WC2007: Super 8

[WORLD CHAMPIONS]

Vaughan: "I'm not quitting ODI's" What a pleb, I hope they drop him.

I think he will be drop now , after his performance at world Cup

 

[RoboRocks]

I hope so, I would like actully see Collingwood as captian.
He is the only England player that knows his game at the moment.

Undermines the team if vaughan stays..

how can he justify dropping anyone when you are only averaging 15 with the bat ?

For me we need 2 more "hitters" people capable of hitting sixes. If you lok at other teams, they have 4-5 people capable of hiting over the ropes.. It puts too much pressure on KP with all these people hititng singles and expecting him to hit the runs/.

Ok I gotta ask this question. Sure I like KP alot, but I like Ponting more lol. So now KP has made little runs lately, hows his and Ponting's one day best batsmen ranking comparison going? Is KP still number 1?

Just curious....

Strauss did a decent job as captain imo, plus if we can get him and Tres back together :lickslips: (We need an emoticon for that).

I'd rather have Ponting btw, but KP is good enough and should muller the WIndies attack this summer.

Ok so after my last post here, I turned off my pc, and went to enjoy the cricket. I saw Vaughan hit some nice shots, and was happy he was seeming to find some touch, then he went out. Of course I saw Bell get out in a skier as well. But then KP came in and I was real excited, and with Nel bowlin, I thought it was gonna be a ripper. Then KP get's out cheaply. It was around 1245am my time at that time, and I was lying on the couch half asleep watching Strauss (who played some fine shots earlier), and Collingwood play, and I could't hack it anymore, due to tiredness, and went to bed. Now I see England have lost. I'm sorry England are out. I mean i'm sorry for the fans of the English cricket team, you guys deserve better....

Could you just check your passport for me again please

Good post.

In Australia do you have just the one one-day tournament? If so does it replicate an ODI, in terms of rules?

 

[Mars Maximus]

Thanks for the link, and the post compliment sureshot. And my passport? I sound like an English supporter? Well I do feel for you guys. When England are playing any team other than Australia, I always want them to win. And in our summers we have test and one day series over the course of the summer. And yea rules seem same as usual. Power plays n all lol and yes just the one...

5 ball overs against Sri Lanka,umpire fielding for the oppo,soccer Am's got it right,we were screwed

 

[The_gas]

Well that was terrible, i stopped watching atfer we lost freddy as i knew it was all over.
Fletcher out, vaughan out, move freddie up the order so we can take advantage of the early power plays. I see no point in freddie comming in at 6 or 7, making 5 runs and getting out. Drop Saj Mahmood for Evertonfan. Bring plunket back in.

Gas's one day team

Trescothick (if he's up to it)
Strauss
Flintoff
Bopara
Pieterson
Bell
Collingwood
Prior
Plunket*
Anderson
Broad
Panesar

*12th man, or possible swap with broad or anderson.

 

[Mars Maximus]

How would it be if KP and Freddie opened in one dayers? Anyone see them do Gilchrist-Hayden type roles?

bit of a waste having KP at 5..

Bell + colly at 6/7..don't have the power to accelerate the innings

I wouldn't pick Bell..too easily bogged-down..to authodox and to easy to stop him scoring..

My ideal line-up would be: (assuming all available + fit)

Trescothick
Strauss
Pieterson
Collingwood
Flintoff
Bopara
Prior
Plunket/ jones if fit
Broad
Panesar
Anderson

Lol a 38 year old they would be getting desperate.

Wouldn't work out to well if they both got out early would it? Although it would be a gamebreaking partnership.

Well aint that the same for Gi oh i get ya, coz we have such a great long batting line up we have back ups they dont. Well least I tried lol

 

[aussie1st]

If you got Trescothick in the side not much need for Flintoff to open, KP definitely should be the 3.
