I doubt it'd make a huge difference really. Injuries and so on would, but I don't think losing this match and a series against NZ with a depleted side would make a huge difference to how Australia play in the world cup.

But it would make a difference to how the opposition plays Australia. If they went through the summer unbeatable, I'm sure there would have been talk of Australia going unbeaten through to the final etc etc. Feeling all invisible and all.
But if my scenario unfolds, then all sides will go in to there games vs Australia with more confidence. I mean, if England can beat Australia 3 times in a row.........

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

haha, love the way you took KiWiNiNja so literally there

 

[Hoggy31]

Nah, it wouldn't really. The only way Gilchrist won't get picked in the World Cup is if he can't walk.

He's going to go regardless, maybe just not as first choice keeper.

 

[Jono]

Its an honour for McGrath to dismiss someone as good as Nixon off his last ever ball at the SCG.



Lol, actually its probably the reverse

You'd expect the Aussies to chase this down. One good start from Gilly and they will be in a good position.

 

[andyc]

Got an inkling that England will pull this one off too.

Yeah, feeling a bit nervous tbh

 

[Fiery]

Dont worry mate, I'm on your side

 

[Laurrz]

crap therse been some swing for plunkett

 

[Prince EWS]

He's going to go regardless, maybe just not as first choice keeper.

I'm quite sure he'll be going as the first choice keeper really...

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

Dont worry mate, I'm on your side

I know mate, i know


Gilchrist really is key here, if Aussie get off to a flyer then its all over rover.

On the other hand, if Gilchrist fails yet again...........

 

[Laurrz]

0/8
1 over

will be under pressure all the way through... even if we are 1/100 if we lose two quick wickets its 3/110 or sumtin so yea....

 

[Fiery]

I'm quite sure he'll be going as the first choice keeper really...

He'll probably be the first name pencilled in by the selectors anyway

If its 100/1 i cant really see Australia not coasting home from there, New Zealand maybe, but not Australia methinks

 

[Fiery]

Why isn't Watto opening?

 

[Prince EWS]

Why isn't Watto opening?

Because Hayden and Gilchrist are in the team.

 

[Fiery]

Because Hayden and Gilchrist are in the team.

Oh...ok...thanks Prince. Do you think he'll get his chance soon?

 

[Laurrz]

wow streaky...very streaky from Gilly...will definately take it tho

0/25 off 3 overs

 

[PY]

Gah, I've got a feeling that we're going to get thumped.

Gilchrist having a bit of luck at the moment and he's the worst person to get luck...

As I type, Hayden gone! Mahmood bamboozles him.

 

[andyc]

FFS Hayden, that was the worst shot.

 

[Laurrz]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Arrrghhhhhh **** **** ****

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

Got him 25/1

That will bring the runrate back, and keep the pressure on.
