Player Of The Series - Glenn McGrath
Best Bat Aus - Matt Hayden

Best Bowl Aus - McGrath

Talking Point - Ian Harvey to make test debut, the failures of Ricky Ponting at no 3 to see a resurgence of the 'Bring back Deano' faction.
Fearless prediction - Neil Harvey will bag the current team at some stage of the summer.

I went ok...
I predicted Justin Langer to score the most runs for Australia. Astle for NZ. Picked Vetorri to get most wickets for NZ, said Gillespie would for Australia (he got 2nd)
I did say 2-0 Australia though :(
