It was announced on SEN today that Victoria will play a one day warm up match against the ICC World XI on Monday October 3. Venue not yet announced but likely to be at the Junction Oval. This should be another good days cricket in the lead up to the Super Series starting on October 5.

Sounds good!

Will try and get down there if possible - and will be a fair bit cheaper than the very expensive prices for the Aussies v World XI Super Series.

Holy ********

Please tell me we will have a full strength side available, including the best bowler in the world

If this is at the Junction Oval, I hope they shut down the roads around it or else Pietersen, Flintoff especially are going to do some serious damage to any unlucky cars driving past

Although it would be funny if the Vics did better than the Aus team or if a couple of individuals put in strong performances

ICC World XI ODI squad

Shaun Pollock, captain South Africa
Sachin Tendulkar, v-capt India
Virender Sehwag India
Kevin Pietersen England
Brian Lara West Indies
Jacques Kallis South Africa
Herschelle Gibbs South Africa
Andrew Flintoff England
Kumar Sangakkara Sri Lanka
Shahid Afridi Pakistan
Shoaib Akhtar Pakistan
Makhaya Ntini South Africa
Muttiah Muralitharan Sri Lanka
Daniel Vettori New Zealand

This is the squad, will likely see most, if not all in action throughout the day, should be a great day, I cant wait

Atleast School goes back that day so wont be to many annoying school kids around

This will quite possibly be the most hilarious game of cricket ever played. Too bad they won't telecast it. I wonder if Hodge will make a negative score against a side with so many decent bowlers!

Never know with you, ed- Warne retired from one day internationals- doubt he would play there....but Flintoff is in the World side...which one did you mean?

And at your favourite ground, too- you taking your cross of St George out with you?

Warney plays for Victoria whenever he isnt playing Tests, so he is a chance, atleast this wont be like the NZ game where the Vics were all playing State cricket at the same time so we fielded a 2nd XI

Warney is the best bowler, Freddie the best all rounder

I'm tipping Hodge might be in Pakistan for the Australia A Tour unless he is included in the Australian One Day squad.

I'm sure the Australian ODI squad will be full of NSW 2nd XI players such as Thornley, Nicholson, Bracken etc I'm still waiting for Gavin Robertson to make a comeback.....

Should be good experience for the Vics, even though we will probably get smashed.

We're gonna get rooted. But with Hodgie and co playing, we might only lose by less than 100 runs.

as much as i hate to say it. the vics will get smashed. Wont have anyone with international expierience if warne doesnt play. Elliot, Harvey gone. Hodge with aussie a team. this could be very embarrassing. go vics...

eddiesmith

18 Sep 2005, 00:41

Good o isnt that the last thing the Australians need not that Eddie cares of course but a Victorian team to play superstars such as Pollock, Tendulkar and Vettori into their game
Victorians will lose heavily i can just see Mick Lewis bowling Tendulkar Harvey bowling Pollock
In completly unrelated news, yes Pigs can actually fly!

Harvs is gone

The Vics have been far from embarrasing against touring teams in the past, wont be any different here, hell our Development XI did well against the Kiwis last year at the Albert Ground

And Hodgey will be playing as the Aus A tour ends the week before freak29
