firstly, the aussies started off with a flyer. both hayden an langer hitting the pace bowlers to all parts. however, langer played a ball straight to cover and the result a suicidal runout for 18. the intro. of slow left armer jimmy adams did the trick against hayden paddin up to one goin on straight, he went for a cameo 41. at 87/2 martin love and ponting tries to steady the ship only for love to pad up to adams for 7. so the windies came back strong at lunch 92/3. tino best started off immediately after lunch pickin up martyn an gilchrist for a duck again both paddin up instead of palying a stroke, within 3 overs and the aussies were straglin at 150 for 5. lawson then bowled hogg with a beauty of a yorker so that stood at 150/6. however ponting played a captain's innings after drivin collins for 4 to reach his 50. however lara introduced gayle, probably a bit too late into the attack, but the trick was complete as ponting, seein wickets tumblin around jumped out to one which completely beat him and was stumped for 50. however shane warne and gillespie have put the shutters up on the end of the 1st days play at 195/7. warne unbeaten on 24, well supported by gillespie on 12.
