i dont know who uses how much brain writing abt these things....would gilchrist, ponting, clark, symonds have bowled and won the match for australia? its not the batting that has a problem, its bowling is deteriorating because they kept playing all old guys and never gave young players chance against best teams...Now with Mcgrath already mentally retired and Warne fully retired,, all they have is a brett lee who is a decent one-day bowler.....even he cant win games on his own,, in short, its a victory of NZ's discovery of the weakness in AUS.
