ideally bond would have been playing...ive always liked him. Ntini should have played all three, Akhtar didnt deserve to be there (and no that is NOT in hindsight)
We;re without freddy now and chasing 294...hmm i have my doubts

Yeah, theres been questions regarding why he was included for the team, obviously he is a fast bowler but he also draws in fans and media. Plus he is there to match up with Brett Lee.

gee this is a hammering now... the big question remains - will whitey get a bowl

edit:

heres a couple of 2 minute jobs for the cameron white pic:

Using the second one constipated!!

should be the standard logo for the "bos cam white fan club"

shameful....onto the test we go.

i just hope to see the world xi fire on the day i am there.

Kallis better do something.

I think Australia will struggle in the test, their middle order is questionable. If Hayden and langer don't fire up then they are screwed, but with 2 spinners in the game it should make for a much more interesting match.

I'm not going anymore.

Whos going to South Africa v Aus. I sure am. BOKKE BOKKE PROTEA?

Smith impressed me today in his little boundary interview. He's a good captain and at 23 hes got everything ahead of him. PROTEAS!!!!

Everyone, incorporate one of my sig pics into your sig. Cameron Whites potential can only be realised if he has a group of teenage nerds on interent forums pushing his status evr further.

ahhahah agreat pics!!

i reckon out of kallis, smith and sehwag, 2 will have a great match.

 

[king_of_boredom]

excellent performance by the aussies. i expected a lot out of ntini coming into the final ODI, looks like i didnt see much happen.

and bad luck to hussey for his shot wouldve been surely out of the ground.

rest of the match forecast: http://www.weather.com/outlook/travel/businesstraveler/extended/ASXX0112



i swear it is going to rain on sunday, its my bad luck! i hope that this forecast is wrong, and it turns out to be a beautiful sunny day.

 

[Bookie]

Cant forecast so early.

Anyway, I wouldve liked Ntini in the Test squad rather than the ODI squad, I think he was the highest calender wicket taker in tests in 04 after Macgill. Someone clarify.

 

[angelduck]

whjen will Aus finally confirm their damn team?

 

[Boo_]

i soo hope the test is better then the odi...otherwise the test match wont last the full 6 days...

heyya that's decent. test starts this friday doesnt it?


WHY MUST THE FCKING CRICKET BE ON JUST BEFORE THE HSC


too distracting. oh what the hell, im still gonna watch it.

 

[Cityboy]

How can Sangakkara be left out of the World 11, he is a better bat than Boucher and will also be a better keeper in the spinning conditions, especially when Murali is bowling

 

[copious]

dammit i hope it doesnt rain, i got day 3 tickets.

 

[Bookie]

Bouchers a better test batsman than Sangakkara, so its a fair enough decision.

Good to see Kallis be rewarded for his efforts. True great player of the game [*waits for people to say he's shit based onlyon his World XI perfromances*]. 6 consecutive tests centuries. Stick that up your ass Bradman.

Super Test....to go or not to go.....rain may occur....NO CRICKET MATCH FIXTURED FOR MY TEAM THIS WEEKEND. That is just fuckjobbed. I wouldve bought my tickets for the Saturday three months ago, but I planned to play cricket on Saturday the 15th. Anyway, the concept may be dud. Cant wait till South Africa comes over though. Test and ODIs for me

bahahahahaha. kumar has a better career avergae and a better average over the selection period. he's also a better glovesman to the spinners, which will be vital with murali and vettori tweaking it for huge spells

[Bookie]

So KS is better. Well if it was down to me I'd have picked AB de Villiers

I would be interested to see how many of Kumars runs were scored in the sub continent though?
