Camps           7-0-28-1 (1nb)
Halsey          8-1-22-3
0.2 Hoy to Gilchrist, one run, stoutly driven past mid off, well stopped and just a single
0.3 Hoy to Katich, OUT, my word! Katich gone already, it's not been a good Cup for him...attempts the same shot but it's a bottom edge which Dauth holds on to, one down for one!

Code:
SM Katich c Dauth b Hoy 0 (1b)
Score: 1/1
0.4 Hoy to Ponting, two runs, nicely off the mark, we know what these two are capable of, double ton partnership v India a couple of days ago
0.6 Hoy to Gilchrist, no run, beaten outside off, end of a fine over
2.4 Hoy to Ponting, FOUR, first boundary, a bit short outside the off and a square cut from Ponting flies through the packed off side field, nothing to do there
3.3 Patrick to Gilchrist, wide, uh oh, swings all too much and goes away from the batsman, umpire calls wide despite Chaulk taking the ball, sloppy bowling and an extra conceded
4.2 Hoy to Ponting, three runs, driven on the leg side, a good start being thrown away here
7.4 Patrick to Gilchrist, no ball, simple overstepping, more extras haunting CW
8.3 Hoy to Ponting, OUT, huge wicket! inswinger on middle stump, Ponting looks to drive on the off side, top edge goes over Hoy and away in the outfield, but Patrick at long off runs in spectacularly and holds the catch, the seam bowlers collaborate, CW take the wicket at a key time

Code:
RT Ponting c Patrick b Hoy 24 (22b, 1x4)
Score: 47/2
Exciting early overs here...

10.1 Hoy to Martyn, OUT, stunning! Hoy bowls a quick delivery a bit outside the off stump, attempted drive from Martyn, inside edge crashes into middle stump, Hoy has his third!

Code:
NS Hoy b Martyn 2 (8b)
Score: 53/2
10.2 Hoy to Clarke, one run, near reprise! another beautiful delivery outside off and swinging in, nabs the inside edge and goes just past leg stump, beats Chaulk and goes away for a single. Surely not the way Clarke wanted to get off the mark!
11.3 Patrick to Gilchrist, three runs, relieves some pressure with a fine pull shot, stopped in the deep by Pickup
12.6 Hoy to Gilchrist, one run, avoids the maiden with a dab down to backward point.
13.0 Pickup on for Patrick. Spinners really early on here...
14.3 Hoy to Clarke, two runs, that was visibly slower, this eight-over spell has cost them somewhat, still, got three vital wickets out of it
15.3 Pickup to Gilchrist, four wides, horrible googly, pitched that one all wrong and it sails down the leg side, beating everyone and four wides
16.0 Camps on for Hoy.
16.3 Camps to Gilchrist, FOUR, fine drive into the off side, Australia continue to attack here
17.5 Pickup to Gilchrist, three runs, ball stops in the outfield, fine shot and really should have been four
23.0 Halsey on for Pickup. Australia have steadily been taking runs so far, and these bowlers haven't been quite able to exploit it.
23.3 Halsey to Gilchrist, OUT, classic! dares to pitch a classic leg break on leg stump, should really have been swept away and Gilchrist tried just that, bounces over the bat and into off stump, Halsey has a wicket inside three balls!

Code:
AC Gilchrist b Halsey 46 (80b, 1x4)
Score: 105/4
23.5 Halsey to Hussey, two runs, off the mark with a cover drive.
24.5 Camps to Hussey, OUT, and we're beginning to see the tail! slower ball from Camps, drive misjudged and it flies up to Halsey, CW have made the most of these conditions

Code:
MEK Hussey c Halsey b Camps 4 (7b)
Score: 110/5
25.4 Halsey to Clarke, OUT, we're witnessing a collapse! pitched on off stump this time, Clarke tries the gentle dribble down to third man but instead the ball diverts into the gloves of a diving Chaulk, magnificent catch and Australia are looking down and out!

Code:
MJ Clarke c Chaulk b Halsey 27 (34b)
Score: 114/6
It'll take a magnificent batting effort from Lee to turn this around...

25.6 Halsey to Lee, no run, that's close! googly from Halsey hits Lee on the pads, there's a huge appeal all round, umpire says no out of pity
27.4 Halsey to Lee, FOUR, big shot, straight drive that easily goes all the way, Lee fighting back here
27.5 Halsey to Lee, three runs, and again! this time pitched a bit short from Halsey, but same result, except that Lee doesn't contact as well and it's just three
28.5 Camps to Symonds, no ball, FOUR, pull shot from Symonds to a full delivery from Camps, overstepped by a mile there
29.4 Halsey to Lee, OUT, and the game turns again! Just as these two were regaining some composure, Lee takes a suicidal single to mid on, big mix-up and Gilchrist doesn't even know he's running, Lee stranded and it's a simple run out throw from Goff

Code:
B Lee run out (Goff) 9 (12b, 1x4)
Score: 135/7
29.6 Halsey to Gillespie, no run, beaten outside fof and that's a maiden over completed
30.0 Pickup back on for Camps, double leg spin here now
32.3 Pickup to Symonds, OUT, that's the last batsman! inside edge to a textbook leg break, fine delivery but a rather poor shot in the situation, how are Australia going to defend this...

Code:
A Symonds b Pickup 15 (22b, 1x4)
Score: 141/8
32.6 Pickup to Bracken, no run, beaten again, another maiden over
33.4 Halsey to Gillespie, dabbed down the leg side for a single
34.5 Pickup to Bracken, no run, dropped! drive goes straight to Patrick at silly mid off, he fumbles, ball drops down on the ground, they've missed their chance of rounding this off...
35.1 Halsey to Gillespie, OUT, or not! master of defence is bowled! cracking delivery, straight and didn't turn much, but Gillespie never expected the slider, clean bowled!

Code:
JN Gillespie b Halsey 4 (19b)
Score: 143/9
35.6 Halsey to Tait, one run, off the mark with an inside edge
36.0 Hoy back. Time to bounce 'em out.
36.2 Hoy to Tait, three runs, short and he hoiks, makes contact and it's an easy three, well hit by Tait
36.6 Hoy to Tait, three runs, still short of a length but not quite a bouncer, Tait hoiks again and scores more runs, onto 7
38.1 Hoy to Bracken, three runs, not been successful so far...this one wide outside the off stump and smashed for three
38.6 Hoy to Tait, OUT, all forgiven! yorker, Tait attempts the pull shot, nowhere near and that's the fifth man bowled in this innings, a testament to a largely stunning bowling performance, Australia all out for 158!!

Code:
SW Tait b Hoy 9 (18b)
Score: 158 ao

0.0 It's been a rout from the very start here at Wellington, as Australia have succumbed to a meagre 158. Now, can their bowlers pull something similarly spectacular out of the hat?
0.1 Lee to Markus, no run, certainly trying, blitz-quick delivery outside off stump, 98mph, Markus does right to leave that one alone!
0.5 Lee to Markus, one run, single to get off the mark, been hostile bowling from Lee so far, just what Australia need
2.5 Lee to Markus, three runs, short, pulled away, makes good contact and the ball rolls calmly away for three runs, one of those an over and CW ought to make it
3.1 Bracken to Camps, FOUR, first boundary, a fine cover drive without any extravagance
5.1 Bracken to Camps, three runs, keeping it trickling here, it is actually a more difficult pitch than we thought and the ball is hopping this way and that, Camps and Markus doing well against tricky bowling
6.6 Lee to Camps, no ball, FOUR, thanks! that's a gift, full, widish, and a no-ball, Camps cuts square for some of the easiest four runs he's seen, nine off the over so far...
9.1 Bracken to Markus, FOUR, cheeky leg glance that can't be stopped, another boundary
9.6 Bracken to Camps, OUT, well it had to happen! lovely delivery on off stump and swinging away plenty, Camps gets the outside edge which goes to Katich at mid off, but still a crucial opening stand of 49

Code:
LA Camps c Katich b Bracken 29 (35b, 2x4)
Score: 49/1
10.0 Tait on for Lee. Now there's a gamble...
10.1 Tait to Markus, three runs, doesn't really pay off, strays on the pads and Markus pulls for three easy runs
10.3 Tait to Goff, one run, outside off, dabs down past backward point, a quick single easily taken
14.1 Tait to Goff, OUT, oh dear! too brief innings that! Tait serves up a short one outside the off stump, Goff only gets glove on it as it passes through to Gilchrist, there was a huge appeal but the umpire still pondered that one, rare failure for the CW captain

Code:
BJ Goff c Gilchrist b Tait 14 (16b)
Score: 68/2
14.3 Tait to Butler, one run, full, driven away, only the single on offer
16.1 Tait to Butler, OUT, Tait strikes again! This is why they selected him! Full, fast, driven away but straight to Katich who holds his second catch of this match, which isn't quite over yet!

Code:
CR Butler c Katich b Tait 5 (6b)
Score: 76/3
16.6 Tait to Dauth, OUT, collapse!! Dauth calls for a run to his Red partner, Markus does a good impression of a statue in his crease, throw comes in from Martyn to run out the striker, game on!

Code:
RJ Dauth run out (Martyn) 1 (4b)
Score: 78/4
18.5 Tait to Markus, no run, rips past his pads, massive appeal, looked a bit too high however
19.5 Gillespie to Markus, OUT, not the man they wanted to lose! Markus hasn't looked very confident out here today, now he's clean bowled by Gillespie, at this stage of the game Australia were 88 for three, CW are now 88 for 5...

Code:
I Markus b Gillespie 33 (53b, 1x4)
Score: 88/5
20.0 Chaulk and Robbins are here to see this out now. 71 required in 30 overs, but only five wickets in hand. A crucial stage of the game, this.
20.6 Tait to Chaulk, no run, leaves that one alone outside the off stump. This is turning into a Test match.
21.2 Gillespie to Robbins, three runs, shot! a bit of width offered outside the off stump, Robbins drives and gets three for it, crucial runs
21.5 Gillespie to Chaulk, three runs, and again, Chaulk plays a similar shot to a slower ball from Gillespie, gets away with it and indeed scores three runs
22.6 Tait to Robbins, FOUR, placement! right between the two fielders at mid off and point, Australia are finally paying for their crowded field, as Tait bowls a widish delivery
24.6 Tait to Chaulk, three runs, Tait not running in as quickly now, that was his eighth over and it's clearly costing, Chaulk pulls easily for three, required run rate falls below two an over,
25.6 Gillespie to Chaulk, OUT, not over yet this! partnership has posted 28 and looked very confident, but now Chaulk makes a big hoik and it ends up in the hands of Hussey at backward square, magnificent catch but CW aren't going to be very pleased with this. 43 needed, four wickets in hand...

Code:
AP Chaulk c Hussey b Gillespie 13 (22b)
Score: 116/6
26.0 Symonds on for Tait.
26.5 Symonds to Robbins, no run, Robbins riding his luck there, padding up just outside the off stump, umpire lets him off despite massive appeals from all around
27.2 Gillespie to Halsey, wide, down the leg side, CW thankful for every run at present
28.6 Symonds to Robbins, FOUR, boundary!! huge cheers all round as Robbins charges Symonds and drives him straight for four, cheeky shot at this stage of the game, 30 needed to win
29.0 Lee back on for Gillespie, who is looking a bit worn
29.3 Lee to Halsey, no run, beaten outside off stump again, awful attempt at a shot
30.6 Symonds to Halsey, one run, takes the single and gets on strike to Lee again...
31.5 Lee to Halsey, one run, finally off the strike, single to midwicket
33.0 Tait back on again.
34.0 And now Gillespie. There's been slow scoring at present, but it's exactly what CW XI need. 14 required. Field brought in...
34.1 Gillespie to Robbins, wide, down the leg side, exactly what Australia didn't need
34.1 Gillespie to Robbins, FOUR, biffed through the off side and the ball bounces through the covers, four valuable runs, CW look to be prevailing
34.5 Gillespie to Halsey, three runs, Halsey joining in on the fun now, just five needed to win.
35.2 Tait to Halsey, wide, Australia are giving up it seems, another one tossed down the leg side
35.5 Tait to Robbins, one run, single, the batsmen are elated, they've put on a vital 43 to finally secure this match for CW XI, who go top of the Super Eights after having played four matches, the semi-finals are looking close!

CW XI win by four wickets
Man of the Match: Marc Robbins
