Super Conspiracy?

Australia has annihilated the World XI in the Super Series ODIs. They were under tremendous pressure after losing the Ashes. Aussies had everything to lose, but World XI had nothing to gain.

World XI looked out of sorts. Now that the series is over, many cricketing psychiatrists will explain why World XI lost and give their rubbish theories, but the fact is the selection criteria was more on popularity/market value and less on performances. The selectors were awed by the stars and pressuried by some cricket boards to include certain players. Shane Bond's absence was absolutely shocking! He has recovered from injury and made a strong comeback against India and has shown he can still bowl at 150 Kmph and swing the ball. He can still take heaps of wickets and win matches for his team. Sadly, his outstanding record against Australia was also ignored because they had to include "stars". He has troubled the Australian batsman more than the other World XI pacers. He has picked 22 wickets in 6 matches at an average 10.45 and a strike rate of 15.00 against Australia. The result is evident from the fact all the World XI fast bowlers struggled against the Aussies.

I wonder, somewhere, Bangladesh would be laughing at the World XI. In contemporary cricket, things aren't the way they appear on face value. Some morons can again brag about how only India can beat Australia. Ironically, Australia has won 8 out of last 9 ODIs against India and they even won the recent test series in India.
