Lunch Day 1: 2/104
And it will be Brett Lee to start us off, bowling to Thamba Mamesh...
0.1 Lee to Mamesh: pitched up and driven away past midoff, great shot to start. They take one, back for two, and a comfortable third. The CW XI are underway!

0.3 Lee to Mørk: pushed into the offside and they steal a quick single. Mørk is off the mark.

0.4 Lee to Mamesh: FLASHING! TAKEN!!! Martyn takes a smart catch at 4th slip and the Australians are through! Not a particularly clever shot by Mamesh there. Inexperience and attacking nature showing. Lee pumps his fist.
Code: 
T Mamesh		c Martyn b Lee		[B]3 (2)[/B]
0.6 Lee to Goff: SHORT and QUICK! Mistimed pull shot from Goff, but he'll get two for it.

1.4 Lee to Mørk: Square cut... that'll find the ropes... FOUR! First boundary of the morning.

7.1 Gillespie to Goff: Firm push. They've gone up for it. He's given it! Bucknore thought about it and he's given him. There was a noise there. Big wicket!
Code: 
BJ Goff		c Gilchrist b Gillespie	[B]12 (16)[/B]
Stuart Clark replaces Brett Lee in the attack. He'll start off bowling to Andrew Cloete on 1... 4 slips and a gully...
8.1 Clark to Cloete: Short and left alone outside offstump.

11.4 Gillespie to Cloete: BOUNCER! Hooked away! That's a bold shot and he played it superbly for FOUR!
11.6 Gillespie to Cloete: Now onto the front foot and driving square... he's beaten Watson... FOUR more!

13.4 Gillespie to Cloete: Flicked off the legs to perfection. That will race away to the ropes.

Brett Lee returns to the attack, replacing Jason Gillespie (7-1-24-1) at the Southern End...
15.1 Lee to Cloete: pushed straight and it beats midon... they're back for two...

Now with 18 overs gone, we'll see the first sign of spin. The great man, Shane Warne prepares to enter the attack. This should be interesting...
18.1 Warne to Mørk: paddled around to the sweeper behind square... a single.

18.5 Warne to Cloete: back for the cut, and DROPPED! Difficult chance to Gilchrist, but he should be taking those at this level.
18.6 Warne to Cloete: dancing down the track and taking the ball on the full... hit through midwicket... that's FOUR!

Double change here, as Watson starts from the opposite end.

21.1 Watson to Cloete: short and wide and CRACKED away for FOUR!
21.2 Watson to Cloete: and again! FOUR more! Just feeding him runs at the moment, Watson.

21.6 Watson to Cloete: turned behind square for a single. Fifty for Cloete. Superb knock.

AP Cloete 50 (49 balls), 8 fours, 0 sixes

Warne to continue after lunch...
28.1 Warne to Cloete: flighted and defended back down the track.

Brett Lee is back for his third spell. This will probably just be a quick burst.
29.6 Lee to Mørk: he's gone up for it... GIVEN!!! The breakthrough for Australia, and Lee is the man.

Code: 
H Mørk			lbw b Lee	[B]31 (92)[/B]
34.3 Warne to Cloete: punched off the backfoot and it beats Ponting at short extra cover... FOUR!
34.5 Warne to Cloete: short again! Pulled away! Great shot for FOUR!
34.6 Warne to Cloete: flighted and SWEPT square! That's a superb shot! Third FOUR of the over!

35.4 Lee to Cloete: cut away over the slips and it's fine enough for FOUR!
35.5 Lee to Cloete: slower one! He pushed it back at Lee, but he DROPPED the relatively simple chance. Big miss!

43.2 Clark to Cloete: PULLED away! FOUR runs. That was off like a shot! He's onto 90...
43.3 Clark to Cloete: Driven sweetly through the covers! FOUR more! Nervous 90s, anyone?

44.5 Warne to Cloete: spins through him - BOWLED! The perfectly pitched legbreak, and Cloete played right across it. He's lost his offbail. Warne strikes!

Code: 
AP Cloete			b Warne		[B]96 (124)[/B]

Hm. Bit of a balance position here, shame I had to give away my wicket when set. :(

Aye, you'd done the hard yards. Although supported Cloete well, and can't say you didn't do your job.
