I think is Ian Haley or is it bill lorry it's mark how is a beautiful Victorian day here the Australian team be looking to get the board onto the front foot against these great West Indian quits today another one all right that is that is that Stanley this of course is Mark Taylor as it max Walker thanks very much there Marcus yes it's a beautiful day here and a big thank you to Ian Chapel for the loan of his trip today okay very good James brace or Richey is it oh good morning mark and morning
everyone in there don't the boys look absolutely marvelous they do how about you Witcher Pelle yeah smashing that great to be here 50 over cricket I think we're gonna see a lot of back foot play and hook shots and Tony Greig plays himself he yes the coffee walk is full and we gonna see some carnage today and we've got the two captains who have kindly come with Dennis Lillee headbands on to take us back to the mid seventies on a more serious note fellas good luck today a Michael Clarke is leading Australia and has got
the coins Andrew Strauss has won the toss yeah we have Matt looks like a wicked a nice day obviously a good opportunity for a skier decent sized score on the board and then defend it in this evening did you keep your eye on those 2020 games yeah absolutely I was here for the second one you know some good create play by both sides no real advantage heading into this one-day series but we got seven games here and I think it's crucial for both sides the off to a good start yeah particularly in the lead-up to
the World Cup I guess yeah absolutely everyone's trying to finalize their plans for the World Cup obviously conditions here is slightly different but best way to head to the World Cup is with a few victories under your belt and we're certainly out here to win the series you're short to front line fastball as james anderson resting and Stuart Broad injured what have you done yeah Tremlett comes in and Shahzad is in alongside Bresnan so those are three Seema's and we've still got the two spinners playing Paul Collin was missing out Johnson trot comes back in
for the 50 over virgin do you ever wear Flair's we've got a flair on here but it's not quite as pronounced as yours Marc I'm gonna say good luck today thank you very much you wouldn't know a thing about butterfly colors and big lapels would you oh no no much I know looks better than normal though her knees looking sharp I would have liked to about it first I think the wicket we've seen the other night looks pretty similar to the 2020 peach I think it's gonna be a little bit slow there might be a
bit of spin batting second but you know I'm confident we come out here in ball war we can chase whatever England anyone get and you've chosen to leave Sean Tate out but play Michie and dougie Bollinger as well is is that right yeah sure ones backs a little bit Steve brought up a little bit stiff but it's more precaution than it than anything else gives dougie a good opportunity and bred an opportunity good to have you back in the one day team and now Ricky is out for all seven games I think that certain say
you have the side for that period of time that's a great opportunity for you I would think it is mark yeah look I think obviously Ricky will be around the team at some stage and I send his finger yesterday and it doesn't look great but hopefully you can get back to the back end of this series but if not I'm certain you'll be right for the World Cup so we'd like to place include cricket here get a few wins under our build and take some momentum into the World Cup you're either number one team in
the world we are mark we're looking for were to getting out here and shell on that tonight beautiful thanks for your time Michael now let's have a look at to the two teams with Michael Slater and James brazier who have got their own thought [Music]
