That's the D*ream over then. Fizzled out a bit.

Well played Oz.

LOL, Bracken pulled it off. 3/43.

yeah he didn't bowl too badly, he bowled quite a few full tosses though which wasn't good

 

[age_master]

Yep. Holed out to Watson off Clarke.

Clark maybe, clarke didn't bowl

What's the * for?

Disappointing, the World XI were in a very good position before the Sangakkara runout. Despite the rhetoric it's pretty obvious that in World XI matches the focus is inevitably going to be on individual rather than team performances, but none of the World XI players have been particularly brilliant thus far. Sangakkara's really been the only one to impress in both matches, a number of others (Vettori, Gayle, Murali etc.) have been quite solid but the vast majority have underperformed. Oh well, I guess the fact that (from the World XI point of view) team performances are immaterial means that the dead rubber shouldn't be as boring as usual.

So ROW has preferred Gayle over Sehwag putting Gayle as the super sup when they could have put Sehwag in the same position. So according to the ROW selectors and the team management of ROW Sehwag>Gayle opposed to the view of some members on the forum.

What is the meaning of this post?

Of course the selectors preferred Sehwag over Gayle, because they picked Sehwag in the first place, which lead to the discussions that they'd got the wrong man, which more and more people are stating...

Should be enough to win even without our 3 best bowlers.

3 best?

McGrath yes, but who are the other 2, and how are they better ODI bowlers than Lee?

 

[marc71178]

Gayle gone to Watson, silly shot from the sounds of things - this brings either Lara, Kallis or Dravid to the crease!! Well batted CHG, a fantastic little knock, even if it could have lasted a bit longer.

EDIT: It's Kallis.

I think they missed a trick there.

With such a long lineup, maybe sending someone like Flintoff or Pietersen in at that point would've worked better - continue to score the runs quickly and get the game away from Australia. It was during a power play wasn't it?

 

[marc71178]

Jacques Kallis, what are you doing? For the team, you tart.

Why change the habit of a lifetime?

Really showing my age now, but there used to be a v poor dance act over here called D*Ream (pronounced dee-ream); I adopted the habit of saying "the D*ream's over" instead of "the dream's over" & it's stuck.

That concludes today's history lesson, children.

Haha, okay. I usually get your allusions, but that one had me confused.

Ah, MacGill is a much better bowler than anyone else on the paddock and I cant remember the other guy's name but he is a fat, blonde **** if that's any help.

Lara should have gone in ahead of Kallis, that would have been enough for mine he certainly knows how to score runs

 

[marc71178]

Warne's retired from ODIs and MacGill has played a grand total of 3.

How can they be 2 of your 3 best ODI bowlers?

Anyway, 2 matches and 2 hammerings.

Amazing what motivation a series loss can be for a team.

World X1 needs to look at their batting order - both Lara and Dravid (in particular) are batting too low.

 

[Burpey]

Wow, we won the series! Good on the Aussie boys, great effort. The World XI were very disappointing though

Warne will play in the next WC and MacGill continues to receive the worst treatment of any bowler in world cricket.

 

[marc71178]

So how does that make them better ODI bowlers than Lee then?

 

[andyc]

This is hardly going to increase the crowd at the final on Sunday

How can Macgill be our best bowler when he cant even make the team.


Anti Macgill personally...
