AUSTRALIANS won by 272 RUNS

Not sure what the format of this match was. I'd been expecting a 55 over match
but the declaration would seem to count against this.

        Apparently Border hit the first five balls of an over for six, before
only getting 2 off the last over. I also believe Border's second fifty came off
only 18 balls. If he hadn't got out he might have scored 200 before the end of
the 55 overs :-)

        It was. Border simply declared anyway. (presumably the playing condition
prohibiting declarations in the English domestic one day competitions
didn't apply here).

Even without reading his email address, I could have guessed this bloke was
Western Australian :-)

Seriously, are you suggesting the Aussies play Zoehrer?  As a bowler, or
wicketkeeper, or both?  If bowler, do they drop Warne, or bowl two leggies?
(Wouldn't *that* be worth watching!)  If wicketkeeper, do they drop Healy?
(Incidentally, Waugh *did* score more than Zoehrer that game ;-)

If Waugh is dropped, the tail grows (okay, Zoehrer's no bunny, but he's
certainly no Waugh!).  If the rest of the team stays as it is, Zoehrer
could find himself batting at 11 (it's a *long* batting lineup!)
