00:17Welcome to the highlights of this Benson Hedges World Series Cup match.
00:20It's the second of the doubleheader games at the Gabba this weekend.
00:24Australia play India.
00:26A magnificent day, temperature forecast of around about 31 degrees, hardly a cloud in the sky, similar to yesterday when
00:33India played New Zealand.
00:34The Benson Hedges World Series Cup table, India on top with two points.
00:39Australia and New Zealand each have one from that rain-mired match down in Melbourne on Thursday night.
00:45The two teams, India, they've gone in with the same side as played yesterday.
00:48Shivarama Krishnan is 12th man.
00:50And Australia are playing the same team that took the field against New Zealand last Thursday, which means that Geoff
00:56Marsh will be carrying the drinks for them.
01:00Well, it is a magnificent sight here at the Gabba.
01:02Capacity crowd, all ticket affair today.
01:05The gates have been shut.
01:07Bill Lorry and Keith Stackpole are in the commentary box on this magnificent Brisbane Sunday morning.
01:11We pick up play in the very first over of the match.
01:14No runs on the board, no wickets down.
01:16McDermott is bowling to Gavaskar.
01:21Beautifully played.
01:22Great start by Sunil Gavaskar.
01:25Slow outfield, they're not running.
01:29Just gets into the gutter.
01:33No signal yet from the umpire.
01:35Ask the fieldsman the question.
01:41Just two runs.
01:45Hi there, Steve Randall.
01:47Just having a chat across to Dick French there, just confirming whether it was two or four.
01:52Dave Gilbert was the fieldsman, so if that's any reflection of the type of cricket that we're going to see,
01:57that was certainly desperation personified then.
02:05Miss Tommy hit straight down the ground, doesn't quite get it in the middle.
02:12Well, yesterday it was 27 runs from only 17 balls.
02:17The son of Gavaskar, and he's certainly not wasting any time today.
02:28Simon Davies is the bowler, and Gavaskar is taking strike.
02:33Got him.
02:34Going for the big hit down the ground.
02:35That's the breakthrough that they needed.
02:37Simon Davies once again striking.
02:42Gavaskar bowled for five.
02:44And a battle of strategies out there already.
02:48Gavaskar trying to hit Simon Davies down the ground through that mid-wicket area.
02:52Got a bottom edge and dragged it back onto the stumps.
02:55And out goes that leg stump.
02:57And a good start once again by Simon Davies.
03:00Playing only his second representative match.
03:02Bowling Gavaskar for five, and India one for five.
03:07Dermot Deshrakhanth.
03:11Beautifully played over the infield.
03:14Very intelligent batting.
03:16Brings up four runs.
03:17What a wonderful batsman this man is.
03:19Tremendous eye, beautiful timing.
03:22And the courage to go over the top.
03:35There he goes again.
03:36There's a man out there.
03:37He's under it.
03:37A third man.
03:38He's getting under it.
03:38He's caught it.
03:40Matthews the fieldsman.
03:41Dermot Deshrakhanth getting a top edge.
03:42A very well judged catch.
03:44Had to pick up whether it was going to carry or not.
03:47And that's a vital wicket for Australians.
03:49Fine catch.
03:50Good piece of body.
03:52That was a pressure catch then for Greg Matthews.
03:55Dermot Deshrakhanth looking to hit it down the ground again.
03:57Just moved away on him.
03:59Just moved away on him just a fraction.
04:00Got a top edge and it floated down to Matthews who found it probably pretty difficult to pick up at
04:05first.
04:06They're not easy those ones that fly off the edge.
04:08But what a great start by Australia.
04:10India two for 13 and missed just the fifth over.
04:16Greg McDermott bowling now to Armanath.
04:21Shot beautifully played off the back foot.
04:29Well he's hit the fence with the ball in his hand.
04:32Watch the umpire.
04:35No, just the three runs.
04:39And India just a little slack with their running between the wickets.
04:42Looked as though that was going to be a forerunner.
04:45But Dave Gilbert once again just picking it up just inside then.
04:49And just reaching there for a little bit of support with the other hand.
04:54But Armanath thinking that that was going to reach the boundary quite easily.
04:57It's pretty lush the outfield here at the Gabba.
04:59So they're going to have to run a little bit quicker.
05:05Good delivery from Craig McDermott.
05:10That was through Vensarka.
05:15Looking for that gap down to third man.
05:22Gilbert to Armanath.
05:28Once again into that gap at mid wicket.
05:32It may be if he's going to ball straight.
05:35And he's going to attempt to keep it right up there.
05:38He'll have to bring one of his three fieldsmen on the offside across.
05:44Notice that three fieldsmen in position at mid off.
05:48Extra cover and point.
05:50Might have to bring one of them across and put him in that area there.
05:58It's in the air and just wide.
06:01Border diving away to his left to try and cut that one off.
06:04He didn't get a hand to it in the end.
06:06Went a little bit too fine for him.
06:08It certainly was in the air and it's gone down to third man for four.
06:12Yes, well that's the frustration, the heartache of bowling in one day cricket.
06:17There's no slips.
06:19Well not a lot.
06:19There's just a gully.
06:20It would have been a magnificent catch.
06:22In fact he did pull one off during the test series.
06:25Like that Alan Borda.
06:27Great it was on his left hand but came a long way across.
06:32And a boundary result.
06:37He's got him, he's out, caught behind.
06:40Bob Bould, that one moving away just a little bit in the air.
06:43Armanath chasing it, a thick edge and nicely taken by Phillips.
06:48Here's Armanath making 13.
06:51Chases this one, the outswing it closer to the stumps.
06:54Still a long way from the body.
06:55Good catch by Phillips.
06:57Comfortably.
06:58So now what a breakthrough.
07:00The Australians have got three Indian wickets down now for 29 runs.
07:16That was an attempted Yorker and a beautiful ball to.
07:20Mohamed Azradin is having a terrible time out there.
07:22That one's gone for four.
07:23But this is not very good luck for Dave Gilbert.
07:26That was a magnificent delivery.
07:28He managed to squeeze it through somehow down to fine leg.
07:33Very hard to place a field to shots like this.
07:36There's no justice in the game.
07:37Almost takes the leg stump.
07:39Ooh, so, ever so lucky.
07:43Not very quick.
07:45Van Sarka, 21 balls for just three.
07:47Indians trying to consolidate here a little.
07:57A shot.
07:59Well, it's going to be interesting to have another look at that one.
08:03A direct hit there.
08:04Good fielding.
08:06Stephen Waugh coming in like a flash.
08:10There's a little hesitation there, Vidsaka.
08:13Steve Waugh picks up, has a shy.
08:17My goodness.
08:19Hamad Azradin in the green protective helmet faces Gilbert.
08:24Well, that's a full toss.
08:26Oh, and the ball bouncing away.
08:30It seemed to me to the left there.
08:32And that was the reason why Boone wasn't able to stop that one.
08:46Fielders are on their toes.
08:48David Boone gets a chase.
08:50Charge.
08:51He beats the mid-wicket fieldsman.
08:53Looks like the charge is about to begin.
08:55And I agree with you, Bill.
08:57I think they will be looking to start lobbing it over the infield a bit.
09:05Oh, that was...
09:06Out!
09:07Yes!
09:07Off the hands.
09:08Vidsaka.
09:09Good decision.
09:12Went like a bullet.
09:13Deflection.
09:13Off the bar.
09:14Into the stumps.
09:15Vidsaka.
09:16Run out for 19.
09:18Good decision, but not very lucky.
09:21That one hit straight back at the stumps.
09:22Have a look how it happens.
09:24Waugh sticks his hand out.
09:26Deflects off his hand.
09:27Tried to stop it, he did.
09:28Onto the stumps.
09:29And the batsman there, just out of his crease.
09:32And the umpire down that end, it's umpire French, has his eye on the bat.
09:37So an unlucky dismissal.
09:38That's for Dilip Vidsaka.
09:39On his way back for 19.
09:41India, 4 for 69.
09:43The new batsman is Kapil Dev, the Indian captain.
09:49He scores at more than one a ball.
09:52So he's a real danger man.
09:55Close.
09:56Very close.
09:57He was back and across.
09:59The end of a very good over.
10:01That must have been very close indeed.
10:03The ball cutting back.
10:05Big shout.
10:06Maybe an inside edge.
10:09Let's have a look at it.
10:11Lips back a little bit.
10:12On the back pad.
10:13Well, if he didn't hit that, in my book, he was out.
10:17Fielding has been excellent.
10:18Bowling spot on.
10:22The umpire down that end.
10:24Umpire French.
10:26Oh, the old French cup.
10:27The best shot in the book.
10:31Well, that one a little lucky too, to slip through, uh, the clutches of the Australians there.
10:37Phillips went diving away to his left.
10:39Didn't get a glove on it.
10:40See if he went, uh, quickly saw it go.
10:44It went like, uh, he went as far as he could with his left hand there.
10:48But, uh, that one was just a little bit too well-nicked, if you like, to allow Phillips to get
10:53a hand on it.
11:00Big hit.
11:00Over she goes.
11:02Six of the best.
11:05What a beautiful shot.
11:06Well, you can't stray down leg side too much.
11:08He played a similar shot to this yesterday.
11:11Anything that's going down the leg side at all, or pitched on leg stump, is going to be helped away.
11:15And this certainly was helped away.
11:17Helped away straight over the top of that square leg boundary for six.
11:21Well, it's, uh, careful Dev out there who's, uh, going to take up the challenge here to the Australians.
11:27He's a magnificent striker of the ball.
11:36Bordering quickly.
11:36That's very close.
11:37He's got him.
11:38What a brilliant piece of work on his left hand.
11:40Ian Chappell had pointed out earlier.
11:42The left-hander at square leg or midwick.
11:44It's always got that opportunity.
11:45That was a brilliant piece of work.
11:48On the run, the underarm hit the stumps.
11:50And Cappell, Dev, run out.
11:51A magnificent piece of fielding.
11:53Yes, this is a vital bit of fielding for the Australians.
11:55Dev's looking dangerous.
11:57Border comes in from midwicket, actually.
11:59And underarms that at the stumps with his left hand.
12:01Makes no mistake.
12:02And I think he's probably a foot and a half short there.
12:05And, uh, up goes the peel.
12:07Bill and Bordering knows exactly how important that run out was.
12:11Dev out for 16.
12:14Number five for 100.
12:15Change and commentary team.
12:16It's Max Walker and Ian Chappell.
12:20Thanks, Bill.
12:21Harvey Shastry is the man who comes to the crease.
12:25And he's got, uh, Azaruddin.
12:28So, two wickets and two balls.
12:30And the Australians really having a great morning.
12:37Well, what a great morning.
12:38The Australians started off well with the ball.
12:41Just had a run out the last delivery.
12:44And this one dragged onto the pads, then onto the stumps.
12:47And two in two balls.
12:48Alan Bordering must be ecstatic.
12:50Azaruddin out for 35.
12:52And it's six for 100.
13:05And he's knocked leg stump out of the ground.
13:07Shastry going across too far.
13:09And Reid has bowled in behind his pads.
13:13So, three wickets falling in the space of two overs.
13:18Well, come on, Ozzy.
13:19Come on.
13:20The chants here.
13:21The crowd roar.
13:22And what a better sight.
13:24Seventh Indian wicket goes down.
13:26Behind the back of the pads.
13:28Ravi Shastry loses the leg stump.
13:31And he's on his way.
13:32So, a tremendous breakthrough.
13:35Seven for 102.
13:37Shastry on his way.
13:4532 overs bowled.
13:48And it's been a good performance from all Australian bowlers and the fieldsmen.
13:56And a good in-swinger there from Bruce Reid.
14:00Swing quite late.
14:06Well, it's all happening down at the keeper's end.
14:09Phillips knocks the bat out of Cheetan Sharma's hand.
14:11He's going without a bat now.
14:13And he's made a beaut tumble turn.
14:15And he's back again.
14:16Down with Wayne Phillips to pick up his bat.
14:19Well, a little bit of humour there.
14:20But it was pretty serious stuff for the men involved.
14:24Throw back.
14:25Hit the stumps.
14:29And it comes in.
14:31Phillips has already knocked the bat down.
14:34Ball hits the stumps.
14:36And then a shy back to the bowlers end.
14:39Whoops.
14:40That's about a 30-metre run.
14:42Here's a long way.
14:44In fact, they may have even got another one.
14:53That's fairly close.
14:54Yes, umpire French has a long look and decides that Waugh has got his second wicket in this innings.
15:03Here's Roger Binney.
15:05He departs at last Waugh.
15:07Gets the decision of the umpire.
15:09He's asked the question on many occasions today.
15:12There's no doubt about this one.
15:14The front pad only just in front of the line.
15:17Would have taken middle right out of the ground.
15:19And Binney turns his back on the umpire.
15:21But there's no doubt on Dick French's mind.
15:23He's out.
15:25Roger Binney departs for eight.
15:26And India are eight for 113.
15:30Saeed Kimani.
15:31A batting average of 20.35.
15:36Doesn't get much opportunity coming in at number 10.
15:38But he has made two test sentries.
15:43They'll be hoping to bat out the 50.
15:47And he starts with a boundary.
15:49Stephen Moore a little annoyed with himself for pitching too short.
16:07There's an opportunity gone.
16:08It was beautifully gathered in and thrown.
16:10But the bounce in the end was awkward for Phillips.
16:15He was racing up to get to the stumps.
16:18Steve Moore picked up and threw brilliantly.
16:22And Wayne Phillips just not able to gather it on the half volley.
16:26Difficult bounce.
16:27He was coming up.
16:28He had to try and gather it in stride.
16:30And that's that ounce of luck that perhaps India have been searching for.
16:36Dermott's gone to Kimani.
16:41That was a good stroke.
16:43It's beaten the infield.
16:44There's no man straight.
16:46Reid is the chaser.
16:48And Kimani will pick up three.
16:56And suddenly all that sharp work we were talking about
17:01is not hanging together.
17:04It's been the missed run out.
17:06Now there's been the throw.
17:10And another overthrow.
17:16Now they just must concentrate.
17:2037 overs completed.
17:21Now 126 runs.
17:23They've Gilbert as the bowler from the Stanley Street end.
17:28Good shot.
17:31Almost six.
17:32Just short of the boundary.
17:34Applause from Kimani.
17:37And Chetna Sharma has played it beautifully.
17:40Picked up the length nicely from David Gilbert.
17:43Swung it away out into that open area out there.
17:46And immediately that has prompted Alan Border to do away with mid on.
17:54No ball.
17:54And beautifully struck away.
17:56And beautifully struck away.
17:56War the fielder.
18:05And a great return.
18:08Three more to Chetna Sharma.
18:23Good shot for four.
18:25Full toss.
18:26Applause.
18:29These two players, one experienced, Kimani, and the other relatively inexperienced, Chetna Sharma,
18:35suddenly have brought a hush around this ground.
18:41They're fighting back in the manner of true champions.
18:45So they certainly have written a few frowns starting to peer on the faces of the Australians
18:50up there.
18:50But the Australian tactics have changed in the last few overs.
18:53Suddenly they're not so conscious of saving runs.
18:56They're trying to get wickets.
18:57They're trying to wrap up this innings.
19:02Good shot.
19:05A 1.50 comes up for India.
19:07This is a tremendous fight back by Kimani and Chetna Sharma.
19:17And that's out.
19:20Well, that'll be a welcome sight for the Australians, I can tell you.
19:22Kimani has played very well indeed for his 27.
19:26And that partnership has got India back in with a chance.
19:30They're over the 150 mark now.
19:33Matthews was the catcher.
19:39With Matthews taking the catch, pretty tough to keep him out of the game these days.
19:44End of a very good partnership.
19:4647-run partnership there.
19:47India 9 for 160.
20:03Pad there, through for the leg by.
20:05They come back in the second.
20:07Yes, no.
20:08There's a chance for a run out.
20:09The straight score is gone.
20:10Yes, he's out.
20:11Hesitation once again.
20:13An argument between the two batsmen.
20:15It's too late now.
20:16Nine for 160.
20:18All out for 160.
20:22Good piece of work.
20:25They're certainly happy.
20:27One of the best performance we have seen for a long, long time from the Australian team in the field.
20:32This morning and this afternoon.
20:34Some purpose, some dedication.
20:36A delight at Alan Borda.
20:38Must be thrilled with the team's performance today.
20:48Well, India battled their way back into this game with that partnership between Kiamani and Chetan Sharma.
20:53And they have the runs on the board.
20:55161.
20:56The top score, Azaruddin 35.
20:58But that partnership between those two players down the order added 47 in just nine overs.
21:03And gave the innings a little touch of respectability.
21:06161 from 43 overs.
21:09The Australian bowling figures make impressive reading.
21:11Dermot bowled very well.
21:132 for 32.
21:14Davis won for 11.
21:15Gilbert won for 42.
21:17War 2 for 46.
21:18And Reid won for 24.
21:20Australia won 62 to win.
21:22In 50 overs had 3.24 per over.
21:26But they are playing against the world champions.
21:28Great fighters.
21:29And those runs are on the board.
21:34Thank you, Richie.
21:35Well, the Australian innings off to a great start.
21:39First ball, dispatched behind square leg for four runs.
21:43A little bit of movement there for Kapil Dev, but it was right on the legs of Wayne Phillips.
21:48He's very strong off his pads.
21:51And that was certainly a very confident shot by the Australian opener.
21:55Just straightened just a little bit.
21:57Whipped off middle and off.
21:59And gave the man down at five length no chance.
22:12David Boone decides that he's going to get in on this progression and a good start for him.
22:17Both batsmen getting off the mark with a boundary.
22:21And that's the way to go, I think, in these 15 overs.
22:23First 15 overs.
22:25Saw the West Indies do it last year.
22:26The Indians in the final of the World Championship of Cricket.
22:29Anything that's short, non-league stump.
22:30It's just a matter of getting in behind it.
22:33Scooping it over the infield.
22:34And with only the two men allowed to be out of that area.
22:36Australia, more often than not, it goes straight to the boundary.
22:40So an aggressive start by the Australians.
22:44That's a good shot from Wayne Phillips.
22:46Just one bounce and it crashes into the fence.
22:50Two boundaries from that over.
22:51And Australia making a very good start.
23:00And a good shot from David Boone.
23:02So we've now got four boundaries in just 2.1 overs.
23:10Magnificent start.
23:16To mid-off and out.
23:18Mahinda Armanath is the man at mid-off who's taken quite a straightforward catch.
23:23That was hit particularly well, too, by Wayne Phillips.
23:26But just not clearing the man at mid-off.
23:29Roger Binney got the breakthrough for Indy yesterday.
23:31And does it again today.
23:33Good catch by Armanath down at mid-off.
23:35They had a bit on it.
23:36So good breakthrough by Indy.
23:39They needed to put the brakes on this innings.
23:41And they've done that by getting rid of Wayne Phillips for 8.
23:43Australia 1 for 20.
23:44And this is the 4th over.
23:48And an incredible number of matches by Gary on board.
23:51118.
23:52Pickle Dev just trying to put a little bit more pressure on in there.
23:54Two slips in there for him.
23:57And boarder off the mark with a boundary as the previous two batsmen have done.
24:05Successful over there for Roger Binney.
24:07Picking up the first wicket.
24:15Oh, and a good sharp in-swinger there from Keppel Dev.
24:19David Boone has to rush to get back into his crease.
24:24I think he was taking a bit of interest in the LBW decision and not where he was standing.
24:29Also, what was interesting, the throw of Sonal Gavaskar.
24:32If he had have hit the stumps with boarder right out of his crease, he would have been run out.
24:38In fact, it was nearly a double play there.
24:43And boarder just a little loose on...
24:44And it's taken by Gavaskar at first slip.
24:47So he's hit five in the middle.
24:49The one that catches the edge gets Roger Binney a wicket.
24:54And so often that happens.
24:55He hit five good shots and get the one streaky one.
24:58But that was a good ball from Roger Binney.
25:00Looked as though it just went away fractionally off the wicket.
25:03And that flew quite quickly to Gavaskar, who made no mistake.
25:07Got right behind it, straight into the hands.
25:10And this game, it's alive.
25:11Australia, two for 27 in the sixth over.
25:23What a beautiful shot.
25:25Boarder really latching onto that one.
25:27Driving it through extra cover down to the boundary.
25:31It was lovely timing and also hit it straight into the gap.
25:42Safely away over the top, speeding away into the fence.
25:46Well, that'll give Binney something to think about.
25:49He's picked up the two wickets.
25:50Might just have to change his angle a little now.
25:54This will board a certain not going to allow his side to get bogged down.
25:57He's clearly decided that if it's up there, it's going to go.
25:59And that's the way to play.
26:01It was a lovely shot.
26:02Once again, off the meat of the bat.
26:11It's going to work to his.
26:17It's wide of the man, a deep, fine leg.
26:21Four runs to David Hooks.
26:23And he's off the mark.
26:26Yes, he's had a traumatic time out there up to this point.
26:31And he wasn't about to let that one go through to the keeper.
26:34Had latched onto it.
26:35High into the air it went.
26:37But quite square.
26:38He hit it just well enough to get it wide of the fieldsman down there.
26:42So a little sigh of relief for David Hooks.
26:45He's got four.
26:45Boarder has 16.
26:53Oh, what a good catch.
26:55What a beautiful catch.
26:57Mohamed Ajruddin just behind square leg or perhaps square on the onside.
27:02He picked that up magnificently.
27:04The third wicket is down.
27:05Hooks is out.
27:06And Binney has three.
27:08Yes, it certainly was a good catch.
27:09Whipping it away at a leg.
27:11Off the meat of the bat.
27:12Straight to him.
27:13But it was going like a rocket at him.
27:15Made no mistake.
27:16Picked it up.
27:17Threw it in the air.
27:18And that's another very important wicket to the Indians.
27:22Hooks up for five.
27:23And it's three for 45.
27:32Here's Chetan Sharma.
27:39That's a great catch if it's...
27:43Yes, it's a great catch.
27:46Kermani diving away to his right-hand side has taken Boarder.
27:53And that is real trouble for Australia.
27:58It's brought the Indians out of their seats, that's for sure.
28:01Big edge there.
28:01No doubt about the catch.
28:02I think it bobbled in his gloves there for a second.
28:04But it was cleanly taken way above the surface.
28:07Umpire French had a little glance over towards umpire Randall.
28:10He confirmed that it had carried and the Indians know that wicket was vital to them.
28:15Boarder out for 16.
28:16And now Australia, four for 45.
28:27Got him!
28:27What a catch!
28:28What a catch!
28:29A classic.
28:31A magnificent reflex catch.
28:34Ritchie hitting off the back foot.
28:37Chetan Sharma threw out the hand and it stuck.
28:39And the crowd's going wild at the Gabba.
28:42Australia collapsing to five for 48.
28:45Well, Greg Ritchie's got every right to be disappointed on that.
28:48He has middled this off the back foot.
28:51Power in that shot.
28:52Chetan Sharma following through.
28:54Going the wrong way.
28:55Bodyweight towards the left.
28:56He grabs it in the right hand.
28:58Throws it high in the air.
29:00And Australia in real trouble now.
29:02Five down for 48.
29:04Ritchie making one.
29:08Oh, great.
29:09Thank you, Jay.
29:11Tell me what, he's got some incredible qualities this young guy.
29:14Australia out in the middle.
29:15And he'll need to have every little bit of his game together out there
29:19if he's to get Australia out of this one.
29:25It's well placed.
29:26But they're on their toes in this field.
29:30Two runs.
29:36This captain Dev will find his problem.
29:40Not a problem.
29:42He'll have to bring Amanath into the attack.
29:45And maybe the conditions here will suit him as a fourth medium pacer.
29:49He's also got the two spinners.
29:51Yadav, Ravi Shastri, the left-arm orthodox spinner.
29:54But at the moment, the pressure right up to the Australians.
30:00Could be close.
30:01Matthew's quick.
30:02Not picked up.
30:03He picked his mark.
30:05Jimmy Amanath.
30:06A little bit slow at cover.
30:08We saw Alan Border pull off a run-out earlier today.
30:26A very important partnership.
30:31This one, Steve Waugh.
30:32Didn't quite middle that.
30:35Cover point dives.
30:36Very important, this partnership, because...
30:40Look at this.
30:41We've just got McDermott.
30:44Read.
30:45And Davis.
30:47Still to come.
30:50Oh, bottom edge.
30:52Full value for that.
30:53Races away for a badly needed four runs.
30:58Well, left them on the deck everywhere.
31:00Spread eagle.
31:01What can you do?
31:03Pick the gap.
31:04Eyeball to eyeball.
31:05Straight between the pair.
31:08Pick up the boundary.
31:09Long way from the body.
31:11Bounces well in front.
31:14Sonny Gavasko just a little late getting across there.
31:17But there they are.
31:18The eyes have it.
31:28Shout of weight from Steve Waugh.
31:30Oh, Matthew's off.
31:31Back.
31:31And he just gets back in time.
31:35That was almost a disaster.
31:39Well, the Shastri administers a bit of resuscitation.
31:45And Matthew's back up on his feet.
31:47And what a great piece of cricket then by Kapil Dev.
31:50Putting out the foot.
31:51Came back quickly.
31:53Saw Matthews out of his crisp.
31:54A desperation by Matthews.
31:56Diving for the line.
31:57Look at Steve Randall.
31:58The position he was in.
32:05And that's what the two batsmen have got to do.
32:07Just work the ball around.
32:09That's good running from Matthews.
32:12It certainly was.
32:14Aggressive running.
32:16From Greg Matthews.
32:18He really did scamper through for that first run.
32:21He knew the throw was going to come into his end for the second.
32:25And he made it fairly easily.
32:28Turned nicely.
32:29Kept his eye right on it.
32:31Accelerated.
32:31Good.
32:41That's a good shot.
32:43That beats Ravi Shastri.
32:45He's got a bit of a hand on it.
32:48And Waugh quickly through for three.
32:50That'll do a lot of good for the young man from New South Wales.
32:56It really is amazing how these boundaries are looting the Australians.
33:01That looked off the bat.
33:02And so that was going to be the first one for some time.
33:05Ravi Shastri at mid-off.
33:07Going to his left hand, which is his natural hand.
33:11Attempting to make a very good save.
33:13He certainly cut off the boundary.
33:14Saved a run.
33:19Yardav being brought into the attack.
33:27Boles off spinners.
33:29Oh, what a good shot off the back foot.
33:31Forced away down to the boundary square.
33:35Well, when he latches on to those,
33:39they certainly fly off the bat.
33:41That's the second boundary in 17 overs.
33:44Have a look at this, though.
33:46Onto the back foot and beautifully played away.
33:51So they've fallen just behind what was...
33:54No, they haven't.
33:55They're still just in front.
33:56And a big appeal there for court behind.
33:59Well, no reaction from umpire Randall.
34:02There was certainly a noise.
34:03It seemed to me that the keeper took the bails off.
34:07And then, in fact, made the appeal.
34:10Let's see if we can pick up any noise here.
34:18The keeper was interested more in the stumping there.
34:23But he then followed up the close-in fielder and the bowler.
34:29Once again, he's rolling that one away.
34:32It's very well played into the gap.
34:33Will this one get there?
34:34No, it won't.
34:36Sharma, this time, gets it well inside the boundary.
34:39And those three runs bring up the 100 for Australia.
34:49Down the line he comes and he's hit that straight down the ground.
34:52He's underneath it.
34:53Sharma's going to get there.
34:53He's dropped it.
34:55Well, he's come all the way from deep long off.
34:59Ben Sarko was at deep long on.
35:01I would have thought he could have made it a little bit more comfortable.
35:06Certainly could have got there more comfortably.
35:08Well, it went up miles and eventually got dropped.
35:14He's run across and the two converging on each other and eventually didn't quite get there.
35:19Certainly just got his fingertips to it, but he didn't judge it very well.
35:36Well, that's beautifully played.
35:39Well, he got to the pitch of that one.
35:40Gave himself just a little bit of room and drove it through the gap and extra cover.
35:45A little timing by Stephen Ward.
35:47That'll take the pressure off him just a little.
35:49He's scored on to 35 now.
35:51Matthews also has 35.
36:00He's got a lot of confidence for a man so young.
36:07It's a thick edge and that's Bayou for his attempt to drive.
36:24Steve Swarrow swinging pretty hard there.
36:27The arm ball just getting an outside edge.
36:30No one down there through the gully.
36:32Two runs.
36:35Bowled in.
36:36Yes, sir, got the off stump.
36:38That was the break they needed.
36:40Ward trying to hit square of the wicket.
36:42The fine innings ends for 40 and the game once again wide open.
36:48Yes, the game is wide open and hitting against the spin.
36:52Ward, who played very sensibly up until now.
36:57Off stump standing ovation as the young man from New South Wales leaves the ground.
37:02Two wickets with the ball.
37:03Now 40 runs.
37:04Australia's six down.
37:05Score 127.
37:09Sitting on the edge of your seat as 21,000 people here at the Gabbarar.
37:13Some standing.
37:15Frightened to sit down.
37:18Deflection, a good one.
37:19That's four.
37:21What the doctor ordered just straight to leg stump off the thigh.
37:25But it doesn't matter.
37:26Matthews getting behind that delivery.
37:30It's a desperate bid by Kamani.
37:32Kamani caught the Australian captain, Alan Border, down the leg side on his right.
37:36Similar sort of shot, but Matthews doesn't make contact.
37:39Kamani a long way across to his right.
37:43Too much of a problem, and Matthews worrying how they come up.
37:47Leg buys are just as good as off the middle of the bat.
37:50You can put them up on the scoreboard for Australia.
37:54And McDermott.
37:56Pretty bowled very well this morning with the ball.
37:59A fair bit of experience.
38:00Nineteen matches.
38:05That much action here.
38:06It's very hard to keep your eye on just exactly what is happening,
38:09and there's plenty here.
38:11Not just the batsman, but Roger Binney's now in the covers.
38:18It's in the air.
38:19It's over the line.
38:20It's well struck.
38:23Four very valuable runs.
38:26The pressure eases at the Gabba.
38:28It was on about middle leg.
38:31He hit through it.
38:32Timed it well.
38:34And that's his go.
38:36Craig McDermott.
38:37Very good when he hits straight down the ground.
38:39Up and under that one.
38:41Picked it up on the half volley.
38:42Hit it on the rise.
38:43No one down in the long on area.
38:45And that seems a little strange, really, at this stage of the game.
38:52Full pitch.
38:54Whipped away.
38:55That'll beat Yardav.
38:56It does.
38:58Four more.
39:01Well, Kapil Dev would be very cross with Chet and Sharma.
39:04And you see Kapil Dev walking across.
39:07My goodness.
39:10I don't know.
39:11It's not a great deal he can say.
39:13He knows that he's bowled the wrong thing.
39:15A full toss on the leg stump to a batsman.
39:18A tail-in batsman.
39:20Isn't that the bowler?
39:20That's money for jam, really.
39:26There it goes again.
39:27That'll make a 12 off the over.
39:29Craig McDermott bringing the home crowd to their feet.
39:3212 off the over.
39:34And 12 runs for victory.
39:43Nicely clipped away off the toes by McDermott.
39:47Showing pretty good form on the back.
39:50And a lot of common sense, too.
40:01Craig McDermott does it with a boundary
40:03and in very convincing fashion.
40:06A terrific victory to Australia.
40:09That'll give them a lot of confidence.
40:11They bowled extremely well this morning.
40:14And they've batted very well in getting the runs.
40:19Craig Matthews, not too happy about the crowd rushing onto the ground.
40:24In fact, one of them's grabbed Craig McDermott's hat and shot through with it.
40:30A good victory to Australia.
40:32And here with a wrap-up is Richie Benno.
40:36Well, that was a very good victory, but final total of six for 164 doesn't quite give an indication
40:42of how tense the whole match was.
40:44The best performance there from Steve Waugh, 40, and Greg Matthews, 46.
40:49Fixed their partnership, 79 in 24 overs.
40:52And Craig McDermott coming in at the end, 24 from just 21 balls.
40:56The bowling figures for India.
40:58The best of the bowlers was Binney, not just because he took the wickets,
41:01but because he bowled good outswingers and kept the pressure on the batsmen.
41:05Chetan Sharma, two for 28.
41:06He had the misfortune to miss that lofted drive in the outfield
41:09when he was battling away with Vensaka to decide which of them would go for the catch.
41:14He's had two for 28.
41:15Shastri and Yardav, 17 overs between them and only 47 runs off their bowling.
41:21That is a very fine performance.
41:23Well, a good win.
41:24And Tony Gregg now is down in the presentation area with the two captains,
41:28the man of the match, and lots and lots of people.
41:31Thank you, Richie.
41:32Well, once again, the Australian Cricket Board have allocated $5,000
41:35out of their Benson Hedges Kitty for this match.
41:37And Alan Borda, a very happy Alan Borda today.
41:39Your $3,000, a tremendous performance, especially with the ball.
41:43Well, the bowlers set it up for us.
41:45That was a fantastic effort.
41:46I thought the fielding was superb.
41:49We let ourselves get in a bit of pressure with the bat,
41:52but, you know, a win's a win,
41:53and I was very, very happy with the way we went about today's game.
41:56Very well played.
41:57Good luck against the New Zealand.
41:58Thanks very much.
41:59Right, well, Kapil Dev has taken away the $1,500.
42:03Bad luck.
42:04You gave them a bit of a fright at the end.
42:06Well, we tried hard enough.
42:08The total wasn't good enough for the match.
42:10Anyway, we played well, and they played much better than us.
42:13They won the match.
42:14Bad luck.
42:15And the man of the match, well, this Benson Hedges Gold Goblet,
42:19and the $500, none other than Greg Matthews.
42:23Congratulations.
42:24Well played.
42:25It's all yours.
42:26Thanks very much.
42:26They don't give you a bowl.
42:28There's no way in the world you're not going to score runs.
42:30Yeah, I was very fortunate to be able to have such a long innings
42:33because we lost a few early wickets,
42:35and I seemed to go okay here, and I was really happy that, you know, we won.
42:39Everyone.
42:39The bowlers did a fantastic job.
42:41The fieldsmen did a fantastic job.
42:43Steve Ward did a great job,
42:44and then Billy at the end to hit those four.
42:47Sorry, Craig.
42:48You know, great team effort.
42:50Congratulations.
42:50Very well played.
42:52All right.
42:52That's all from the very noisy down here area.
42:55Back to your wish.
42:58I think he's headed back to the commentary box.
43:00I'm not quite sure, but certainly there's plenty of noise down there,
43:03and Greg Matthews deserved every little bit of it.
43:06Points table at the moment shows that Australia have three points,
43:10India two, and New Zealand one.
43:12It's goodnight.
43:13It's goodnight.
