Actually, it would appear that we've
over estimated Australia. Their bowlers lack firepower, direction and intent. Their batsmen lack confidence and commitment. Their fielding is a joke. Ponting is, as has already been mentioned, increasingly erratic. And the Australian press are crucifying the selectors, the tactics, and just about everything else, thereby decimating what little morale the team had left.
In short, Australia are rubbish. Only a complete collapse by England can save them.
