If Australia bat 1st i reckon McGrath will be the super -sub since they will want to extend their batting but & McGrath would just come in to bowl in the R.O.W innings. But if they bat second then i reckon Hussey will be the sub since this time Australia will want to utilise all their bowling options in Lee/McGrath/Bracken/Tait/Watson/White/Symonds so Hussey may come in for McGrath.

Have you forgoten that the supersub is named before the toss and therefore they will not know whether they are batting first or second when naming their super sub?

The supersub will probably be Watson or White.

Bloody stupid rule it is too. The supersub would be much for effective if named AFTER the toss. Who the hell came up with the brainwave to make it BEFORE the toss? :dry:

I would go with Watson.

But because Ponting is a bit of a moron, it will probably be Symonds or something out of left field! :p

Haha! Likely. He should make himself the supersub so someone else can captain on the field then he can just bat.

I'll stop dissing him if he creams the World XI bowling tomorrow.

And if he wins the toss and bats.

And if he makes White or Watson the supersub.

All of those have to happen. :p

I think the reason they do it is so that they get the majority of it in prime time and all that. People getting home from work can see more of it that way.

Personally I think the whole idea is a waste of time - go back to proper 11 a side Cricket.

What will happen is, they'll finish the trial in 9 months and then realise that there needed to be a few changes and do it again. :blink:

Dunno about video, but go here:

http://www.abc.net.au/cricket/default.htm

There ought to be a "live audio" link somewhere on the page. You will see there now is a box on the right saying "Listen Live - Our audio stream of ABC Grandstand's call of the cricket from 2:00pm AEST Wednesday" (04:00 GMT), so they're definitely doing live commentary.

Hmmm, this could be a run-fest tomorrow. With all respect to lee, white etc, the only tight bowler in that team is Mcgrath and if Watson/ Symonds aren't on the game they will get absolutely murdered by the v long batting line up. I can't wait... :D
