Aussies have a poor batting lineup compared to our 11 or did you mean aussies will "power chase" even with a poor batting lineup? IN any case, they never have a poor batting lineup. IN order to chase like, you have to have some superiority - whether talent, ability or otherwise. You're right in that yesterday was the first time we chased in this manner. One of the reasons it had to be a strategy yesterday was that we have lost low scoring games to teams we should have beaten before - chasing too defensively, losing wickets, going into a downward spiral. Does Canada come into mind? In this series, Zim could have bowled us out under 200 - they did not want to take the risk and it was obviously a sound decision in restrospect.
