The Aussies are still the best ODI side in the world. Their performances against the World XI have only strengthed the argument that it less to do with lack of form and more to do with the way England played over the Ashes series, that led to a below par showing. It will be interesting to see...
You have to admit that Punter has been hit with a lot of stick since the Ashes - so maybe some decent results in this 'super' series won't do him any harm....
I didn't say he bowled well - he bowled poorly (as did the other seamers), But I think that win meant more to you after the series defeat over here last month - and why are you being so defensive mate , I'm just voicing my opinion - and my opinion is that Australia are still the best side in the...
It doesn't always work like that though mate. As Greiggy said on the commentry, theres always the danger that they're gonna think 'I if I get out then the next man will do it' and today it didn't work. Having 10 aggressive batsmen has its down side aswell - but it was good to see Freddie...
maybe I should have gone to work instead......... good bowling and field work (bar the put downs) by the Aussies but abysmal batting by the World XI.
I've been impressed with Bracken as well
Its good to see the world's best players on the same pitch, but its not exactley a serious contest is it? Australia are an excellent side but they've played together for years (minus Nathen Bracken), compared to the World XI who've had 1 warm up game??? Obviously the Aussies (playing for their...
I pulled a sickie from work today to watch it..... ;) Glenn McGrath back to his best and the World XI struggling - looks like its KP and Freddie to the rescue.... :hpraise
Vettori bowled very well - probably star performer of the first session. I'm also surprised at the attendance, although it will increase from now as people finish work etc - but its still nowhere near half-full.......whats the capacity 40,000??
Quick comment on Punter's bat - I don't see the problem. If other makes are claiming its unfair, why don't they follow kookaburra's lead and start doing it themselves??? If it was unfair why (as aussie1st states) isn't he setting the world on fire with it????
Sorry if this has been posted before guys - but has anyone made a kit for the World Test XI and World OD XI for next months matches???? Photos of the kit are on the ICC website (I was trying to figure out how to do it myself but wasn't getting very far and family commitments took over)...
I wish there had been a test that I could have missed my marriage for in 2002 - would have saved a messy divorce and the loss of my house.... :crying ha ha ha ha, nevermind turned out good in the end :clap
I nearly caused a family break up by insisting I was going to the Fri and Sat at Old Trafford - when there was a family wedding in the Isle of Man. I lost in the end and had to give the tickets to my mate...gutted....but at least it rained for him on the Saturday hahahaha - We managed to catch...
I've had it planned since last year - boxing day at the MCG and then on to Sydney, should be another cracking series with England firmly established as the world's numer 1 side after winning on the sub-continent over the winter :cool: :upray
p.s I love your missus too....hahahahaha :cheers
