Can the Aussie cricketers win the day?

Howzat!


With the green cricket ground surrounding me and brown pitch before me; the crowd falls silent.

One more wicket; I wipe sweat from my brow.

I run up.  Release the ball, feel it leaving my fingers.  Hear the leather smack the willow.  The ball spins up into the air and is caught. 

"Out!"

Australia wins!

WC:55

Won 1st Place in Round 25.
