[QUOTE="ABs2011, post: 668662, member: 57663"] I'm a little confused as to why people think its a disadvantage to play the ABs first. In my mind the ABs tend to play their worst at the start of seasons/tours/series etc,... am I wrong? I feel like as series/tournaments go on, the ABs get better and better. Hence I would have thought teams would prefer to play them first up. A couple of recent examples would be game 1 of RC vs game 2 (dramatic improvement in ABs game from game 1 to game 2 and IMO OZ should have won game 1) & game 1 of ABs/England series vs the rest where England definitely blew a massive chance to win game 1. Am I the only one thinking in general the ABs are at their worst in the early stages of their campaigns? [/QUOTE]
