Australia v World XI....3rd ODI

[alb]

I see the Aussies serving up another ass whuppin here unless they have to chase a tough total. Katich will probably miss but Mcgrath is expected back. I can't see Pietersen playing so there's a big blow to the XI batting fortay. Lara is a 1-day joke these days and he doesn't look comfortable at all. Gayle won't repeat his stint (mind you....neither will Gilchrist). Kallis looked lost in the last.
Is there a let down question since they already won the ODI series?

Top World Bat; Sangakarra has taken this in the 1st two.....if it ain't broke, why fix it? 5/1

Top Aussie Bat; Does anyone know if Ponting will lead-off if Katich is out (maybe Martyn)? If so, I like him to stick around awhile @ 4/1.
Also curious to know if Hopes is going to be a factor today.

As I said before Game 2, Australia will be going out for the sweep and I see no reason's why the World XI can reverse fortunes.

Soundly beaten in Game 1 by 90+ runs and then agains in game 2 by 50+ runs without having to face McGrath.

Australia will revert to the side in the first one dayer, whilst I expect World XI to start with Gayle and use Afradi as their super sub, although anyone to replace Aktar would be an improvement.

Playing up my winnings from Game 2 on Australia.

Good luck alb.

Hope you are right BB as I basically parlayed my winnings from the last onto this one. I wish I had known Clarke was leading off as I would have taked him top bat for sure....think he was best-priced 8/1. I had a feeling it still wouldn't be Ponting despite Katich being out.

Chit....Clarke gone early.....guess its a good thing I didn't get on.

Looking good so far. Ponting's 68 gets beat and Sangakkara leaves early (very much a surprise) :cursin: :cursin: !

But Lara and Kallis continue to suck with a duck and 2 respectively. Why they would let these clowns on the team for the 3rd ODI is a shocker to me....when they obviously bet Australia. Gayle shows his last was a fluke as he goes for a duck.

Scare for my man Flintoff but I hope he's okay for the test....wouldn't be the same without him.

Side note.....what an awesome 6th wicket for Australia!!
