[QUOTE="marts, post: 102516"] I can't agree with you there... (although i would say the same in your situation :P ) Gilchrist has been shithouse lately (gloves and bat), the only bowler you're missing is Lee - Clark is not injured, just not picked. White is a crap bowler... Michael Clarke hasn't been lighting the world on fire either... we we're missing Bond, Oram and Vettori and we still beat you so that evened out IMO. Ponting is a better captain but really we had 5 players out at the start of the CWB series yet we didn't call our team a 'B' Team. Mcgrath didn't get a wicket in the series, Bracken was very expensive as were Watson (who i don't rate at all) and Johnson/Tait. I'm pretty sure Aussie should have a bit more depth missing a few frontline players. All those guys we're playing the CB series finals/last 3 games and they didn't exactly change the result. On another note... who cares how many you concede when you can chase 'em down! I wanted Australia to make 340+ in that game cause i knew they are always good finishes - 4 out of the last 6 C-H games have been 320+ chases for NZ with 3 successful. Chappel-Hadlee series was A LOT more exciting that the CWB series, not just cause we played good but just the general cricket played. The grounds may be smaller but hell, more exciting. MCG is way too f'n big. [/QUOTE]
