Aussies suck now. Its disgusting to see them lose to Saffers in ODIs. Its 7-2 for SA this year. And given the way Aussies are playing the ODIs, they aint lookin good to defend their title in 2011. Pakistan would fancy their chances to beat Aussies 5-0 if its the way Aussies are going to play. Jesus, no way in the world Michael Clark looks like an ODI opener. You cannot make a orange taste like an apple. Plus Aussies are falling to spinners, the rookie ones. Botha and Van de Marve are absolutely not the most dangerous spinners in the world.
The tour has been disastrous for Aussies. And the summer even worse. They are now # 3 in ODIs. India go up to 2. Undeserving. They deserve top spot in ODIs. SA are by no means the # 1 team in ODis.
I think Ponting needs a break before the Ashes begin. He has got one from the Pak series, but he also would accept that it has been the most disastrous summer for him in all forms of the game. Ponting, Hussey and Clark are the most experienced cricketers left now in Australia and their slump has caused more trouble than advantage to the team. They need some break, some soul searching and may be a fresh perspective.
Its a very sad plight for an Aussie fan like me to see them lose.....I hope they turn around the ride and the tide a bit soon!!!
