Very good storyline. Can't wait for the final.

Good win for World XI in that match. Australia should have been able to do it but the tail failed them

Toss with Mark Taylor

MT: Welcome ladies and Gentlemen to this final ODI of the commonwealth Series Chappell Hadlee Trophy..I have got the both captains alongside me ..Ricky has the coin...

DV: Tails

MT: Tails it is....What wud u like to do Daniel???


DV: We wud like to field first..As the pitch will help our fast bowlers with a lot of swing..we wud try to restrict them below 250 and that wud be good to chase...

MT: Any changes in the squad??

DV: Yes , a couple of...Papps comes in for Scott and Patel makes way for Gillespie...Keeping in mind the pitch is good for bowlers spin wud not be that effective...

MT: Thanks and Good Luck

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ricky you wud have bowled first on this pitch ...wudnt you...

RP: Surely Mark , This has always supported fast bowlers but it is not a bat pitch bat...if you play carefully then any thing is possible...

MT: You have win this to retain the trophy so what changes have u made...??

RP: Ah , no changes , Tait and Hogg come in for McGrath and Warnie thats all ...its the same side we played in the second ODI....


MT: How is Bracken...??

RP: He was not 100% fit so we didnt take him..

MT: Thanks Punter and Good Luck
