World XI, Australia XI Super Series
Gayle, Clark in, Afridi, McGrath out for 2nd ODI

MELBOURNE—West Indies’ Chris Gayle will replace Shahid Afridi of Pakistan in the World XI squad for the second one-day international of the International Cricket Council (ICC) Super Series against Australia here Friday.
The 12-man squad has already been picked and the Supersub will be confirmed before the toss, an official release said.
The Super Series comprises three one-day internationals played at the Telstra Dome here Oct 5, 7 and 9 followed by a six-day Test match at the Sydney cricket ground Oct 14-19.
Australia won the first one-dayer by 93 runs to take a 1-0 lead in the series.
Australia pace bowler Glenn McGrath has been rested for the second one-day international against the World XI and replaced by Stuart Clark, Cricket Australia said on Thursday.
The 35-year-old McGrath spearheaded a four-pronged Australian seam attack that strangled the World XI and bowled them out for 162 when chasing 256 for victory in the first match at Melbourne’s Docklands Stadium on Wednesday.
McGrath, who complained of tightness in his legs after the match, bowled a miserly opening seven-over spell for only 13 runs and took the wickets of Virender Sehwag and Jacques Kallis to set up Australia’s crushing win.
Clark, who was called into the Ashes squad in England as cover for the injured McGrath, is set to make his international debut.
Leg spinner Cameron White, who was the supersub for the first match and made his debut when he replaced Damien Martyn during the World XI’s innings, was also named in the side.
The world team also made one change with West Indies left-hander Chris Gayle coming in for Pakistan’s Shahid Afridi, who was the supersub in the first match.
Teams: Australia: Ricky Ponting (Captain), Nathan Bracken, Stuart Clark, Michael Clarke, Adam Gilchrist, Michael Hussey, Simon Katich, Brett Lee, Damien Martyn, Andrew Symonds, Shane Watson, Cameron White.
World XI: Shaun Pollock (Captain), Brian Lara (Vice-Captain), Shoaib Akhtar, Rahul Dravid, Andrew Flintoff, Chris Gayle, Jacques Kallis, Muttiah Muralidaran, Kevin Pietersen, Kumar Sangakkara, Virender Sehwag and Daniel Vettori.
