Ball-by-Ball Commentary

       Good morning and welcome to the W.A.C.A ground in Perth for the
        Mercantile Mutual Cup Final.
       The news is that Western Australia has won the toss and will bat
        first.
       The Western Australians have dropped Darren Wates in favour of
        Duncan Spencer.
       The New South Wales team is the same as was in their last start
        against Tasmania.
       The sky is clear and there is a moderate breeze from the West, but
        the temperature will be hot and it will be quite sticky.
       The game will start soon.
