<p>Still think we're a strong chance in the WC. We're trying all sorts of different things at the moment. Think the CBA series was a definite aberration, but with half the first-choice team missing and the batting order changing every match, I'm just not sure they cared too much about what happened in this series provided the selectors got a look at everyone.</p>Scott Wickstein commented on 'CRUCKET'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341cb34453ef010535e87827970b2007-02-20T12:46:33Z2008-11-12T05:52:56ZScott Wicksteinhttp://www.cricket.mailliw.comCrucket?

He had the 2nd worst economy this game @ 8.8 to Voges who only bowled 3. Even Hogg was better at 5.71. To be fair he just pipped Johnson at 8.1.</p>
<p>It's Watson's bowling that is the problem since he's the designated all rounder. Batting has been impressive I must admit. If he can at least take 3 runs off the econ then he comes into consideration.</p>murph commented on 'CRUCKET'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341cb34453ef01053632fc0b970c2007-02-20T10:56:18Z2008-12-02T22:54:22Zmurphhttp://puntingcommies.blogspot.comYep.

<p>But we haven't seen the complete team in action for some time so the above probs can and will IMO be rectified come WC. I'm not getting it all on the nose for an Oz win come WC but I fancy them in these circumstances going in rather than demolishing the Poms and Kiwis going in.</p>
<p>As we have seen in the last month ODI form is very fickle. When you're on a roll it goes but when you're rocked it's hard to get back up. And the more wins in a row the more losses are your due.</p>
<p>One need only take the All Blacks example going into the last few World Cups to see that WC form is all that counts and no matter how many you win leading up it can all come unstuck pretty quickly. Losses are good to reinforce the pain of losing.</p>

Saffas similar. I discount all three for those reasons and am now blowing them out in the odds.</p>
<p>I like Oz form given that they can mount a huge total (at the moment unable to defend it) and have shown the ability with the right bowling attack to dismantle a team as well. However they must be very angry with themselves and determined to get revenge and reassert their dignity - which just out from the WC is exactly where I'd want them to be.</p>
<p>So, there must be good odds for Oz which I'm inclined to take up but am also looking to the homeside with India worth a look.</p>Scott Wickstein commented on 'CRUCKET'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341cb34453ef010535ee3436970c2007-02-20T09:09:59Z2008-11-12T04:44:39ZScott Wicksteinhttp://www.cricket.mailliw.comAmazingly, Australia are still favourites for the World Cup with the British bookmakers.

<p>Bracken is OK for a couple of overs but isn't swinging it enough to look consistently threatening.</p>
<p>Johnston is innoccuous.</p>
<p>Tait should open.</p>
<p>With any sort of luck Hogg would probably snag the odd wicket.</p>

<p>But I guess it's not fair to single Hogg out. Besides Lee, has there been any Australian bowler showing form in the ODIs? Even Clarke was way too expensive if I recall correctly.</p>Tony.T commented on 'CRUCKET'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341cb34453ef010535e857da970b2007-02-20T02:58:19Z2008-11-12T04:44:22ZTony.Thttp://aftergrogblog.blogs.com/agb/They want a good leg spinner and he's the only one who approaches good AND can bat a bit.
