South Africa play ODIs in Australia without 3 key players (Ntini, Kallis, Nel) and make competitive scores and some good performaces. Australia lose 3 key players, and they get

Nah, Australia have just chosen a shit team for the SA team, i dont know how you leave it Gillespie, Tait, and then take Martyn, and that other dude, Bring back Bevan everythin should be fine, bevo and lehmann.tasha1188 said:haha...thats funny...australia building...they cant even win a game overseas...and they are getting their butts kicked in SA...all out for 93...thats pathetic...i rkn australia have a lot of work to do with the 2007 WC next year...we need to learn not to rely on Ponting...without him we're getting ours butts kicked...our top order batsmen have a lot of wrk to do...especially gilly and katy...and aussie really need ponting and symonds back in the team if we wanna win this series...

As for the india match it ended up in a draw, interesting match. If only sehwag didnt get out for a duck india would have won. India 200 off 25 overs, and they went for it, but bad light and only a falling wickets, so it didnt happen.
I think for Australia - Katich,CLarke,Hussey, Ponting, thats the middle order, openers, jacques and gilchrist (perhaps hayden), then bowlers, lee,gillespie,tait,hogg and mcgrath. killer bowling attack.

Warnie and McGrath are both older than Bevo. Add to that Bevos extreme fitness. So neh.

Oh, his wicket against the night-watchman is almost immaterial.copious said:
But nabbing Gayle was a big blow for the Windies.
Styris is a pretender, copious. He goes good against the poor teams, but as soon as he comes up against quality, he invariably almost always fails.
@tasha1188,
Kasprowicz coming into the squad and replacing Bracken is one of the worst selection decisions since the turn of the millenium.
Bracken was Australia's leading wicket-taker in the VB Series. He has been the only bowler apart from Brett Lee showing signs that he can actually take wickets.
Kasprowicz is selected based on his current domestic form .. why wasn't Dizzy Gillespie chosen, then? He's taken something like 25 wickets at about 20 since he was dumped during the Ashes .. that is more than solid.
I'll say now that unless Warne and Lee perform miracles, Australia will lose the Test series. Or draw it at best.

maybe hard to say.. first lets see how england handle india in the ODIS. At the moment England are struggling against Indian bowlers 5/200 pretty bad against India. ALthough no trecothick or vaughan, cook played really well.DRAGONZ said:
if england struggle in the ODIS against India, i think New Zealand have a gud chance to be placed in the VB FInals

i reckon.... bracken has been the outstanding one day bowler recently, filling the pigeons shoes admirably, lee has gone off the boil a bit, and his death bowling has been quite shocking. also the selectors must love that .2 or somehitn average difference bwtween gillespie and kaspa.
