The goodness of this Super Test is that the organizers have turned this match to aid earthquake victims…
The match will start on Friday at 0030 GMT…
Inzamam is in…Shoaib Akhtar & Shahid Afridi out…
Shoaib Akhter dropped due to disappointing performance in the first ODIs…but who else not (with the exception of Sangakkara - who appears to be dropped too to make place for Boucher…this decision could be dearly too)…lol
See…in what fashion the WXI will lose this match in 4 days…or at best end up in a draw…
Australia 1 Justin Langer, 2 Matthew Hayden, 3 Ricky Ponting (capt), 4 Michael Clarke, 5 Simon Katich, 6 Shane Watson, 7 Adam Gilchrist (wk), 8 Shane Warne, 9 Brett Lee, 10 Glenn McGrath, 11 Stuart MacGill, 12 Brad Hodge.
World XI (probable) 1 Graeme Smith (capt), 2 Virender Sehwag, 3 Rahul Dravid, 4 Inzamam-ul-Haq, 5 Brian Lara, 6 Jacques Kallis, 7 Andrew Flintoff, 8 Mark Boucher, 9 Daniel Vettori, 10 Steve Harmison, 11 Muttiah Muralitharan.
PS: Dropping Shoaib Akhtar could be very expensive for the WXI and another misstep…hmmmmmmmmm
Nopes both of them were not there in the original test squad announced.
There are alot of things you would never understand about this thread opener. With time you will know more about him, HMMMMMMM
graeme smith is a twit. I knew he wouldn't pick shabi. Now i have a feeling ginga will pip bholey badshah for that final slot.
EDIT- It's stupid just donating saturdays' takings. How about full 6 day takings + players earnings from this test! I'm sure these centrally contracted players won't be in 2 much of hot water if they don't get their dues' just this once.
Test # 1768
ICC Super Series Test Match, 2005-06, Only Test
Australia v ICC World XI
Sydney Cricket Ground
14,15,16,17,18,19 October 2005 (6-day match)
hmmmm looks like Gilly will murder the bowlers tomorrow! Once AUS has 500+ score, world XI will be under pressure because 500+ can bring pressure to any side no matter how many stars are in the side!!!
shoaib deserved the place..he was the only fast bowler who could throw australia out of the ground...shoaib needs just 1 good over and u will see the drama...
i hope world team will lost the match AMEEN
sirf inzi bhai acchi batting karey..yeh na ho kay duck par out ho jaye
Stop giving too much credit to Shoib. You sound me similar to Sachin worshipping that Indian too. He is definitly good bowler and I agree with Game that he is definitly best in Pakistan. But to say that he is the only one who could throw Australia out is foolish. He played 2 ODIs last week and frankly sucked.
