No Australian cricket team does not lack anything major, its just that they have been frequently shuffling the team, for getting the ideal 11 for the world cup. The shuffling of the team members has been going on for quite some time and basically the Australian team have unearthed a new talent in the form of Brad Hodge. (so it was worth the effort). Their only weak link is their spinning department, after Shane Warne they have yet to find a decent spin bowler. Also, because Gilchrist wont be available for all the matches in the world cup, so they had to try out Haddin. (So, they have 2 major headaches, spin and wicket keeper, and one major find in the form of Brad Hodge).

Same old thing. We underrated the Kiwis, yet again, and in New Zealand. They played brilliantly, we didn't do the work, they deserved it. In England's case I think it's a bit of poetic justice. We got lucky in the second Ashes test, and this was a win they earned then. They're not actually a bad team, they just had a horror stretch of matches.
