^ I wonder why these “oh so great Aussies” rested Ghilchrist and Ponting with “same excuses” in Chappel-Hadley ODI series right before world cup.

Aussies are great but the reason you are giving for their greatness is totally wrong. Let me find out the article Tom Moody wrote on cricinfo just for you…

…oh here it is on another site

“…‘‘The cricket world did not stick their nose into the fact that half the Australian team didn’t tour New Zealand for the Chappell-Hadlee Series. That was Australia’s choice. It is the way you prepare your players for a long World Cup,’’ the two-time World Cup winning member of Australia pointed out.”

It takes nothing away from Australia. They rested because they wanted all these players to play entire tournament. Makes perfect sense, Tom Moody is S/L coach, he is bound to be biased.
