***Official*** Super Series

I hope Martyn bats so well in the ODI's that the selectors have to pic him for the super test

There's more chance that I get picked in the Super Test to be fair.

I'll be there to witness the pain first hand

Any other Victorians going?

JONO,,are you going to the ODI ?
We are staying at a place called the crown in melbourne city. I am told the telstra ground is not very far from the crown, Do you know if this is right or have you not heard of crown hotel?
Then we are heading to a place called South Marang in outer suburbs for some stuff to do with junior cricket announcement,,,do you know if this is far from crown hotel as well?

HAHA not a hope in hell,even if he made 300 runs he would not get into test squad for super series.

 

[jlo33692]

What are the odds ROW break 400 against Victoria? Especially with it being a warm-up game - KP, Fred, Afridi, Lara et al will all just go out all guns blazing - it's not like there's anything at stake.

Just for fun Barny i will bet they dont even get to 300,,,hows that for brave statement?
Took a lot of guts to do this hahahaha

Victoria are on a hiding to nothing really,so can play with freedom,they are expected to get walloped
Are the selectors playing some games in not picking SK WARNE as he is a victorian and will be playing district cricket for ST Kilda on the same day????WTF is the go here?? Games i suspect.Would have thought warney would wanted to have a look at them before test but then again they prob would like to have a look at him as well,i guess thats why they are selectors and we are cricket watchers and lovers hahaha

I think what he meant was that Tendulkar's fitness, when he is fully fit, is better than Inzy's, in the sense that Sachin is generally in the better shape when it comes to having to run around in the field or even while batting.

Add to that a small matter of "er", the difference between allround and allrounder and you see why a someone who is 'fit allround' doesnt fit as easily into being a 'fitter allrounder' as you assume

I doubt that.

Yes the Crown is very close to the Telstra Dome, so you won't have any trouble getting there. I'm not sure how far South Marang is, but the Crown is pretty much the middle of the city, so it shouldn't be too far.

And yep I'm going to all 3 ODIs, plus the free Victoria game tomorrow

 

[Donny]

I hope Martyn bats so well in the ODI's that the selectors have to pic him for the super test or else i would be a bit uncomfortable with Australia picking Watson as the all-rounder since the middle-order will look seriously iffy vs R.O.W.

Mate, the Super Test squad has been picked.

Marto isn't in it. End of story.

sorry jono , i had it misspelt ,i was told ,it is South morang and it is on or through or near Epping in northern melbourne, How lucky you are to live close to MCG,as that is a favorite ground of so many players and always seems to be some sort of records are being made on that ground.
M8 do they still retain the ground i see in the old cricket from world series cricket days,i think it was called the waverley cricket oval and looked bloody huge,no ropes in those days and if you hit a six you had to earn it. Is or Was the ground bigger than the MCG? maybe it is in sydney but for some reason i always think of melbourne when i watch those old clips.

 

[jlo33692]

Warne has just finished his bwling in district cricket,3 for 42 i think they said from his 10 overs,keep that up and he might get into the ODI side hahaha or even the victorian side..

 

[jlo33692]

Mate, the Super Test squad has been picked.

Marto isn't in it. End of story.

Come on Donny you know he can still find a way in eheheheLOL

 

[Jono]

Damn Freddy isn't playing tomorrow against Victoria. I'll have to wait until the first ODI to see him live.

 

[Shahid_afridi]

which channel is going to show the super series?(satellite)

 

[cameeel]

Yeah, i'm looking forward to see him play, i'm going to the Second ODI on Friday night.

 

[superkingdave]

given the selection for the game against Victoria it appears that the final XII (pretty much as we expected) will look something like this

Sehwag
Gayle
Kallis
Lara
Dravid/Pietersen
Flintoff
Sangakarra
Pollock
Akhtar
Murali
Ntini(Vettori)

Super Sub: Afridi
Seems a straight shoot out between Dravid or Pietersen for the last batting place, probably leaning towards Dravid. And Ntini or Vettori based on the track, from the comments its clear Flintoff was rested whilst Vettori was left out.

Gee, you're so hard done by....!

 

[superkingdave]

Shoaib hit Freddie on the arm in the nets, practicing for the England tour no doubt

Given Gayle and Dravid were added late to the squad I would hope KP is ahead of both of them. I'd certainly have KP ahead of Dravid, especially as the side looks light on players who can hammer the attack in the late overs.

 

[Blaze]

Akhtar, Murali and Ntini.

That tail is too long IMO. Vettori should play. (No NZ bias coming through)

 

[superkingdave]

well tbh if they played Pietersen and Dravid and dropped Ntini they'd still have Pollock, Akhtar, Flintoff, Murali and Gayle/Kallis/Sehwag plus Afridi as supersub
