I get the feeling there's a lot of hype about the Aussie domestic game.
OHH right because if they dont do well in English conditions far from home then they obviously can't be any good!
A couple of points.

1. Didd'nt I hear people saying that Clarke was overated because he didd'nt do well in England? And we all remember the calls on Tait.

2. I personaly belive the Vic selectors should be shot and I dont personaly like Moss in the team but he comes in handy every now and again, mind you no other team in Aus would pick him in the 11 (he only came to Vic because he could'nt get a game for NSW).

3. There is much evidence to the contary. For instance the likes of Ian Harvey and Phil Jaques have gone to England and dominated and then not been able to reproduce back in Aus (Jaques is starting to now).
