Hayden inspired Australia to mammoth win

Apr 20, 2007

A match of not much consquence as both Australia and New Zealand have qualified for the semis. But for fans of both sides it is a chance to watch yet another show of trans-Tasman rivalry•AFP

Franklin to Gilchrist, OUT, Gilchrist is gone! Caught at third man. Short and wide, he has biffed them for sixes before, he goes back and across, frees his arms and it flies off a thick edge straight to Mark Gillespie. Franklin has a sheepish smile on him•AFP

His 96-ball century was the 100th hundred of World Cups•Getty Images

Franklin to Clarke, OUT, OMG! Clarke shoulders arms and hey presto! the middle stump has gone for a walk. Unbelievable! Comedy of errors. It was a slower one, on the middle, Clarke backed away, raised his bat and then was indecisive what to with the delivery. He just let the bat hang high and watched in horror his own demise. It went through straight•Getty Images

Tait to Fleming, OUT, gets him with a bouncer. Fleming is not happy. Banged in short, on the middle and off, Fleming tries to pull off the front foot, the ball bounces more than he anticipated, and thudded into his left arm before bobbing away to Ponting at second slip•Getty Images

Patel to Ponting, FOUR, beaten in the flight but Ponting had the sense to go through with the shot. There was a deep midwicket, no long on and he gets a boundary. Flighted delivery and it dipped rapidly and beat Ponting who was looking to drive. He took the bottom-hand off the handle and went through with the shot and got it over mid-on.•Getty Images

New Zealand bowlers, crippled by the absence of Jacob Oram and Shane Bond, were unable to stem the run-flow •Getty Images

Shane Watson did a spectacularly entertaining cameo with a 32-ball 65 that had four fours and four sixes•Getty Images

Hayden equalled the record of Mark Waugh and Sourav Ganguly of scoring three hundreds in the same World Cup•AFP

Patel to Symonds, OUT, Mason gets under a swirling delivery at long off. Mason went left and left, then to right, the ball came down as if its drunk, swaying and swirling and he lunged back to take the catch•AFP
