Cricket News from Down Under
----------------------------

Australia's Cricket Selectors have decided to put the Windies in a Spin. 
Shane Warne and David Freedman have both been picked for this weekends
match between the Windies and the Australian XI. Freedman is a left-arm
'Chinaman' bowler from NSW who got 22 wickets at 18.59 last season. (Mostly
at the SCG I point out). 

The team is..
Ian Healy (Qld) Captain, David Boon (Tas), David Freedman (NSW), Matthew Hayden
(Qld), Merv Hughes (Vic), Darren Lehmann (Vic), Damien Martyn (WA), Chris
Matthews (Tas), Wayne Phillips (Vic), Shane Warne (Vic), Steve Waugh (NSW)
and Dene Hills (Tas) 12th man.

The team for the first test a week later is up in the air following this weeks
performances. Wayne Phillips double century for Victoria coupled with 'Swampy'
Marsh's failure against the Windies seems to have the opening spot with Taylor
left to Hayden or Phillips.
Chris Matthews seems to be being mentioned as a possible replacement for Reid
if he gets injured....why I don't know... but anyway..
