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.

North inured as Victora beat WA.

Marcus North has been injured on a night where not Western Australia were outclassed by Victoria. North's injury isn't too serious and he thinks he should be right for WA's FC match on Tuesday. If he isn't right this may see the Test selectors get easier with Hughes coming back in at opener and Watson moving down to 6.

Victoria scored 5/304 with Brad Hodge smashing another century. WA were bowled out for 213 as Hastings took 4/38.
