You seem to say that a lot Mick. What, do you live in the North Pole or something?

It seems as though everyone is nicking other people's ideas, all credit really goes to the first person who thought of it, and it loses it's originality afterwards.

Aussies will win this one for sure.

Great bowling by Binga. Well done mate . I bet you would have been happy Brett_Lee seeing you favourite cricketer get a 6for.

Great presenation Brett! Well done. .

Australia have shown they are the best side in the world today. Great work by all of the Australians. India batted well in the first innings but from there on in it was curtains for them.

Andrew Symonds and Glenn McGrath are being rested due to recent sickness they should be alright to play in game two.

We caught up with the aussie selectors....

Sky: An Interesting side picked for hte first game
AS: Yes it quite is. We are just experimenting. A usual Aussie side should be picked in game 2 giving some players an oppertuinty to start impressing for the Ashes ahead
Sky: Symonds, Mcgrath will they be fit for next match?
AS: Yes they should be.
Sky: Thanks for that Cricket Australia.
