Post Match Analysis - Ian Healy
Healy - Welcome back to the ground here in Harare, another comfortable win by Australia, very well lead by Andrew Symonds. With me down here i have Ricky Ponting and Tatenda Taibu. If i could just speak with Tatenda firstly, Tatenda, its very hard to beat this team isn it?
Taibu - It is. Again we bowled well but unfortunatly we just didnt have enough runs on the board. Heath lead very well for us but we would have liked 250/260 here and 215 was never going to be enough. But i think the last few times that we have played australia we have showed some holes in the team. Dont be surprised if someone exploits that soon.
Healy - What holes are you refferring to particularly?
Taibu - I think the top order is under real pressure at the moment. I think if a team with some real bowling depth cracked the middle order, particularly Clarke, then they can go on to win a match against this team.
Healy - Thank you very much Tatenda. Now to Ricky Ponting, Ricky what do you have to say about those comments?
Ponting - Unfortunatly they are correct Heals. Our top order is under pressure at the moment. That can mean two things, one it may mean that we can get rolled and lose or it may mean that they all fire and we turn out to be very very strong. Fingers crossed it will be the last one.
Healy - Well i sense that alot of the attention is placed on the India test next week?
Ponting - I would be lieing if i said no Heals. Its definatly weighing strongly on our minds.
Healy - Having said that, do you think there will be any changes to the team? Obviously a few of the boys are under strong pressure at the moment?
Ponting - Well it will be really dependent on what type of pitch is prepared in Kolkata. If its a real dustbowl we may look to make a few changes.
Healy - Do you think it will be a very turning wicket Punter? Australia havent played that well on turning pitches in india.
Ponting - I think so heals. We have played very well against pakistan and sri lanka in the past but india not so much. However having said that while a dusty wicket will suit their spinners we will also have warne, mcgill and hogg to choose from so that may come to benefit us.
Healy - Thanks very much ricky. All the best for the indian game. Now to our man of the match decision and without a question it goes to the matchwinner for australia, andrew symonds. Andrew congratulations, your first big score of the season.
Symonds - Yes thanks heals. Definatly good to get off to a running start. Unfrotunatly i was run out in South africa early but i felt really good today and was hitting the ball really well.
Healy - You sure were. Now Andrew do you hold a hope out for the test team if they choose to put another spinner in the team?
Symonds - I havent really thought about it Heals. Obviously that would be great but we have some really good bowlers and batsmen out there in this squad. I dont think i would be a strong chance of a place in the team but if i did i would definatly love the opportunity.
Healy - Well best of luck with it all and congratulations on todays peformance. Well done mate. Well there we have it from Harare, be sure to come watch our telecast from Eden Gardens India next week. Good night.

which patch sai? Only because there are so many. I had a look on tutsis thread and it said he has another one coming out. Should i use that one? Would you be able to post the file which will be best for the india v australia match. I really want to bat and bowl the whole match. Rather than have to autoplay the bowling. Thanks mate

hey guys. as is happened with the south africa match. unfortunatly i have stuffed up the fixtues. australia have to play new zealand in a one dayer in melbourne now and THEN india in india. this does provide me with a good opportunity to wait until tutsis new 8 patch comes out. which sai recommends for this game. so bear with me, im as eager as you guys are. ill finish the kiwi match then on to eden gardens
