Cricket World quoted Clarke saying, “New Zealand are in good form. They are a strong team. It is going to be a tough battle. It is going to be more about what you do and not so much about what you say. New Zealand have not been sledgers. So I don’t think they will go hard at the Aussies verbally but their greatest strength is going be to the way they perform in these conditions… My only concern for New Zealand is going to be the bounce on The Gabba and the second Test at The WACA. We are still in for a wonderful series, Two very good teams having a go at each other and I am still backing Australia to win.” Michael Clarke: 10 astounding records in Test cricket
