You dont go from being the best in the world to being the worst in the world overnight. There is something going on here but I dont think It's 'the end' of Australia. This is'nt me being arrogant or anything but It's simply rediculous to say that this is due to a lack of skill in the team. The bowlers seem to be having a bad trot, but is anybody going to try an suggest that it is because they are too old. Gilsepie is only 30 and he copped the same as McGrath and Kaspa. Either way, age doesent cause you to put the ball wide, which anybody who watched would realise only happend a few balls every over anyway. McGrath and Gillespie acctually looked good at the start but failed to take the wickets, which was unlucky.I'm not saying that this is'nt significant but I think we have to look a bit deeper than 'cracks apearing'.
