Great scenes here at the MCG. The hundreds of Cricket Web fans who made the trip from CWLand have not been disappointed. They've seen their team push Australia in every Test match, and end up with the prize of Test victory.

A 1-1 series result perhaps accurately reflects the competition throughout. Australia may have finished the first two Tests on top, but the heart and valour with which the tourists played their cricket certainly left a mark.

Brendan Goff's mighty innings of 170 turned this game forcefully for the Webheads, and despite the resilience of Gilchrist the second time around, the Australians couldn't muster enough against a disciplined Cricket Web XI attack.

Thamba Mamesh wasted no time in the chase, and certainly pushes his claim as one of the stars for the future.

Awesome win guys. An inspiration for the young guns in the 'A' team and Under 19s for their upcoming series.

A fantastic drawn series

Welcome to the Telstra Dome for the third and decisive ODI between the Cricket Web XI. Yesterday we saw the tourist humble their Australian hosts to keep the series alive, and we look to see the extent to which Australia will now bounce back.

The intensity will surely be high with two of the best one-day teams facing off against each other. Throw the debut of young Dauth in, and this game is all set to be a classic.

The Pitch: good for batting but with some good bounce for pacers.
The Outfield: fast.
Toss: Australia.

The Australians have elected to bat first once more. They will look to make a statement after the disaster of yesterday.

It will be Nathan Hoy to bowl the first over of the game. He's been really sharp all tour long, but has not yet been rewarded with a big haul of wickets. Perhaps today is his day?

0.1 Hoy to Gilchrist: BEATEN! Good length and a bit of movement and Gilchrist was lucky there.

Xavier Rose will take up the attack from the other end. Much like his bowling partner, Rose has not had the success he has deserved in this series.

1.5 Rose to Katich: that's tailing back in... loud shout! Given not out by the umpire, but that was close!
1.6 Rose to Katich: full and pushed to cover - no run.
And that ends the second consecutive maiden of the innings! Incredible!

2.1 Hoy to Gilchrist: turned off the hip and he scampers a single. The first run of the match!

4.1 Hoy to Katich: too short and thumped away past the diving midwicket for FOUR!
5.4 Rose to Gilchrist: pitched up and driven past midoff. Lovely shot - FOUR!
6.1 Hoy to Gilchrist: BANG! Just a little bit of width and punished! FOUR!
8.6 Hoy to Gilchrist: down the legside and it's beaten Chaulk to go for FOUR! A wide goes to the boundary. Oh dear... Hoy is losing his way here...
9.1 Rose to Katich: full face of the bat and that races through the covers for FOUR!

The hero of yesterday, Camps is into the attack for the struggling Hoy...
10.6 Camps to Katich: played at his feet and a quick single. Good run to break up the maiden over attempt.

14.5 Camps to Katich: leading edge! DROPPED! Neil Pickup has dropped a sitter at midoff. Oh dear..
14.6 Camps to Katich: DRIVEN! DROPPED again! Unbelievable! This one was hit harder but once more straight at him, and Pickup has floored a virtual sitter! Two in two!

And as if scripted, it's Pickup who will replace Rose after a good opening spell. He has a lot to make up for...
15.4 Pickup to Gilchrist: he goes back and... HOWZAT?!? Plumb! Pickup has pulled one back. Misjudged by Gilchrist and the CW XI have broken through.
17.3 Pickup to Katich: he backs away and SMACK! Past point for FOUR! Katich not intent on letting Pickup forget those two drops.
17.5 Pickup to Katich: AGAIN! Too short and punished with the cut shot - FOUR.
