VB Series: Aus vs Zim, Jan 29, 2004

Zimbabwe`s hopes of breaking through for their first win in the VB series were dashed at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on Thursday when heavy rain forced play to be abandoned after the Aussies made 263 for nine off their 50 overs. Hayden was bowled by Douglas Hondo for 23 after a 21-minute rain delay at the start of the day`s play and debutant Blessing Mahwire, 21, took his maiden wicket in his third over, bowling Michael Clarke for 11.
