Lee economical, Bracken on fire!

Lee bowled a maiden after Bracken then Bracken went in for his second over of his second spell. Previous over Bracken took the wicket of Collingwood and Giles. This over he bowled a late In-Swinger to the left-hander Simon Jones, the stumps went out of the ground.

Its 8-144 after 37 Overs



BTW: Is Simon Jones a Left-Hander?

End of ENG Innings

Bracken bowled a maiden before Lee finished it off with great fast bowling. Lee bowled over Harmison's middle stump before dismissing Hoggard for a duck off a LBW which didn't even seem to hit his foot. But Hawkeye said it did. Lee was very good, he was the top wicket taker and he was very economical too with figures of 4-7 off 10 Overs, Bracken and Symonds were also good.

Its all out for 145 after 39 Overs

Stats

Summary, Scorecard and Bowling Statistics:

Gilchrist and Katich

Gilchrist and Katich are the One-Day Openers, they are ready and are on the field. Gilchrist is in fine form and so is Katich. Gilchrist, to be safe defended the first ball from Harmison, and then on the second ball hit a fantastic off-drive for 4 runs. Few balls later he hit an edgy four into the third man area.

Its 0-8 after the first over.

Gillie and Katich on a roll!

Gillie and Katich are building a solid partnership with great batting. Katich hit several 4's and most of them were drives.

 

[madmick96]

Gilchrist is now also turning on hitting a four, Katich also hit a 4 too, just stroking it into the gap.

 

[madmick96]

Gilchrist is very good...

Gilchrist has hit the first six of the Australian innings, hit the six over mid-on and going way back into the stands. Gilchrist's next ball was a bouncer and was hooked for another six.

Gillie and Ponting Out

Shortly after Gilchrist got out by mishitting it to point which was then safely caught by Simon Jones. Ponting came in and hit a four before trying to pop it over mid-on and being caught out at mid-on by Trescothick.

Katich's 50

Katich has played very well under pressure after losing the wicket of Ponting, he has also successfully reached his 50 with a four.

 

[madmick96]

In trouble...kind of.

After losing the wicket of Ponting Martyn came in, he had an *edgy* start. He hit a 4 off a thick edge. He then hit a fantastic six over the mid-on area. The next ball he tried the same thing but fell short and got caught by Hoggard in the deep.

 

[Cricket_60]

They need to stop trying to slog.

 

[madmick96]

Katich 50

Katich has reached his 50 after a well fought innings. He then got run-out off a no-ball on 51.

 

[madmick96]

Symonds

After Martyn got dismissed the danger man Andrew Symonds was strangely dismissed by Hoggard with a nice swinging yorker.

 

[madmick96]

Hussey in and Out

Symo got dismissed and now Hussey is in and off the mark with a nice cut for 4 and a few other 4's before getting caught and bowled by Simon Jones. Hussey *accidentally* flicked the ball to him while trying to play straight forward.
