Warm Up Games

Explosive seventies from Michael Hussey and Andrew Symonds led Australia to a four-wicket victory against New Zealand at Benoni. Chasing 183 to win, the match hung in the balance for a while before Australia stepped up the pace and clinched victory with ten balls to spare.

Australia's chase got off to a terrible start after Shane Bond removed Adam Gilchrist and Matthew Hayden for ducks in the first over. It soon got worse when Brad Hodge fell with the score on 15 but his dismissal brought Hussey and Symonds together and they began Australia's aggressive recovery. Symonds belted 70 off 43 balls with eight fours and two sixes and added 113 with Hussey for the fourth wicket. Hussey accelerated once Symonds was dismissed and scored 72 off 44 balls with four sixes. By the time he was dismissed in the 19th over with Australia on 181, victory was within touching distance.

The most destructive innings of the match, however, came from Craig McMillan's bat. He blasted 60 off only 29 balls from No. 6 and hit five fours and four sixes. His half-century and Ross Taylor's 53 off 39 balls were the only substantial contributions that led New Zealand to 182 for 8. Ben Hilfenhaus bowled an exceptional spell, taking 3 for 11 off three overs. [/quote:1637a]
