00:00is really going to favour some of these bowlers, but can they take advantage of the conditions?
00:03I have Shane Warne alongside me. Good evening, everyone. This pitch will provide an even pace
00:08and bounce with the ball coming on nicely to the back, so the batsmen should enjoy themselves out
00:12there. The bowlers will have to make full use of the new ball if they had to keep the score
00:15down.
00:16Line and length will be viable. It's warm out there today, but it shouldn't pose too many problems
00:20for the players.
00:34I can see the captains are on their way out to the middle for the crucial toss, so let's see
00:38what happens.
00:45Never an easy choice to field first, but that's what they're doing.
00:48It'll be interesting to see if that was the right decision as the match wears on.
00:56There's a capacity crowd here waiting expectedly for me to begin.
00:59Now it's up to the bowlers to see what they can do on this pitch.
01:05Spin out of all the first over.
01:28Let's take a look at Hawkeye.
01:47Bradman stands out as the greatest batsman
01:48of all time by a country mile, but what do you think was the key to his success with the
01:53bat?
01:53Oh, Bradman definitely is to say why someone's the greatest.
01:57They just are, and I think with Bradman he was just
01:59such a remarkable player from the footage and the people that tell the stories about him.
02:05He wasn't there for very long because he scores shows.
02:10Let's take a look at that in replay.
02:18Let's go.
02:18Serious pressure on the new bowl no-balls with this new rule about the free hit.
02:25Tremendous timing.
02:28He's certainly given that some stick.
02:29Six rounds.
02:30The ball would be an absolute thing about that.
02:32He hardly seemed to hit it if it sailed over the ropes.
02:51Do you see intimidation as an important tactic for the fast bowler?
02:55Intimidation is, look, a fast bowler always has intimidation because the batsman can think
02:58you can hit him in the head.
02:59So, look, intimidation is an important weapon for a fast bowler, that's for sure.
03:31The ball just runs out.
03:33Out, pull.
03:39Let's look at that again.
03:45Benty of pressure on the new.
03:58That's a sensational shot.
04:02He played that with a lovely straight-back.
04:04Hit the gap, beautiful.
04:05Forehand.
04:11Benty of pressure on the new.
04:21Whether it be Muralee, whether it be Dan Vittori, you know, there's so many good
04:25spinners playing in international cricket at the moment.
04:27So, it's exciting as a spin at the ceiling point.
04:52Bats are looking for two.
04:55Bats are looking for two.
05:05Bats are looking for two.
05:14Bats are looking for three straight-back.
05:16The other one.
05:25Bats are looking for three straight-back.
05:27That's in the air, and it's cleared the road.
05:42Just one run. That's a disastrously expensive over.
06:01That was a hard shot. Cool.
06:05The crowd really enjoyed that one.
06:18Beautiful timing.
06:20That might clear the road. It has.
06:22Just be real ready for that one.
06:25Polar really needs to keep it tighter.
06:50Oh, that's a superb shot. That was beautiful for the right foot. Beautiful place for all of them.
06:57The crowd really enjoyed that one.
07:12The crowd really enjoyed that one.
07:15I think the way he holds his grip, what his stance is like.
07:18Is it open? Is it closed? How he holds the bat?
07:21All those little things are very important in assessing his technique,
07:24and then making a plan for that one.
07:36No ball.
07:38You can pass signaling a no ball.
07:55Just one there.
08:00Just one there.
08:03Ouch.
08:04Caught.
08:04Yet again, the action fails to follow the ball, and reload.
08:09Let's have a look at the action replay.
08:17Mute.
08:17WI-ujin.
08:23OU
08:23-UCH! Let's
08:30have a look at that again.
08:50Well, that's a fracking shot.
08:53That shot will give you an idea of just how fast this outfield is.
08:56You have a great power.
09:12That's a long walk back and you haven't scored many wins.
09:15Let's take a look at that in re-play.
09:25The tail end are at the crease here.
09:45Do you see intimidation as an important tactic for the fast forward?
09:48The fast forward always says intimidation is the batsman can hit him in the head.
09:54Intimidation is an important record for the fast forward.
10:00Beautiful timing.
10:03That's in the air and it's sailed over the fence.
10:06He might not have been quite to the pitch but continued with the shot anyway and hit it miles.
10:16That's a nice little way to the boundary.
10:18Smashing shot.
10:19Really, really smashing.
10:20I paid money just to come.
10:30I can't see that.
10:36He's hit that well.
10:39That was a mighty hit.
10:40On a pitch like this I feel for the bowlers as there really is no margin.
10:44The bowler really needs to keep it tighter.
10:56That's a confident appeal.
10:58Out.
11:22Out.
11:23Out.
11:24Out.
11:40And from another angle
11:40Into the tail now
12:07Tremendous timing
12:09We really struck that beautifully
12:11That was a cracking shot
12:12We really got in a good position
12:25That's gone fine here
12:29Ouch!
12:35Let's have a look at that again
12:48Tail ender at the crease here
13:01That's going to climb back for a second
13:10An easy catch to long off
13:12Yet again
13:17Let's have a look at that again
13:29That brings the innings to a close
13:30He's getting a polite round of applause
13:32He makes his way to the beginning
13:36These two batsmen need to occupy the crease
13:37And see off the new ball to establish a good platform
13:47They're appealing
13:48That's out
13:50Right in front
13:51That's when we can have no compliance there
13:54That is absolutely plump
13:56Let's look at that again
14:00Let's take a look at Hawkeye
14:17Oh that's a superb shot
14:21Oh lovely timing
14:23That was a wonderful shot
14:24He looks in great shape
14:47I don't have to throw up
14:50I can't see in the case
14:50That's as close as well
14:52I can't see in the game
14:53I can't see in the game
14:53He's taken a couple of hits
14:53He's taken a couple of hits
14:53I've seen a couple of hits
14:55He's taken a couple of hits
14:58it's an edge
15:02Baxman are looking for two
15:06off this ball
15:21they're having a shout
15:31Baxman's not happy with that decision
15:33let's have a look at the action repo
15:41I wonder what Hawkeye made of that
15:48absolute concentration required from a new man in
