David Leggat, in the New Zealand Herald, previews the Chappell-Hadlee and compares two teams on the rebuild. Australia may have been toppled by the South Africans at home but it doesn't make them pushovers by any means.
Whenever a New Zealand team heads to Australia, they board the plane armed with a strong dose of optimism. There's invariably a feeling that this will be a tour when they will put one over the big boys. Partly that's down to a natural relish at tackling our nearest cricket neighbour, at wanting to prove we can mix it successfully with them, and partly because they have always been New Zealand's biggest, and favourite, challenge.
In the same paper, Leggat lists the top ten Trans-Tasman moments. Not surprisingly, the under-arm incident heads the list.
