I am quite satisfied with that series win against India.
With quite a few players missing up against a full strength (or close
to) Indian team, I think Aus played quite well. A few new players came
in and did alright. Alot of the bowlers did better M. Johnson.

Also alot of people did not know the series was being played as there
were no real bad headliners from any of the matches.

it was Australia A, not Australia (who were missing about 10 players)

If there were anymore injured players they would have to re-call Andrew
Symonds. That would of made the series interesting.

First match: Flat track: Aus batted first won match
2nd match: Flat track: Ind batted first and won match
3rd match: low, slow track: Aus batted first and lost the match
4th match: Flat track: Aus batted first and won match
5th match: Flat track: Aus batted first and won match
6th match: low, slow track: Ind batted first and lost match

Isn't the pattern clearly visible?

Yes, first the Champions Trophy and then putting the Indians
back into their box at home. That pattern appears to be 'clearly
visible' demented one

Losing home ODI series to RSA and India is perhaps not so visible,
blinded one.

Good win by the Aussies. Although people point out that it was an A
side, if you really look at it most of the injured players were
bowlers...ya Clarke wasn't around but his being in the team wouldn't
have made much of a difference to the batting any way coz the batting
was pretty solid. Given the nature of the pitches (4 out of 6 flat
ones) Australia didn't need their frontline bowlers. Even if they had
their frontline bowlers it wouldn't have made a huge difference
because there was nothing on the surface for them to exploit. But
since the batting department wasn't affected, Aus were able to play
like they were playing their full strength side.
Of course the above does not take away any credit from the Aussies at
all. Its just an observation. The series was well fought out except
for today's game.

If your simplistic analysis had any substance, the teams would recognise it,
know what to do and thus the team winning the toss would win every match.
However only two of the six matches went in favour of the toss winner. Why
is that? Are they incapable of understanding the sophistication of your
method?

Pardon??
You've got that completely arse-about. It's when the track is dodgy that
you don't need your top-liners. When it's flat is precisely when you need
the best as they're probably the best because they don't bowl as many bad
balls *plus* can get more out of the deck.

Crackingly original!
I suspect that you're just jealous Donny. Well nevermind, in a few short
years you'll be tall enough to see yourself in the bathroom mirror. Unless
of course you're a physical midget as well...

It cracks me no end that you have resorted to personal abuses as a

Alvey, none of the Aussie frontlines are anywhere near a Wasim,
Murali, Waqar, Warne, McGrath, Ambrose or Kumble to do great things on
flat decks. So even if Australia had Lee, Hilfy, Siddle, Johnson all
fit the bowlers can't do much. One days are won by batsmen. Bowlers do
influence games and win quite a few but over an entire 7 match series
with 4-5 flat decks there's not much they can do.

Why do they still pick bowlers then? Surely 11 batsmen would be best.

Admitting that you're cracked is the first step. Well done.

Kumble did great things on flat decks??? What was it? Hamlet or Othello?

You are perfectly entitled to your opinion. Even if it is silly.
