Group A: Australia v West Indies at Johannesburg Sep 26 2009 (ICC Champions Trophy)

[TheParraboy]

Starts this Saturday, its a day game over there so a 5.30pm start here AEST

Are we really defending champions? Cant even remember us winning this tournament last time, so a bit weird going into this competition as defending champions

We should kill the WI in this first game, then have India in a couple of days time, followed by Pakistan

Wonder if Hilfy has replaced Bracken as a permanent bowler in the ODI side?

My side would be

Sunshine
Paine
Ponting
Clarke
Ferguson
Hussey
White
Hopes or Hauritz
Johnson
Lee
Bracken

 

[Didgi]

Anyone know if it is going to be on the radio, as I dont have access to pay TV.

 

[Chook Herron]

If it is, it'll be on ABC

 

[Chook Herron]

Actually they'll be covering the footy so probably not

 

[Collingwood Storm]

Bracken is out of the tournament and Clarke isn't playing tonight with back problems.

Team will most likely be...

Watson
Paine
Ponting
White
Ferguson
Hussey
Hopes
Johnson
Lee
Hauritz
Siddle

 

[lockyno1]

Clarke out is good, scores too slowly in ODI's, completely stuffs up the middle order. Would rather Hilfenhaus than Siddle

 

[aussies1st]

It will be the same lineup that we used when Clarke was out last time so Hussey at 4, Ferguson 5 and White 6.

 

[Didgi]

If it is, it'll be on ABC

Yeah I know, I'll check their local station, otherwise maybe they'll be broadcasting online or through the CA site.

Actually they'll be covering the footy so probably not

Through the Ashes and Natwest they went to the cricket after, so I'm hopeful they'll do the same here.

 

[micheljonshon]

Yeah. I am really looking forward to it. Most probably Aus is gonna win .

 

[Ridders]

Yeah. I am really looking forward to it. Most probably Aus is gonna win .

We have a winner for understatement of the decade

 

[eddiesmith]

Hopefully Australia bat first for the good of the game

 

[African Monkey]

We have a winner for understatement of the decade

lol

 

[eddiesmith]

:lol: :lol: Watto :lol: :lol: Cant even make runs against the Windies 3rd string hacks :lol:

 

[aussies1st]

What is going on with Watson

 

[wittyfan]

Great knock by Sunshine!

 

[Ridders]

Umm, wtf is our batting lineup doing?

 

[hineyrulz]

Umm, wtf is our batting lineup doing?

Making the Windies look good......

 

[aussies1st]

WTF this is embarrassing, Hopes definitely shouldn't be batting any higher than 8.

 

[TheParraboy]

7/174 - 41 overs

thank christy WI got no batsman :sarcasm:

 

[Ridders]

Yeah, we should role them for about 80.
