There will now be a press Conference with Malcom Speed ( Chairman of the ICC) and Ollie Holden (Manager of the World XI). Questions posted by you.
OH: Yes, I do belive it will be a success. The last time this happened these players, met up, played and went home. This time we will be on some long tours and will be playing more than just the solitary test. So the players will have time to bond, No pun intended. They will start to get to know each other and will then play as a team.
MS: May i Just say, Last time this Occured it wasn't a failure.
There is definately a chance that this could happen, Yes. But injuries can occur at any time and is something we will have to deal with, If something like this does happen then we will have to look at the extent of the injury and go from there.
Welcome to the First day at Mohali with this test between India and a World XI,
Here are the teams,
The Pitch Report
Ian Botham; Im down at the pitch with Rameez Raja, Well Rameez this looks like a very good batting track, It might offer a bit of turn to the spinners aswell, It looks as if the teams have noticed this as they both have two spinners,
RR;Yes, i agree Ian, hopefully we will see some big scores posted. Now to the toss,
