Aussies will take on Rest of the world on 5, 7, & 9 th Oct in Melbourne in Super series Part 1 (Part 2 being a super test).. not in MCC but in an indoor stadium.. Expecting a low score game

Sewag will open with Chris Gayle Cant wait till tomorrow

um... is this cricket? im australian and ive nvr heard of it!!

at the risk of being eaten alive by my fellow australians

hahah.. its cricket..right  under your nose

I hope the World XI win.  Then the Aussies would have lost two series in a row.  (After we won the Ashes)

Aussie bookies say that the aussies are the underdogs.

Wtf .... win for 3 - 4 yrs straight ur awesome .... u loose 1 series and you are an underdog
Give em some credit ppl

Anyways its gonna be awesome imo and i think aussies are gonna win

Yeah but they are extremly small .... in the sence the are just barely begining.
They did qualify for the WC once or twice but nothing much to say about there. They made very low scores against the big teams .... well you cant expect new teams to make 200 against 1st grade teams can you (if they do good for them .... but you cant expect it)

oh really? thats strange, i did not know canada had a team , i thought it was mostly asian teams..whose the strongest one?

Ausies defeat World XI by 93 runs
See you on 8th Aussie

At present Australia is the best one !

To be honest, i'm Australian, and i've watched every single one of their games...they DO deserve to be the underdogs.

Yeh, you give credit where credit is due...and Australia of course, deserve it! But, the loss of form of 5 players in Gillespie, Kasprowicz, Martyn, Hayden and Gilchrist is huge. The way they lost the ashes was depauable...yeh ok...England won 2-1 and one of the tests they won by 2-3 runs...but, England really should have won at least 3 tests with the way Australia played. Ausralia didn't deserve to win a match.

They only play in the World Cup, one of their players comes from Australia...think his name is Tom Davidson...




Did anyone hear that Mcgrath won't be playing tomorrow? He injured himself so Stuart Clark will be taking his place. It'll be his debut for Australia.


Just another thing i wanted to point out. You see how Flintoff was bashed around the ground?...bouncy pitches dont suit Flintoff He had that problem when England toured here last time. That could be a HUGE factor in the test.
