The problem with that is their batsmen, keeper and spinner aren't in the same league as ours so we are currently much better than the Aussies.

Funny game though so it might not quite pan out like that.

I still see us winning by at least two tests though if we don't become complacent. Clarke is their big danger but he can't win matches alone.

What about their seamers Vs Jimmy? ****ing joke.

They've got no one anywhere near as good.

Nor as good as Finn either.

They aren't shabby in that department though, it's the rest where they really lack. No spinner at all and their batting is weak.
That said, we do need Pietersen back for the series.

Deja Vu... see out another 15 hours of the new ball and as long as we don't lose any more wickets, I think 300+ is more than do-able, will depend heavily on Root, Bairstow and Prior, [I]the tail can wag but doesn't all time[/I]..

And certainly isn't today.
 
near enough what i said yesterday then, close to collapse so the longer they can hold out the better now. who knows though... you only ever know how bad until the first innings for new zealand is completed.
