What they lacked was a backbone in the team, a sure shot match winner at number five or six, who would help the chase down targets, and even build the innings depending on a good or bad start to the innings. That was to prove their major failing when they were eventually knocked off their perch in the semis last time around.
Plus one of the pillars of their bowling attack, Mohd. Asif doped his way to glory and Glenn McGrath was initially unsure about his return this year. More than that, Daniel Vettori will be playing the full season this time round and while that is indeed great news for the management, this will cause many problems for the team balance, keeping in mind the four foreigners limit for the playing eleven.
