It is clear that the Australians are very vulnerable. Gilchrist is a shadow of himself at 36. Hayden always does well against mediocre bowling but struggles against good controlled seam or real pace. Gros Islet has not produced big scores and the ball moves around. Getting two early wickets and exposing Ponting to the new ball is key. So Ntini holds the key to this match. An early explosive spell can leave Australia a couple of wickets down. Pollock will also be fired up and must realize that the Australians struggle in grass. Gibbs and De Villiers or Hall and DeVilliers should open with Smith one-drop and Kallis two drop.
