Fresh Trade with Melbourne:

Brett Lee out.
Shaun Tait in.

Sartaj?

 

[Sartaj]

Yeah,confirmed mate.

 

[Sartaj]

Earlier today,while unveiling the official team jersey at the MCG,a press conference was held by the Melbourne Storm manager Sartaj to address the media,announcing the team skipper in the process.Below are the highlights of the interaction:

On the team structure:
As you can see,we are going in with three overseas batsmen upfront with Amla and AB opening,followed by MSD at #3,a position he's not alien to.The middle-order consists of the Victorian trio of Hussey, White and McDonald.The bowling unit also boasts of handy lower-order sloggers like Lee, Swann and Clint McKay,who is the best of the lot.The attack is exciting to say the least with a good mix of youth and experience.Jonathan Trott should remain the 12th man.

On naming McDonald the skipper:
Look,it was a collective decision everyone is happy with.Ronnie does have some experience under his belt having captained the Bushrangers and is also the most vital element in the balance of the team,being a genuine allrounder of appreciable quality.

On the side's chances::
Though teams like West Coast and Sydney are more fancied,all the five competing teams are pretty evenly matched in terms of quality on paper,so whoever goes out and executes the plans right will find themselves in a good position.In that regard,we do consider ourselves one of the top dogs and team bonding will be a key aspect as well.

On the alleged relationship with Lara Bingle:
No comments but,Lara who?
Sydney are the obvious rivals but taking a cheap shot at pup Clarke is not on.

It's a big risk you have taken with so many retired stars,those who are not are on the verge of retirement as well.So,would be interesting to see how your campaign unfolds.

 

[Champagnepapi]

^this is only a warm up test

 

[Sartaj]

Not that your actual line-up would be too different.

 

[Champagnepapi]

it depends if they do good or bad

 

[Gaurav_7]

Brendan Taylor should be a keeper, right?

I think Tendulkar will be better at no.2 than Ponting(he is).
He averages only 10.22 at no.3 in ODIs and 50.31 at no.2. Ponting averages 37 at no.2 and 42.48 at no.3. If you want to get the best out of your players, put them in positions where they're comfortable.

We managed to have a chat with the owner. Excerpts.

On being an owner of the franchise in such a league..
It is an honor. I'm a passionate Cricket follower and love the game. To own a side like Sydney in this league, it feels great. You get to know so much more about these guys. That's a fabulous experience.

On the team squad..
I feel we have one of the balanced teams. If you see we have got the dangerous Warner at the top followed by two world class batsmen in Clarkey and Virat. We're looking to open with Stirling along with Warner. He's a young talent from Ireland and I'm excited to see him play. We have the finishers in Morgan and Shakib. Mind you, Shakib is the world #1 all rounder as well. Bowling is superb with Slinga Malinga, Hilfy, Nannes and the spin sensation Narine. I'm not sure about the number of overseas allowed in the XI as of yet. But, I hope they allow at least 5.

On other teams in the league..
In a five team league, you naturally expect each team to be competitive as the available talent for selection is huge. That's the same case here. All the teams look good. I won't pick a particular favorite of mine. Everyone need to go out on the field and perform. Whoever wins the league, is the best! Yeah, there is rivalry already heating up against Melbourne. Melbourne what? But, I've informed the guys and our coach that we will be talking on the field and not in the press. Clarke isn't too worried about all this anyways and that's what matters.

On further involvement in the on field matters of the team..
I'll be pro active. Yes, I'll allow the management and the men who matter to make all the plans and strategies but, I'll be with the team during the matches. Player selection and stuff will be the duty of the coach and captain. But, if need be, I'll give my input surely whether or not they ask me, ha ha.

Final say..
I'd like to wish all the teams good luck. Hopefully, we gel well as a unit and produce the results. It was a pleasure.

 

[Prats]

I've now started player's practice sessions. Good luck team!

 

[Aislabie]

Brendan Taylor should be a keeper, right?

He doesn't really keep much at the moment, and you already have Paine. And I made a mistake.

 

[Fenil]

He doesn't really keep much at the moment, and you already have Wade and Sanga. And I made a mistake.

Wade and Sanga are part of West Coast, mate not User's team Sydney.
