Pitch, Weather, Line-Ups and Toss
Richie Beanuad: Hello and welcome to the MCG where Australia will take on South Africa in the finals of the 10 Over Tri-Series Tournament. If one side wins the first two then the third one will not be played. Here with me is Bill Lawry and Mark Nicholas. Bill, who do you think will win today?
Bill Lawry: The Australian side has been good all throughout this tournament. I think they will win today.
Mark Nicholas: I agree with Bill. Australia have out-muscled every team in this tournament. They should get the cash.
RB: Thanks for your views and comments. Let's go down to Tony Grieg with the pitch report.
Tony's Pitch Report
Tony Grieg: Thank you very much Richie. I look at this pitch. It is hard and dry. Batsmen should find it easy scoring runs on this pitch. Bolwers are going to have to work hard if they want to get a rewards. My view is bat first and score around 90-100 runs. Back to you Rich.
RB: Thank you Tony for that. Let's go through the team now, Australia first:
Now for South Africa:
We can now tell you that Australia has won the toss and elected to bat first. We will be back after this short break.
Australia Posts Biggest Score Of The Tournament
Richie Beanuad: Welcome back to the MCG. Where the Australian team has posted the biggest score of the tournament so far and what a time to do it in the first final. I am joined by Tony Grieg, Bill Lawry and Mark Nicholas. Tony, how did you view Australia's performance?
Tony Grieg: It was great. They batted well and used there 10 overs to their best of their ablities. It will be very hard for South Africa to chase this score down.
Bill Lawry: You are right Tony. Australia was ruthless in hitting the South African bowlers to all parts of the grounds. Australia are in the driving seat.
Mark Nicholas: South Africa didn't bowl to the best of there abilities. They really need to perform with the bat now if they want to have a chance of winning this one.
RB: Thanks for all of your views. Let's take a look at some of the scorecards from the innings:
RB: Now that we have looked at those scorecards we are going to go to a break. Will South Africa be able to chase down 121 runs at 12.1 runs per over? Don't go away!
