Aussies keep winning feeling

Australia have picked the same 12-man squad that comprehensively beat New Zealand at the Gabba for the conclusion of the Trans-Tasman Test series, starting at Adelaide on Friday. The Australians, who arrived in Adelaide this afternoon, need only to draw the Test to retain the trophy after thrashing their rivals by an innings and 156 runs on Sunday.

John Bracewell, the New Zealand coach, said his side would look at the pitch before considering any changes but James Franklin, the left-arm bowler who missed the first Test with a groin strain, is expected to return after completing a training session today. Kyle Mills would be the man to make way after Bracewell was impressed by the form of Chris Martin, who took 5 for 152.
