All Stars Taking Early Advantage All stars have taken early advantage by dismissing Hayden for a golden duck and Ponting for just 1 run. Shezad bowled Hayden with a beautiful full length delivery. Ponting was gone by giving an edge on an out swinger by Pak Cricketer and Taibu took a fantastic diving catch behind the stumps. Lets see how All Stars build up on this good start. Australia 1/2

These are the Australian scorecard and All Stars bowling
Martyn and Langer both Leave Martyn was runout just shot of his fifty on 48. It was the result of a wrong call from Langer.
Next to go was Langer himself. Pak cricketer bowled a good out swinging delivery which was right on target leaving Australia on just 116 for 4. Next man in is dangerous A.Gilchrist. Australia would now have lots of hope with him and B.Hodge who is already on the pitch. Before getting out Langer completed his fifty.
Nitesh And Shezad triggered a Batting Collapse The leg spinner Nitesh Hemlani from Zimbabwe and Fast bowler Shezad from Pakistan triggered a batting collapse which result in Australia all out for 171 giving All Stars a lead of 68 runs.
After Tea when Nitesh Hemlani was first introduced Australia were in good position at 91/2. But by mixing his legies and googlies with slow balls he sent Australian batsmans back to dressing room one after the other.
First to go was A.Gilchrist who was LBW trying to guide the ball to leg side for a single.
Second was A.Symonds who misjudged a slow ball and end playing ball onto his stumps leaving Australia on 133/6.
Third one was B.Hodge who was looking dangerous. He was clean bowled by Nitesh.
Next to leave was S.Warne who edged a ball from Shezad to first slip where Umer took a simple catch. Australia in deep trouble at 155/8
Shezad's third victim was his rival B.Lee who received a golden duck. He edged one to Umer in slips where he took another catch.
Nitesh's fourth victim and last to go was S.Tait who was attacking the bowlers. He was bowled trying to smash Nitesh out of ground.
Australia all out for 171. Not a good score on a pitch like this and after getting to a good position at 91/2.
