Yes perhaps the ball swings less in Australia but give Brett Lee a white ball under lights and he is menacing.
puddleduck said:That's the thing with Odi cricket, in theory anyone can beat anyone otherwise Bangaldesh would never have beaten the Aussies back in England. It certainly doesn't always happen as more often than not the side with the most quality will come out on top, but it only takes one or two players having the games of their life, or even a few players being appaling for the favourites to come unstuck. Still, my money is not on England despite that![]()

Even if we do blood players, we'll still win.davefryer said:Australia won't win 'cos they've proved everything they wanted to and will be blooding some new guys. Will go close though.
I actually watched the Wheelabarraback thirds yesterday and they kept their heads up longer than the U.K. national team. lol.
Maybe bowling-wise, but as shown by the S.L match, the batting simply is not good enough.irottev said:When we put out best side on the park, we are up there as one of the best sides. It's just getting Bondy, Oram, Scotty and Millsy on the field.If we can do alright the first few games, we will have a shot once the latter 3 players come over.

i'd say thats very very optimistic sureshot.Sureshot said:Out of 48 games as captain we've won 25 under Vaughan, losing 17.
If we get together and if Monty performs (We've never had wicket taking spinner in ODIs) then we have an outside chance.
