Media: Mr Streak How are you going about preparation for this test match against such an inexperienced World XI team.
HS: Our Preparation been nothing short of 100% and we are looking to win and win easily. We hope that the World Xi team will come at us and give us a match.
Media: What are your thoughts on this long tour that ICC has set up for the World XI?
HS: I think it's Just ridiculous that the ICC has made a tour that Consists for 70 matches in total and that doesn't include the 20/20 matches that may occur against the touger nations.
Media: because it's such a long tour how do you think these World Xi players will fare against the Stronger Teams?
HS: I feel that they will learn their strengths and weaknesses but i feel they'll struggle to win a match.
Media: Thank you MR streak.
Press Conference World Xi
Media: Mr Gutteridge In an earlier interview with the Zimbabwean captain. He stated that you guys didnt' stand a chance at winning a match. What are your thoughts on this?
BG: It's Just ridiculous because they aren't even supposed to be playing test matches. yes our side is a Little inexperienced on the international scale but we have players from domestic teams and county teams all in which have experience playing against international players.
Media: You've got Duncan Fletcher as your coach. What impact do you think he'll have on the team.
BG: he's an experienced internatonal coach he has be successful and unsuccessful but every coach has that at some point. I feel that he is a great asset to the team and with Someone of His experience we can surely go a long way.
Media: How do think you'll fair against Zimbabwe Tomorrow?
BG: I feel we have a good chance at winning tomorrows test match
MN: Good morning everybody, I'm Mark Nicholas and welcome to Harare for the 1st test match in the World XI tour of the world. It's Sunny with i cool breeze. The Pitch Looks to be a belter. It's hard, it's flat good even bounce should be alot of runs scored today.
I'm with the two captains for the toss and it'll be your call Heath.
HS: Heads
MN: Heads it is what are you going to do Heath?
HS: I think We'll have a bowl first. with their inexperience we can bowl them out early post a decent score and leave them in the dust.
MN: Interesting words there ok Brendan are you happy to be batting first?
BG: yes i would have chosen to bat anyway the pitch looks great.
MN: Now i must ask you how did you feel about the comment made by Heath Streak just then.
BG: HE's just so up himself. yes we are an inexperienced team but we aren't going to pay any attention to snide comments made towards us
MN: Ok then well we'll leave it at that. after the break i'll be chatting with Richie Benaud
{quick add break and back on} MN: Hello Richie and welcome to what could be a glorious test match.
RB: Thank you Mark. yes it certainly will be. the tour hasn't even started yet, we are only a few moments away, but there's already some words being said.
MN: yes your Quite right. In a press conference Zimbabwean captain stated that World XI had no chance of winning a match how do respond to something like that.
I Would respond by playing some good cricket the World XI has got a brilliant line up here today and i had the pleasure of seeing them all play. they have all got talent there's no doubt about that.
MN: Ok Richie we'll leave it there we have a test match to start we'll take a break and be back with the teams out on the field
