You forgot to include that NZ just beat them 3-0 in India.Worst performance i've seen from an aussie side i can remember, this is hardly India's full strength team either. Our batsman have no idea how to bat for time anymore. Some of these frauds need to have a chat to AB or Tugger how to get through when it's tough. Border made a career out of it.
The Australian cricket team is the only sporting side I have supported that has had any success in my life time.As a kid I was good at cricket. Absolutely loved watching it too. When Steve Waugh retired and Michael Clarke eventually became captain it was the beginning of the end for me. I’d be hard pressed to name 3 players in this current Test team.
I watched Gilchrist's last one day match live at the WACA in Perth when I was living there. It was against Sri Lanka and he made a century.The Australian cricket team is the only sporting side I have supported that has had any success in my life time.
Growing up in the early 2000s watching the team win everything but also have two entertainers in Gilly and Warne especially not only dominate but they also changed the game forever made me love the sport as much as Rugby League.
Gilly forced keepers into having be decent batsman and Warne's leg-spin was a true art that we have never seen before or probably again.
The one thing where cricket has lost its way is the characters in the game have been weeded out.
Most cricketers these days are plastic and very vanilla as individuals.
The first ODI I attended I was 8 years old with my brother and father was 2003 against the Poms at the SCG.I watched Gilchrist's last one day match live at the WACA in Perth when I was living there. It was against Sri Lanka and he made a century.
