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.

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.

Might be hard running between the wickets with Bevo - he carries a bat and a walking stick.

All hail Scott Styris. Smacks 103 off 122 balls then takes 2 for 2 off two overs!

Oh, his wicket against the night-watchman is almost immaterial.

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.

To be honest I havnt seen much of Styris play, so i'll take your word for it. All I know is that they need to bring back Chris Harris!

New Zealand will be over here for the VB series in January 2007.

You can see then. Against England and Australia, I reckon Styris will collapse.

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.


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.
