England fans must look at this a good thing. New Zealand are a decent ODI side and yet, they too have been on the wrong end of a typical Aussie thrashing. 105 runs! That's going to hurt. And New Zealand even took a hatrick in the final over.
Is there a team in the world that can compete with the Baggy Greens? I'm not sure there is. Cold comfort it might be for England but this result does put England's defeat into some sort of context. At least England lost by fewer runs and made it through all 50 overs with men still standing. We didn't score enough runs...about 30 or 40 light I reckon.
Australia are rampant, confident and only several major injuries will dent their ability to run through unbeaten in this ODI series and the forthcoming World Cup.
And so, on Tuesday NZ take on England at the same ground. Both sides will be eager to win easily. Whatever the result, one thing is certain; Australia can beat them both.
