Western Australia, one of the traditional forces in Australian one-day� interstate cricket, crashed out of this year's Mercantile Mutual Cup when� they failed to qualify for the semi-finals today.�� WA's campaign ended today when they were beaten by New South Wales by 55� runs at the Sydney Cricket Ground.� NSW, batting first, made 6/230 from� their fifty overs, all-rounder Shawn Bradstreet blasting 75 not out from 70� balls.� The Western Warriors were dismissed for 175 but not before captain� Tom Moody reminded Australian selectors that he is still available for the� World Cup by scoring 61.� Stuart MacGill again showed his prowess as a� limited-over bowler, taking 3/29 in his ten overs for the Blues. Unusually, both innings began with a wicket from the first ball - Michael� Slater caught by Justin Langer off the first ball of the match from Jo� Angel, and Ryan Campbell caught behind by Phil Emery off Stuart Clark's� bowling at the start of the WA innings.
