WC2007: Super 8

[cricket doctor]

I hope we can at least win 1 match in the Super 8's, hopefully against England.

You don't fancy your chances against Bangladesh ?

No windies are gonna put up a fight tomorrow...

 

[genghis_khan]

They need to get Hussey some time in the middle...he may play a vital role from here on in and he hasnt had a decent hit since the NZ tour.

 

[Mona brothers]

No, the seedings were pre-pre-pre tournament, well before South Africa took the lead.

Mind you, even if they were done just prior to the cup, I think the defending champions would be given first seeding. That's just the standard for tournaments.

Nice reply Angry angy Thanx

We too accept this Windies Rocks CHEERS!!! Rocklara

This WC for Hussey is like a story gone wrong where he finally fails at International Cricket.
I don't see Hussey hitting a big score until he gets moved up the order either. We should be batting our best 4 batsman (Gilchrist, Hayden, Ponting & Hussey) in the top 4 and then have the class of Clarke & Symonds down at 5 and 6.
TBH, I don't think Gilchrist is hitting the ball as well as we come to expect either.

 

[aussie1st]

Hussey should have been 4 from the start after his performance in NZ. I never liked the idea before then but after seeing him at 4, I was really impressed.

 

[Griffo]

You cant put Hussey at 4 with Clarkes form as it is he has played really well i know you will say against minnows but against south africa he probably player better yet

Btw I have a reason why tonights game is even bigger. The West Indies are the only country to have a winning record against Australia in one-dayers. They are 5 ahead right now. This can not stand

Oh btw we own them in test's

We own all. Let's see if Australia can dominate in this Super 8, knocked off the toughest one first up, although I don't see South Africa winning. They might make the final, but not win, they just don't seem to win crunch games. I reckon that Sri Lanka will do well here in the Super 8s, Australia v Sri Lanka the pick of the Super 8s imo.

 

[aussie1st]

Well most people seem to be picking a Aus v SL final so definitely going to be the pick of this round.

 

[Ponting_14]

I still think South Africa is the #1 team that can stop Australia. I don't know, it's just something about them.

I meant that i hope we beat England as most of my friends are English but i can't see us beating England.

If i'm honest i can't see us winning any Super 8 games but i don't care as we've already proved everyone wrong.

I can't see it myself. I think SA will struggle again SL and WI. Their lack of a slow bowler is a real problem. Once the powerplays are over, they don't really have anyone to tie the batsmen down, so they are totally reliant on out-hitting everyone they play - which as Australia proved emphatically the other day, it not always possible

 

[WORLD CHAMPIONS]

Hayden is back again with his usual form Gilly is really out of form , i hope we could see few tons from Gilly : cmon Gilly what happened to your killing instinct :

 

[Ponting_14]

Anyway, what's with the Australian running today

Hayden is back again with his usual form Gilly is really out of form , i hope we could see few tons from Gilly : cmon Gilly what happened to your killing instinct :

Be nice on Gilly

If we get to the SF's or the fianl, I can see him going off for one last time

Clarke's out for 41

No not a again, Symonds's coming in, should let Hussey move up today

West Indies back is this one, we have a game now
