25Marks on stride.
28:27Drive beautifully through the covers.
28:28There's runs here.
28:29Rackermans after it.
28:31Turn for two.
28:32Big Carl Rackermann puts in the big ones.
28:34And knocks it back.
28:35They're three for three.
28:36Will they go through for four?
28:38Norman Cowans wants it.
28:40Great effort by Carl Rackermann.
28:42He's spreading all the rope down on the boundary.
28:44He gave 200% there for his team.
28:48Desperate cricket by Carl Rackermann.
28:50It was getting away from him.
28:51And he made the final last lunge at it.
28:54Very important, he pushed it back.
29:04He's a bit sore, the big man, but he's happy.
29:10Norman Cowans on strike.
29:12The last ball of Lawson's over.
29:17Full pitch, he's got it away down the final leg.
29:20Dyson's coming around.
29:22Just the one.
29:24Boy, oh boy.
29:26Nine for one, four, nine.
29:36Well, there's a comparison.
29:38The difference is the wickets.
29:39Two vital wickets.
29:41It's Greg Chappell to Norman Cowans.
29:42Young hero of the Melbourne Test.
29:45He's bowling!
29:45That's it, Chappell the hero.
29:48England all out for one, four, nine.
29:50And a great spell.
29:51The 11th hour by the Australian vice-captain.
29:54Do you think they're a happy team?
29:55As well they might be.
29:57They've bowled England out for one, four, nine.
29:59A very happy Australian vice-captain.
30:02A delirious 42,000 spectators.
30:05And that's a great victory.
30:07They'll never end this match
30:08until their bowl has bowled a great line at length.
30:12Hogg, Lawson, Rackermann, Thompson and Chappell victory by 31 runs for the Australian team.
30:18And if ever they earned one, they earned this one at the Sydney Cricket Ground.
30:21Their batsmen were ordinary.
30:23Their barbers were absolutely magnificent.
30:25And also their fieldsman, Bill.
30:28Tremendous effort by the Australians.
30:30Looked as if it was a foregone conclusion halfway through the England innings.
30:34But what a great fight back.
30:35Not one of the 42,000 people has left this Sydney Cricket Ground.
30:40And the crowd absolutely erupted with that final wicket.
30:44Well, who would have thought that could happen?
30:46149 all out in 41.1 overs.
30:49And yet midway through that innings, I thought England were skating it in
30:52when Alan Lamb and Ian Botham were together.
30:55Lamb played quite well for 49.
30:56And Botham was just starting to move when he was bowled by Rackermann,
31:00who he played on to Rackermann for 18.
31:03And then the slide came and the England batsmen could do nothing about it.
31:07The Australians played very well.
31:08They bowled well.
31:09They pulled themselves together in the field.
31:11And Hughes marshalled his force as well.
31:13And his tactical sense was very good out there.
31:15I thought Hogg and Rackermann were outstanding with the ball.
31:18Hogg's figures of 10 overs, 1 maiden, 1 for 15, were very, very good.
31:23In fact, they were a just reward for some extremely good bowling.
31:28Rackermann, player of the match, 3 for 28 from 8 overs and 1 maiden.
31:31And Thompson and Lawson, who were very much astray early on
31:34and bowled lots of wides and no balls,
31:36still came in with their share.
31:38Of good performances there.
31:40Greg Chappell, 3 for 17 at the end, 5.1 overs.
31:43And Hughes, I thought, did just the right thing in bringing him on when he did.
31:46He had to choose the moment when he knew
31:49that there was no good just keeping runs down.
31:52And he attacked, got the wickets,
31:54and Greg Chappell at the end, bowling medium pace,
31:56did the job for him.
31:57So 42,030 people here at the Sydney Cricket Ground
32:01for this fixture today against England and tonight.
32:03And in the first match down in Melbourne, there were 46,000.
32:07So the limited overmatches here already drawing in splendid fashion.
32:10Good night.
32:12Good night.
32:14Good night.
32:14Good night.
32:15Good night.
32:15Good night.
32:16Good night.
32:16Good night.
