That match sucked. One sided competitions aren't much of a spectacle.

Predictions for todays game?
I think Bangladesh will bat first. Get 180ish. 8 wicket win by NZ. Big hit out by McCullum and Taylor.

Either that or he'll give the credit to his players for showing resilience. :) :) I think NZ and Oz have the same problem in the current series on both sides of the Tasman - we're playing such weak opposition that it hides the flaws in team composition, and in individual player technique.

The Pakistanis don't help themselves with comments like this:
Former Pakistan captain Imran Khan has described the Australian team as one of the weakest he has seen in years. "This is one of the weakest Australian teams I have seen play, they are still recovering from the loss of some great players but they are surviving because of their strong domestic structure," Imran said during a cricket show on Geo New Channel on Sunday.Imran, who played 88 tests and 175 one-day internationals, said the biggest problem affecting Pakistan cricket was a weak domestic structure. "That is why we are not thriving despite having so much raw talent. We should have beaten this Australian team in the recent series," he said.(http://af.reuters.com/article/sportsNews/idAFJOE61607Q20100207)


I think Australia's middle order battling always looks vulnerable, but they do think and play as a team, so the bowlers will dig deep to defend a poor target, the batsmen push hard to chase above-par targets. Other countries' teams seem to show individual brilliance but not have the same team spirit (or is that a "pack mentality"? :D ).

On the local scene, who would not have enjoyed watching Auckland fail in their sudden death overs against the McCullums, and then the pulverisation by CD - even in that pathetic excuse for a cricket stadium in NP, don't CD have a more suitable ground for a national grand final in Napier or Palmy or Wanganui?

But he's probably right. This is a comparatively weak Aussie side.
