VB one day series [ind, aus, zim] (1 Viewer)

[freaking_out]

i don't like the team that smh has proposed. :s

 

[copious]

hmm all based on rankings, which could change between now and then. also it depends on how many matches each country plays which differs. eg nz plays alot less than aust and india and alot of the other sub continent teams.

w00t!! 3 indians REPRESENT!!

that would be an awesome series!

 

[freaking_out]

and LoL at the fact that there's only one paki. (yousef youhanna) in the smh teams, and he's like crap as well. :rofl:

 

[freaking_out]

i am suprised that they don't have laxman in the test team.

 

[choco]

the only point of concern with this "best vs rest" is that if Australia do win ( and they probably canl) they'll get even more arrogant when they play , maybe they should have "best vs best" like pick both the teams and let them play each other....

 

[freaking_out]

crap game today- it was too one sided....and yeah, aus. prolly gonna win in sydney as well- india cannot cope wif the pressure!

true that- and early on sunday as well- not the "scheduled" finish time.

choco, it's fine to call the australian team arrogant but they don't really compare in the arrogance department with the indian team. Sourav is often delusional in press conferences and it is partly that attitude, that, in the words of Greg Chappel, result in him being 'in the bottom half of test captains in world cricket'.

I think some of it is cultural too. You don't see Indians walk (like Ponting did tonight). And no one will ever forget the time Rahul Dravid called Michael Slater a cheat (which resulted in Slats doing his nut).

fuck there must be a lot of indians on this board (looking at the votes)

Ponting was superb today both with the bat and with his captaincy in the field. He is really leading by example. Gilly and Lee were as explosive as ever. Lee's ball to dismiss Tendulkar was outstanding. Nothing like a cartwheeling off stump!

sensational!

that said, agarkar batted well for a change. he must've enjoyed not facing lee It's good to see it, he's had a horror run up to this point.

Australia r going to win in Syd on Sunday for sure

 

[Rahul]

outclassed, outplayed, outscored...

whats the go with the top order, on paper its world class. sehwag,tendy,laxman,dravid,gangers. and bloody gangers, it was clearly an edge to gilly last night he should of walked.

and so shuld've hayden- who acted like nothing happened!

 

[golfstick]

hayden wouldn't have been able to tell, it feels the same off the bat and it is a highly unusual mode of dismissal. Ganguly's was a case of him knowing he hit it and that was all that mattered. Ponting walked btw.

 

[copious]

yeah with hayden it probaly felt like he hit it into the ground force, its a common shot.
