Here are the Australian and New Zealand squads for the  forthcom-
ing  triangular  "World  Series"  one-dayers. South Africa is the
other team:
Australia: Mark Taylor, Michael  Slater,  Matthew  Hayden,  David
Boon, Mark Waugh, Allan Border (c), Steve Waugh, Ian Healy, Shane
Warne, Craig McDermott, Paul Reiffel, Tim May, Glen McGrath.
New Zealand: Ken Rutherford (c), Mark Greatbatch,  Blair  Pocock,
Bryan  Young, Rod Latham, Chris Harris, Tony Blain, Chris Cairns,
Dipak Patel, Danny Morrison, Richard  de  Groen, Shane   Thomson,
Chris Pringle, Gavin Larsen.
Australia have kept the same 12 that have performed  so  well  in
the test series, but have added the prolific Matt Hayden. He will
probably play first up.
New Zealand have made four changes. Andrew Jones  goes  home  for
family  reasons,  but  should  be  available  after the New Year.
Simon Doull is carrying an injury, whilst Murphy Su'a  and   Mark
Haslam  are   not   the  type of bowlers required for the one-day
game. They have been replaced by Thomson,  Latham,  Pringle,  and
Larsen.   The  last three of these are really one-day specialists
whilst Thomson should have been in the  team  anyway  as   Martin
Crowe's  replace- ment.

New Zealand on Monday made four changes to their  squad  for  the
coming block of four one-day World Series cricket matches against
Australia and South Africa, which get underway  in Melbourne   on
Thursday.   The  New  Zealand tour management said batsman Andrew
Jones and bowlers Mark Haslam, Murphy Su'a and Simon Doull  would
be  returning  home, to be replaced by Rod Latham, Shane Thomson,
Gavin Larsen and Chris Pringle.  Jones is returning to  New  Zea-
land  for  the birth of a child while the three relegated bowlers
are not suited to one-day cricket.
The four new players are  expected  to  arrive  in  Australia  by
Wednesday  in  time  for  the  team's opening match against South
Africa in Adelaide on Saturday.  Larsen, Latham and Pringle  were
all an integral part of the squad that reached the semi-finals of
the 1992 one-day World Cup.  Jones is expected to  be   available
for  the  second  block  of one-day games after Christmas and the
tourists are also banking on the return of injured captain Martin
Crowe.   Crowe returned home for knee surgery a fortnight ago but
the master batsman will be struggling to  be  available  for  the
one-day series.
The squad: Ken Rutherford (capt), Blair Pocock, Rod Latham, Bryan
Young,   Mark  Greatbatch,  Shane  Thomson,  Gavin Larsen,  Chris
Harris, Tony Blain, Dipak Patel, Chris  Cairns, Danny   Morrison,
Chris Pringle, Richard De Groen.
