Story Champions Series...on Cricket 2005

[ashu2411]

After the match Michael Slater got hold of A. Garg who has been named Vice - Captain of World Champion Ausralian Team. This is the conversation they had:

MS: Congratulations on being named the vice-captain of Australian team. What do you think are your main responsibilities on this new job.
AG: Thanks Michael. I am really excited on this new responsibility and I am happy that the Australian management has shown confidence in my capabilities as leader. As a vice-captain I think my main job is to help my captain in having and maintaining a smooth relationship with other team members so that we can play as a unit and give our best for the success of Ausralian team. I will also be wiling to give all kind of support to my bowlers and batsmen in both presence and absence of our captain.

MS: You had a bad start to the season. Any comments?
AG: Yes it was disappointing to be dismissed cheaply but we won in the end and that is what matters for me. I think Balaji played really well for his half century and we are really happy with the way he played today.

MS: What do you think are your chances in the tournament?
AG: Yes we have many new players in the team and many of them are making their debut. But I think we have got a very good team who has the capability to beat any team in the world. Moreover we have some experienced guys also in the team and we were the world champions on last two occassions so anyone will consider Australia as the favoirites of the Champions Series. As a whole I am very confident we will win the cup.

MS: Thanks Garg it was really nice to have your interview. Have anice day.
AG: No problem and thanks Very much

Newly appointed Australian Coach, Dean Sherr, aka aus5892 has arrived in England after a long flight from Melbourne. He granted Michael Roberts an exclusive interview at the airport.

MR: Welcome to England Dean, how've you been holding up?
DS: Great Michael, I'm really looking forward to my first series as coach, and it will be a beauty with 3 great One Day sides up against us.
MR: What do you think of your chances?
DS: Certainly good, we've just defeated the World XI, but this will not be any easier, as these guys are working as a team and will be determined to give us a scare.
MR: What did you think of the warm up match?
DS: I thought it was very exciting and I was glad to see us come out on top in the end, I can only hope that we can continue some good form in the opening match against a quality side in England.
MR: Can you give us a preview of the selection dillema at you MWaugh's table?
DS: Well it's very tough to pick 11 players in a match but we will be trying to pick the best possible side for the match and anyone not selected will be closely evaluated at training to see if they can get back in the team. I was very pleased with most of the team's effort, and the lower scorers will be assesed as necessary.
MR: Thank you for the interview and good luck in the series.
DS: Thanks Michael, see you in a bit. I'm off to hit the sack now, I've got some bad jetlag.
