Lowest Scorer in the match predition - Micheal Vaughan

Toss will be vital just like the last game. Big call but "Whoever wins the toss will win the game".

nah, bright sun all day, can't see the toss being that] important today. I have Aussies by 5 wickets, Symonds top score and Mcgrath most wickets.

Aussies win toss and field first

 

[King_Ponting]

in that case, i retract the statement. Aussie win by 25 runs..... I take it Aus is batting first?

 

[Hoggy31]

The coin toss is always important now with these 'Super Subs'

When Ponting does come out of his mini-slump, look out!! He'll have a bumper Test Series, I reckon. As for tonight, I reckon Gilly will go nuts and jag a quick-fire 80.

That'll be good for Gillespie - only conceding 80 off 10 would be quite an improvement on his current form, I reckon.

bowling first.

Hogg out Kasprovicz back

 

[Adamc]

Guess again.

 

[King_Ponting]

okay a 5 wicket win to australia

 

[Hoggy31]

in that case, i retract the statement. Aussie win by 25 runs..... I take it Aus is batting first?

And on that one I'll go Australia by 4 wickets

 

[superkingdave]

ooh looks like rain

 

[Hoggy31]

bowling first.

Hogg out Kasprowicz back

Watson's playing?

 

[superkingdave]

no, Brad Haddin super sub

Hayden out Katich in

 

[Hoggy31]

I thought Haddin might play as a batsman

 

[superkingdave]

well he'll come in for one of the bowlers when they've bowled out

 

[PY]

Impeccably observed, well done everyone.

 

[Hoggy31]

My guess is Kasper will bowl his first 6 from overs 12-24 then bowl his final 4 from overs 32-40 then he will get subbed off

 

[Jono]

Just curious, what would have happened had Australia lost the toss and England sent them in? How would they have worked Haddin in as super-sub then?

Just trying to wrap my head around the new rules.

If they were something like 6/100 and in trouble they would probably sacrifice a bowler for a batter but in any other situation he would probably not be used

Great stuff from Lee to start. Need one of them to actually get a wicket though.
