Hazlewood 3-49) by 68 runsScorecard and ball-by-ball detailsFor the first time
this summer, Steven Smith could do no wrong. In the Tests against South Africa,
he didnt win a single toss, didnt manage a hundred, didnt lead his side to a
victory until the series was dead. But a change of format and opposition brought
a change of fortunes. Smith won the toss, plundered for himself the highest ODI
score ever made at the SCG, then took a truly remarkable catch as Australia
secured a 1-0 lead in the Chappell-Hadlee series.There were other highlights in
a match that finished as a 68-run victory for Australia. Martin Guptill, for the
first time in 41 innings against Australia across all formats, blasted a
century. Travis Head struck a fifty to help Australia post 8 for 324. Josh
Hazlewood took three wickets. Colin Munro gave New Zealand the faintest glimmer
of a late hope with 49. But after Smiths contributions, everything else felt
inconsequential by comparison.In 153 one-day internationals at the SCG, nobody
has ever scored more than the 164 Smith compiled in this game. It was also the
equal seventh-highest score by an Australian in an ODI, as well as Smiths best
in all of one-day cricket. His innings was the key difference between the sides,
although the standard of fielding perhaps ran a close second, for New Zealand
were uncharacteristically sloppy and provided Smith and Head with costly
let-offs.Smith was dropped on 13 when he glanced Trent Boult down leg and the
wicketkeeper BJ Watling grassed a chance diving to his left. If it wasnt exactly
easy, nor was it unattainable: Watling later pouched a very similar take to get
rid of George Bailey. An even simpler opportunity went begging when Head was on
7, as he drove Jimmy Neesham to mid-off, where Matt Henry spilled a sitter.
Smith and Head went on to build a 127-run partnership.Smith was also dropped on
152 by Munro but by then the horse had bolted, had a few birthdays, won the
Golden Slipper and been put out to stud. Still, compare New Zealands catching to
that of Australia. George Bailey spilled a tough chance at midwicket when
Guptill already had 56, but New Zealand had nothing to match Smiths stunning,
diving, one-handed take at backward point to get rid of BJ Watling. The rest of
Australias chances were held.It was just one of those days for New Zealand. Not
only could they have had Smith on 13, but later in the same over they might
easily have had him lbw for 14. Boult swung one in and rapped him on the pads,
but the lbw shout was turned down by umpire Mick Martell. New Zealand chose not
to ask for a review but had they done so, the decision would have been
overturned. To misquote the fine New Zealand band Split Enz, they saw red, they
saw red, they saw red.The day had started in more auspicious fashion for New
Zealand. In the first over of the match, Aaron Finch played on to Henry for a
golden duck, and David Warner also chopped on within the first ten overs of the
game, handing debutant Lockie Ferguson a maiden international wicket in his
first over. Watlings diving take down leg off Neesham got rid of George Bailey
for 17, and when Smiths straight drive flew through Neeshams hands and ran out
Mitchell Marsh for 1, Australia were 4 for 92.Had Henry caught Head, it would
have been 5 for 115. Instead, Head went on to strike five fours and brought up
his second ODI half-century. Eventually, on 52, Head drove hard back to the
bowler Boult, who pouched an excellent return catch. But Heads role was a
supporting one only. The starring turn in this innings belonged to Smith, who
was powerful all around the wicket and particularly punishing when the bowlers
dropped short. He moved to his century from 120 balls and struck 14 fours and
four sixes during the innings. His seventh ODI century ended when he skied a
chance to Munro, but by then the late runs were flowing freely. Matthew Wade
pounded three late sixes in his 38 from 22 balls, and Australia piled up 101
runs in their final eight overs. It took New Zealand not quite into
record-breaking territory for ODI chases in Australia, but close to it.Hazlewood
picked up two early wickets - Tom Latham played on for 2 and Kane Williamson was
well held at slip by Smith for 9 - but a 92-run stand between Guptill and
Neesham put the innings back on track. Hazlewood played a part in breaking the
partnership, completing a fine catch at long-on when Neesham (34) misjudged an
attempted slog off Mitchell Starc. Then came Smiths catch of Watling, and New
Zealand were wobbling.But while Guptill remained - he was scoring at better than
a run a ball - Australia could not relax. He looked effortless in striking six
sixes and 10 fours, and brought up his hundred from his 93rd delivery with a six
smashed over long-on off Mitchell Marsh. During his innings Guptill also became
the quickest New Zealander to the 5000-run mark in ODIs, and the 10th-fastest of
all comers, but he was unable to turn it into a match-winning innings.On 114,
Guptill pulled Adam Zampa to the substitute Glenn Maxwell at midwicket, and New
Zealand slumped. Mitchell Santner holed out to Warner off Zampa for a duck,
Colin de Grandhomme was lbw to Hazlewood for 6. Munro and Henry put on 50 before
both were caught in the deep by Bailey off Pat Cummins, and Ferguson was finally
bowled by Marsh for a duck.But for all the various contributors along the way,
this was a win for Smith, a day when everything he touched turned to Australian
gold.

Dan
Fouts Jersey . Brandon Morrow allowed five runs on six hits over three
innings. He struck out two, walked one and hit a batter. Edwin Encarnacion had a
two-out, bases loaded two-RBI double in the third inning. It was not the best
performance of his ruthless career by Sergey Kovalev in Ekaterinburg, Russia, on
Monday night, but it was good enough to beat Isaac Chilemba on points.Kovalev
retained his IBF, WBO and WBA light-heavyweight belts and added a cautionary
note to the assessments of all those who believe his power could flatten
anything from a small elephant down.Chilemba was dropped in the seventh, rocked
and hurt in the last but stayed on his feet to join a tiny club of fighters that
have heard the final bell against Kovalev.There is no disputing that the
Malawian is tough, but he is not as slick as he often looked against Kovalev.The
brutal and harsh truth is that Kovalev, back in his beloved Russia after four
years and 13 fights, looked like he had not prepared properly and was breathing
heavily from round eight, looked short of ideas from the start and lacked zip in
his punches.I suspect that his triumphant homecoming for his eighth world-title
fight was accompanied by too many distractions and commitments. Krusher looked
tired.Now Kovalev will rest, go hunt wild boar with his friend Nikolai Valuev,
the former world heavyweight champion who was known as the Beast from the East,
before returning to Florida and the most serious boxing camp of his life in
preparation for his November showdown with unbeaten, brilliant and often
untouchable Andre Ward.A minute before the first bell in Russia, the thinking on
Ward vs. Kovalev was simple: Ward has the skills, Kovalev has the power and the
brain.The thinking after a few rounds of Kovalev vs. Chilemba had shifted
slightly: Ward will be too clever, Kovalev does not have much of a boxing
brain.There is no doubt that it will be an easy night for Ward if the same
distracted, drained and predictabble Kovalev gets in the
ring.dddddddddddd?Kovalevs lack of speed against Chilemba was, hopefully, only a
temporary failing, perhaps due to a lack of preparation. Plus, predicting the
outcome of any future fight after just one performance is always
hazardous.However, Ward will have noted smaller, far more subtle flaws that
emerged as Kovalev fell short with his punches and was occasionally made to
miss.Ward has the most brilliant eye in boxing and would have dismantled the
Kovalev that beat Chilemba. But Kovalev could argue that he would have walked
through the Ward that went twelve repetitive rounds with Sullivan Barrera in
March of this year.That was only Wards second fight in 30 months and a necessary
twelve rounder in anticipation of agreeing to terms for the November fight with
Kovalev.Ward, by the way, has a fight in August to further sharpen his skills
before retreating behind closed doors for a three-month camp in the build-up to
the November 19 date at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.Chilemba will get back
on the dreaded train: a man with gloves and ambition but very little luck. Its
not the end for me, he said, after losing for the fourth time in 30 fights. I
will be back and I will win the title.Kovalev is not the type of boxer to lose
sleep over an off night, not the type to worry about future opponents and what
anybody thinks about him. Ward, thankfully, is not the type of fighter to
believe that one bad night makes a bad fighter.However, after Monday night in
Russia, a lot of people will be wondering and asking the greatest boxing
question of all time: What if?On November 19 we will all find out.
