Australia captain Hugh Weibgen said during the time of the toss, "We'll have a bowl. We were here yesterday and read the pitch. Little bit soft in parts, the other day pitch got better to bat on as it went on. We've got three (changes). Campbell, Hicks and Straker come in. We went one batter heavy. We batted against spin alright in Kimberley. Pace conditions, we are used to it, hopefully that comes into play."
Pakistan skipper Saad Baig said at the time of the toss, "Good feeling, if I had won the toss, I would have batted. Good conditions, batsmen have to take time. Starting 10 overs, the batsmen have to pick their balls to play big shots. After that, it's a good phase to bat. One change.
