They aren't better than that. They have had incredibly amounts of luck and but they also

are a well drilled team with a great deal of momentum and belief - this has seen them win a lot of games that other teams might have drawn or even lost. They rarely win games comfortably or play teams off the park. Their points tally is hugely flattering but unfortunately because of the way they play i cannot see them going into a sustained dip in the absence of a host of injuries because their game is not based on one or even two individual players. I therefore think they will go up. They don't seem to have had very many injuries at all to key players which also helps.
