Australia had a bit of trouble bowling second in one day matches leading up to the World Cup, and captain Ricky Ponting stated in the papers that he intended to bowl first whenever he won the toss in the tournament. To thwart Australia's plans, Scotland decided to send Australia in to bat so they would be forced to bowl second.
