I would be interested to see how many of Kumars runs were scored in the sub continent though?

ere we go:

Mat Runs HS BatAv 100 50 W BB BowlAv 5w Ct St

Career 50 3698 270 48.02 8 18 0 - - 0 119 18
In SL/PAK 31 2113 232 46.95 5 10 0 - - 0 82 17

he's never played a test match in india or bangladesh, so his sub-continent stats are limited to lanka and pak only.

his average away from home is higher than his average on the slow turners on the sub-continent. he must be burning on missing out for this one.

 

[Bookie]

I'm surprised Sangakkaras actually played 50 tests...

 

[mcs]

I would of picked Kumar- more on the fact he has kept to Murali rather then any difference between Boucher and Kumar's batting. Should be an enthralling match- hopefully will see the World XI play a lot better though.

 

[redruM]

lol, i bet we'll see boucher score a matchwinning century or some shit

 

[king_of_boredom]

HEY

whens the next time the aussies play the proteas? methinks its been a while.

 

[Cityboy]

Well if it was down to me I'd have picked AB de Villiers

You would pick South Africas back up keeper who has only played about 10 tests to play in the world 11, would might as well picked Geriant Jones, or Carlton Bourgh (or however you spell it)

They picked Pietersen after 8 months in the game.

And no, you wouldn't pick Geraint Jones or Carlton Baugh because they do not have test averages of 56 and they have not taken test wickets AND they are not 21.

 

[tim price]

and geraint jones is one of the worst keepers to graze the cricket field.

australia to win the super test on day 4.

 

[tasha1188]

yay the cricket on tonite...i cant believe grahme smith, the world xi test captian, is only 24 and is already captain...he is so little...anyways moving on....aust will win the test series clean sweep and the world xi will be totally embarassed...haha...but they will put up a good game *fingers crossed*

 

[Italian Hotshot]

I am still trying to understand why Ul-Huq is in the side, he hasn't done much of late at all. Younnis Khan or Chanderpaul have had great years - with high Test averages for '05 and very consistent performances.

 

[redruM]

there was a reason why inzamam was nominated for player of the year.

his 2005 stats:

Name                Mat    I  NO  Runs   HS     Ave     SR 100 50   Ct St Team
Inzamam-ul-Haq        4    8   2   568  184   94.66  69.52   2  3    1  - PAK (Tests)
Inzamam-ul-Haq       19   18   4   704   74   50.28  90.14   -  8    5  - PAK/ASIA-XI (ODI)

This games a fucking joke. Pollocks not in it. I hope it rains and the concept dies.

 

[redruM]

lol. i just realised your av

boucher struggled. flintoff still seems to be hungover. gilly played like his old self.

cant wait for sunday, look for me. i'll be the guy holding this banner:

(hopefully, the sponsor logos will make it work)

 

[Bookie]

Will keep an eye out. The sponsors have to work. If you have the time, stick Johnny Walker on as well.

lol will be watching for ur banner

flintoff is just too tired after the ODI's, I think its just the after effects of teh ashes. Harmison was tonnes better today.

It will be interesting to see if the World XI can get off to a good start with Sehwag and Smith. If they do then they can make a good fist of it, otherwise, 6 days won't be required

the prick is too much of an effort to draw out. i'll see if i can do it after work tmw night.

 

[Bookie]

i'm surprised [looking at stats] that Kallis only got 7 overs.

Are you kidding, Kalis was the worst bowler all day, he got carted even Vetorri bowled better than he did
