Australia have long boasted that they could put two teams out to challenge any other country. I do agree they have great depth in batting...but the bowling looks decidedly dodgy......& take McGrath & Warne out....and it`s about as effective as a limp handshake.

Blooding a few of the second stringers in a series like this against NZ is a good idea....One dayers are all very well , but aside from the world cup most of `em are forgotten quickly..........so this is a perfect time to try a few lads out.
