Hello everybody again, this thread is related to only live matches and information about those matches. The Other thread is for Administrative purposes(i.e. selection of players, team meetings, etc.)

All must be knowing that "PLANETCRICKET ROckeRS"(to be reffered as PCR) will play an Exibition match against World Oneday XI at the LORDS, the headquartersof Cricket. What better place to celecratethe birth of PCR?

Supplementary tickets have been sold out even before the decision of the Match date..This is ofcourse a huge boost for PCR.

Mike hunt has been really helpful for creating a batting paradise. I talked to him and he said "Hey das, Batting wicket is a must for lords, we also want PCR to start in a rocketting fashion (smiles), just pray rain is not invited to this auspicious occasion(smiles again and retires)"

So many young players in the team, so female fans is a must, and to keep an eye on them, ofcourse their families..........see the logic.

It has been officially confirmed that Shane warne would lead the team for WOXI. But its not good new for Indian fans, BCCI has refused to allow player to join the WOXI, so no Indian players.......

Shane Warne has just attended a Press conference here are some excerpts:

Reporter - What are your expectations from the new team?
Shane - I have seen the team and talked to their administrator, it looks a good stroong batting side with promising youngsters. Only glitch is that I think they are a weaker bowling side comparitively.

Reporter- U have been made the captain, So what are your strategies?
Shane - As an Australian I have never learned to ignore the opposition, We have some tricks up our sleeve. This team can never be ignored even though it is new in the arena.

Reporter - We have heard u wont have the services of Sachin, Sehwag and Dravid. Any comments?
Shane - We all know the class the class of Sachin and Dravid and Bomb within Sehwag, that is itching to explode. So we are goin to dearly miss them, but having said this we have enough class players to beat any team in the world.

Reporter - Finally, whom do u place the bet on?
Shane - (smiles), Who dosent wanna bet on the team which has Shane?? Thank you.
