Australia beat WI. NZ beat Pakistan.

Australia have beaten West Indies by an innings and 65 runs despite a brilliant debut century by Barath. My pick for MOM is Hilfenhaus, Cricinfo says there will be no qualms if Barath gets it, I disagree. Hilfenhaus took 5 wickets in the match and 2 good outfield catches in the 2nd innings. Hauritz also bowled well and was on hat trick at one stage, as was Watson.

In other news NZ has bowled well at the end to deny Pakistan. Pakistan were 6/195 at one stage chasing 251 but lost their last 4 wickets for 23 to lose by 32 runs. Shane Bond was his usual self taking 8 wickets.

More to come.

New Zealand smash Scotland

New Zealand has hammered an uninspiring Scotland. Scotland were bowled out for 101 in 33.2 overs. Jacob Oram doing the damage with 3/13 off six overs. Mark Gillespie and Daniel Vettori chipped in with 2 wickets each. Mohammed Qasim Sheik top scored for Scotland with 18. In reply New Zealand took just 14.4 overs and lost 2 wickets in knocking off the required runs. Ross Taylor was not out on 61 off 31 balls.

Chappell-Hadlee Series Game 3

Mathew Hayden has blasted the highest score by an Australian in ODI history to lead Australia to 5/346 off their 50 overs in the 3rd and final match of the chappell-hadlee series.
All kinds of records tumbled as Hayden carried his bat to finsih 181 not out. He eclipsed Mark Waugh's 173 in the 2001/01 series to register the highest score by an Australian in ODI history.

Before today the highest by a player from any country in a one-dayer in NZ was 156 by Andrew Symond last year in the Chappell-Hadlee series.

Hayden hit 10 sixes to break the record for most sixes in an innings by an Australian which was 9, set by Ponting last year in that 430 odd score against South Africa. Hayden now sits in 8th place on the all-time list for highest individual score in ODIs.

Hayden's 181 came off just 166 balls with 11 fours and 10 sixes.
Watson chipped in with 68 off 69 balls as the openers put on 122 for the first wicket in 25 overs.

Live: CB Series Game 8 Aus V NZ

Australia won by 8 runs.
Great chase by NZ, led by a brialliant century by Jacob Oram but they fell agonisingly short. England will have to watch out on tuesday.

Australia has won the toss and decided to bat. It's going to be tough work for NZ in the field as it's 40 degrees in Perth at the moment. Australia have made two changes, Nathan Bracken and Glenn McGrath are back in place of Brad Hogg and Stuart Clark. For NZ, Lou Vincent comes in for Nathan Astle who retired from international cricket the other day.

Mathew Hayden and Adam Gilchrist will open the batting for Australia. Gilchrist neede 72 runs to take him to 8600 ODI runs. Hayden needs 62 to take him to 4400.
