Australia, Britain make their move

WORLD No 1 Australia shed their rust, and whipped Pakistan 5-1 to start their journey to a possible final slot in the Azlan Shah Cup in Ipoh.
And if the Aussies continue their form, they are likely to meet early leaders Great Britain who beat New Zealand 3-1 to top the standings with three wins.
After a slow start, where they edged Malaysia 2-1 and drew 1-1 with India, the Australians made sure the third match belonged to them with deft goals.
"We started rusty, and are picking up momentum as the new players in the team are getting adjusted to the tournament conditions.
"As I said before, we are trying out many new players and against Pakistan today, we had a team with an average of 40 caps, while Pakistan's average was 108 caps so it is a good result," said Australian coach Ric Charlesworth.
Even with six players missing, the World Cup, Commonwealth Games and Champions Trophy holders have started to show awesome form as they have good depth on the reserve bench.
The Australian goals were scored by Simon Orchard (23rd, 41st), Jason Wilson (35th, 55th) and Christopher Ciriello (51st),
The Pakistan goal were scored by Sohail Abbas (28th).
Australian skipper Orchard said: "I am glad that our new players have started to get a grip in the tournament, and we did play well today, but we can even play much better than this.
"We have three more matches after the rest (today) and we will work for a good Sunday finish," said Orchard.
In the second match, Britain were great in every department as they outclassed the Kiwis with goals from Richard Mantell (14th), Jonathan Clarke (51st), Richard Alexander (55th).
Shay Neal scored the consolation for New Zealand in the 60th minute.
