Match Three
England v Australia (20 over match) Brisbane

Conditions: Green pitch, cloudy, humid

Benaud: Afternoon everyone from Brisbane to the final match in the group stage of the outside edge tour. It is England against Australia, and should be the best match so far. I am joined by Skateboarder once again.
Skateboarder: Thanks Richie. This match will definetely be a ripper considering their respective performances against Bangladesh. Now to Mark Nicholas with captains.
Nicholas: Cheers Skateboarder. This is a green pitch, it should swing, there's cloudy conditions and it's quite humid here. Here we go with the toss.
Ponting: Tails.
Nicholas: Well done Ricky, you've won the toss. What are you going to choose?
Ponting: I'll have a bowl. The pitch looks good for swing and we have Pigeon so that's always a good thing.
Nicholas: Michael, what do you think?
Vaughan: I would have liked to have had a bowl but we'll see how it goes.
Nicholas: Back to you Richie.

Match Four: The Final
England v Australia (20 over match) Sydney

Conditions: Damp pitch, cloudy, mild

Benaud: Good afternoon from Sydney to all our viewers to the final match of the outside edge tour. It will be played between England and Australia, and should be a ripper of a contest. And I am joined by the one and only Geoffrey Boycott.
Boycott: Thanks Richie. This match will certainly test Australia considering that they lost to England in the last match. We now go down to Skateboarder where he joins the captains.
Skateboarder: Thanks Geoffrey. By the look of this, it is a damp pitch, cloudy conditions and it is pretty mild down here. Let's toss the coin.
Ponting: Heads.
Skateboarder: It looks like you won the toss Michael. What are you going to choose?
Vaughan: I'll have a bowl Skateboarder. It looks like a slow pitch and if we get them all out cheaply, we will have a chance.
Skateboarder: And, Ricky, what do you think mate?
Ponting: Well, I think we can get a good total on the board and put England under some pressure.
Skateboarder: Back to you Richie.
Benaud: Thanks Skateboarder. Now we will go down to the start of play...
