A quick preview - Australia v New Zealand

It seems they'll be very lucky to get a result in Brisbane this week. It's been raining heavily every afternoon, and while the Australia of the past could have probably put the foot down to get the victory, I don't trust them that much this time.

Australia, however, will win in Adelaide and take the Test Series 1-0. Why there is no Test in Hobart is beyond me.

Hayden and Ponting will make runs, Mike Hussey will be his usual self, and Andrew Symonds will make one of those run-a-ball-50-not-outs he's so famous for, and that will keep the dogs at bay for another test or two.

Mitchell Johnson looms as most likely to take the most wickets. The pressure is on Stuart Clark, as he'll be replaced by Siddle or Hilfenhaus by Boxing Day if he doesn't produce.
