Ways to beat the OZ

 Don’t get intimated by them, try to hit at them like what England and New Zealand did, not like what India did during the 2003 World Cup
 Dad’s army tag is finally getting to them, all the top 4 big chases has been against them
 Their once strong bowing lineup is at its weakest, Warne has retired and Lee is injured. Even the great McGrath is too old and guys like Tait, Johnson, Bracken, Watson, Clarke and Hogg can be smashed across the ground
 Make sure you get their top 3 out quickly and then bring in the spinners and the slow medium guys, see the effect of Karim during the last World Cup
 They do not have a Steve Waugh to bring them victories from the jaws of defeat and Hussey may be Mr. Cricket, but he is no Michael Bevan
 Their ego is too big and it’s easy to inflate it
 Do the unconventional thing and just don’t be bothered about their sledging as they cannot do anything as their have lost their fire
