MATCH REPORT
Darren Berry won the toss and elected to field opn what looked like a good pitch for batting and bowling. His openers had the perfect start, with Michael Lewis claiming the wicket of the dangerous Brad Haddin in the last ball of his first over. Katich was in an attacking mood getting 16 off 11 balls before falling victim to Matthew Inness, and his seam bowling. The two Waugh brothers were sent in, and the score was at 2/16. Mark Waugh's first ball was dispatched over cover for a huge six. But Steve Waugh's first ball was edged to the third slip position for 4 runs. Mark continued getting quick runs while Steve had little conviviction in his shots getting 3 of his 4 boundaries of edges. He was finally dismissed after a 48 run partnership with his brother for 21 trying to go for a second run. Clarke was the next in and didnt't waste any time getting his eye in slashing at a wide ball and hitting it through point. He was later run out by Mark Waugh who wanted to take a quick single behind point for 17 runs. Bevan was out the first ball he faced trying to hit an overpitched delivery over mid on, but unsuccefully skying it to Jon Moss. Lee was next in and in an attackin mood. He made 5 runs till he decided to charge Warne, he did this unsuccesfully scooping it right back Warne, who took an easy catch. Wickets kept on tumbling this time with Mark Waugh, he played a cover drive on an outswinging delivery which he edged to Gully. They were at this stage 7/112. They lost 2 more wicket of Bracken and MacGill on this score. Some late hitting from McGrath got the score to 121 all out. Warne was the star of the bowling attack with figures of 3/12 off 4.4 overs.
The target NSW set would be a pretty easy target to get, and the Victorian openers didn't have any trouble, hitting the ball right off the middle of the bat from ball one. Elliot was in great form, hitting to all parts of the ground. Him and Moss set a good first wicket partnership of 61 runs till Brett Lee got the first breakthrough, with the wicket of Jon Moss for 25. Brad Hodge and Ian Harvey fell in sucsession when the score was at 77. Then 16 runs later Elliot was sent to the pavilion run out for 57. But in the end some smart batting from David Hussey and Graeme Rummans got Victoria over the line for an easy 6 wicket win. The standouts in this innings were: Stuart Clark with figures of 2/6 off 2 overs, and Matthew Elliot with a score of 57 (47). The "Man of the Match" was awarded to Shane Warne with his bowling performance. Victoria now face Queensland at the MCG for their second ING Cup match.
