why did they schedule the NT match right before the ODI series? are they expecting a definite win so they put it there to make sure the boys would go in with confidence and winning momentum? imo not such a good move, NT quality is so low that it will be a shock when they play the first ODI. would be much better if that match was at the start of the tour, that way BD would get some good matches against decent bowlers/batsmen (AIS). jumping from NT bowlers/batsmen to aussie national bowlers/batsmen=not a good idea. also if aussie selectors are looking to give some young players a bit of a trial and experience then they'll do it in this series.
