Holy &#% Didn't realise NZ was quite so rank, when did we fall that far below Pakistan & the Windies ?

Think Imran Tahir will make a huge difference. He's an actual wicket taker, unlike Harris, and will mean that there's still some bowling pressure after Steyn and Morkel finish the opening bowling.

I'm not entirely sure how much of a difference he will make - it's a huge call to say he'll be huge when you consider his county record (where he's played the majority of his cricket) is good but not he's never really dominated.

Holy **** we are playing 4 test series before next year!

We've got an insanely busy year coming up, we're basically non-stop until April IIRC (or whenever the Windies tour ends).

When is the Centurion test? That will get washed out and stop the Saffers taking number 1.

When did you see Newzealand playing better than Pakistan last time?

Didn't Pak beat NZ in NZ before the world cup?

I expect the Aussies to really show up when they play SA and give them a real run for their money, the series between the 2 sides are usually always competitive.
It will be interesting what effect Kirsten has on SA and whether he can turn them into a ruthless outfit or not.

Why isn't West Indies tour of India on there?

India have been stripped of their status due to being ****house IIRC

I'd back us to thrash the Saffer chokers 2-0 in their own backyard. They're quite below par when playing in their own den, probably one of the side effects of chronic choking.

Nah, a certain CW poster got the Windies to boycott the tour in retaliation for some of the Indian players hurting his itty bitty ego by not showing up this summer in the Caribbean.

Pakistan seems to have a realistic chance of overtaking Australia in the rankings

 

[smash84]

thanks Agent. So there actually is a realistic chance of making it to fourth place soon
