Remember we had a really good run after WC 99 and leading upto last australian tour and what Wasim Akram said before embarking for last tour of Australia? "We finally have a squad that can beat australia" and what did we have? oh right 3-0?.
Woolmer is trying to keep the expectations low and this is not a defeatist attitude by any means. If you wanna hear him saying that we are gonna win series then be his guest, because if we lose God Forbid, you will hold woolmer accountable.
I am just intretested in our approach and dont care what any coach, captain or player is goign to say.

Very well said Saby BHai. Completely agree with you
it dont matter how good inzy might think we are. the thing is the aussies r the best the world has to offer. if we are to win all of our eleven players need to outplay the aussies over the course of 15 days when the three test matches will be played. now thats a hard thing. bobby boy realises that hence his comments. Being emotional in sports gets you to a certain level in order to win against a team like oztralia u need to keep ur head at all times and never get too involved. cricket is a sport which is played as much on the field as it is in the head. Bob knows wat he is getting himself in to and would be looking foward to this as much as we are.
