Australia win the match by 6 wickets, and advance to the Super Six West Indies will have to wait and see what degree of flogging New Zealand can give the Scotties tomorrow pretty tedious effort from Australia, but it was all to their advantage and all within the rules don't be surprised if some pathetic reprimand is issued for "unsportsmanslike conduct" by the people who invented the rules Presentations... Waugh attempts a joke about the slow batting, noone laughs, then comes clean and explains the situation honestly Lara: "At teh end of the day we were disappointing today" Man of the Match is Glenn McGrath, he's wearing the compulsory "Fly Emirates" hat hard to bring any quotes sorry, the audio has been consistently awful at all these matches so tomorrow matches are NZ v Scot and Pak v Bdesh, last of the tinpot team games, both scheduled to begin at 0945 GMT

Dillon to Bevan, 1 no ball, shoulder high no ball, normally it's an anti climax to win a match with a no ball, but on this occasion it proves very apt
