Transcript
00:00Good morning everyone, you join us for this 2020 match between Australia and Scotland.
00:23I'm Mike Atherton and with me in the commentary box is Ali Mitchell and the dashing David
00:29Gower.
00:30Thanks Mike.
00:31Always a pleasure to sit alongside you.
00:33I've been down in the middle looking at conditions and I think with this surface there's a little
00:37bit there for batters and bowlers alike.
00:38The ground staff have done a brilliant job.
00:41I'm really interested to see which way the captains go when the coin is tossed.
00:45A lot of cloud around but the forecast says we don't need our umbrellas.
00:49Nice information there from David Gower.
00:52It's time for the toss.
00:54Let's join them pitch side to see who will be batting first.
01:13They'll be looking to extract a little bit extra out of this pitch, bowling at home.
01:25Players look ready.
01:26The umpires are in position for the first ball.
01:28The bowlers will want to focus on their line and lengths and let the ball do the rest.
01:34Not the ideal way of handling that ball.
01:37They've got their timing all wrong.
01:39Nothing to worry about for the first ball of the innings.
01:48They'll get at least one.
01:53There'll be one run here for them.
01:55Scotland get started with one.
01:57I'm extremely excited to see how this match progresses.
02:01Two sides that are really aggressive.
02:03Carroll is new to the crease.
02:05They'll be keen to feel bat on ball early on.
02:17Massive edge.
02:18Misses everyone and that's racing away.
02:24Good precision with the throw back from the deep.
02:27Immediately underway with some runs.
02:32Brilliant bowling.
02:33Having got the edge of the previous ball, they now know the areas they need to be hitting.
02:43Quick on to that in the infield.
02:45No runs on that occasion.
02:46Got into position nicely, just too early on the shot.
02:49Couldn't find a gap.
02:59Just threw the shot too early.
03:19Hit that well off the back foot but couldn't beat the field.
03:23End of the over.
03:24Three off it.
03:26Scotland are three for none.
03:32The left armour is the new bowler from the pavilion end.
03:52Had to pull off the big dive to save some certain runs.
03:55Hit it very well, did the keeper.
04:10Can't get that outside the ring field.
04:25Yep, great shot.
04:31At least one on offer.
04:35Decisive running might have got them two.
04:37Looking back at it, I'd say they'd have made it easily.
04:40So in the end, poor running.
04:56Just running between the wickets, keeping the pads, not the bat though.
05:13Great shot through the gap, perfect timing.
05:18No trouble at all to punch it away to the boundary for four.
05:20A poor delivery.
05:30Getting nicely settled at the crease now.
05:33Would have been really happy with that last shot.
05:41Wow, that's missed a lot.
05:43Misses out there on the short and wide one.
06:00Great shot through the gap.
06:08Forward well and was able to drive the ball.
06:11A lovely shot and good running.
06:13Starr has had a pretty good over.
06:16Just needed a bit more luck to find a wicket.
06:18Hazlewood from the grandstand end.
06:26Straight to the fielder.
06:41Yep, ease through the field.
06:43There'll be runs here.
07:06Misses everything.
07:08A lovely delivery.
07:09Got it in short and surprised them.
07:11They'll be happy.
07:12Only one of those is allowed.
07:23Yep, well placed, should get a single.
07:41Nice shot, runs possible.
07:52A couple on offer here.
07:54Driven off the front foot.
07:55Fantastic cricket shot.
07:57Probably expected more there.
08:10Doesn't beat the infield.
08:12Just threw the shots too early.
08:14Four runs added there.
08:17Scotland are 16 for none.
08:25The right arm fast bowler is coming into the attack
08:29from the pavilion end.
08:41Yep, unplayable, no reward, flying to the boundary.
08:46Nearly got through them.
08:48Just got onto it in time with enough bat speed to pick up four.
08:57Tried for something a bit different, the last ball.
08:59The captain shouldn't mind that.
09:01If they get it right, they might just get the wicket.
09:07Yes, really good shot there.
09:14Got to the boundary, last ball.
09:16Punches it into the gap to get a single.
09:18Excellent batting.
09:32Edged it.
09:36Time to keep the pressure on now.
09:38Great last ball to find the edge.
09:41It's just a case of finding the same spot.
09:47That's hit them and a pace.
09:49Looked painful.
09:51Maybe they didn't pick it up.
09:52Very late on the shot.
09:55A wonderful delivery to get the edge.
09:58You've got to keep hammering away at that spot time and again.
10:06Yep, there'll be runs here.
10:09Good running.
10:13It needed to be as well.
10:15Probably.
