[QUOTE="Darwin, post: 613380, member: 24910"] A test average of 35 is a good return for a New Zealand batsman. It is not that impressive on the international stage though. I was very impressed with the maturity Smith displayed in his innings - however he will need a few more innings like that (and need to get his average up into the 40s) before he will be regarded as anything more than a mediocre test batsman in my mind. In general I agree with William18 that this Australian side isn't really that impressive, and generally relies heavily on 1 or 2 batsmen (though Warner is looking pretty handy at the moment!). Obviously they are too good for England (in Australia) but I think they still have some glaring weaknesses that they have not yet fixed.... [/QUOTE]
