Are the Windies better than we thought, the Aussies worse than we thought, or is this just an anomaly that we can ignore?
We've looked weak all Summer against two sides that really shouldn't trouble the reigning WTC holder.
Green doesn't look ready to me. I wonder whether we should persist with him or go for a specialist batsmen instead. The batting allrounder spot is filled with a better alternative in Marsh. Labuschagne's form is concerning though his place isn't in danger. Our batsmen are doing just enough to keep their spots. Smith going big as opener is one of the few wins I'll take out of this Summer.
I'm not filled with a lot of confidence going into the NZ test series.
