Shocking but true the Australians didn't even qualify to the super 8 in this years T20 tournament. I have been watching Cricket for more than 15 years and I have never seen the Australian’s perform so badly. Recently in this years T20 the windies crashed the Australian by easily chasing there target in merely 15 overs, later the srilankan's won the second match against the oz's defeating them by 6 wickets.
Now a question arises is this the end to the oz legacy? When teams like Ireland were able to qualify to the super 8's. The oz's where shattered like this, way back in 1992 world cup (which was hosted in Australia) where they out in the first round itself. And after there was no looking back, they entered the finals in the 1996 world cup which was hosted in Asia. As every one knows after that was history Australia won three world cups in a row. The aussies broke the record of windies who had won 2 world cups.
The team was in the best of form when it had all the key players like hayden,gilly,mcgrath and warne but after losing all these players i some where feel, the team struggling like how the giants of cricket windies suffered when all it's amours like viv Richards, Walsh and Ambrose retired from the game. Now a biggest challenge for the oz’s is to prove them selves in the ashes which is going to be held in July. Will the giants fail again???or they are going to retain back there glory??? Lets wait and watch.
