Australia's embarrassment of bowling riches
The saying goes 'bowlers win matches, batters save matches'. That would go a long way in explaining why Australia is winning so many matches (and so damn quickly). Not only do they have 3 of the world's top bowlers at the moment (Stephen Fleming labeled Australia?s bowlers as being like three Richard Hadlees and the greatest ever leg spinner). They also have half a dozen or so bowlers who would easily slip into any test side, sniffing away at that 4th spot. At the moment, Kasprowiscz has the spot sewn up. But in any other country, could a bowler (Stuart McGill) take 10 wickets in a test, win man of the match over the captain who scored a double century and then get dropped? And even more amazing, there was universal acceptance when it happened (apart from McGill, of course).
