First the 20-20 defeat to England.
Now this humiliation to this county team.
Oh my lord--Australia will now unleash all their Anger on Bangladesh on 18th June ODI.

Why God Why???

Nothing wrong just find out Jayasuria and Smith . These guys are overseas players and very good players . So , it would be hard for the Aussies . Aussies are doing good anyway .

Show me a single player who reached 40 even except those world class players . Like Jayasuriya and Smith .

Also Ponting made a comment at the post match interview session, where he said, " The way we are playing, we have our work cut out against Bangladesh"..Thats a very ominous sign for us. Their wrath will for sure be turned on us. We better be prepared.

He has done a very angry interview, the audio is on the BBC Cricket site.

What has happend to Australia? They seem to be losing verything they do.

I am not foolish enough to get carried away by the Aussies blip.

It is only a blip, they have lost a 20/20 and warm up match - who cares?

We all know what Australia are capable of, don't be surprised if they bounce back and put in ultra-performances against Bangladesh and England over the weekend.

One thing I have learnt though is that Glenn McGrath and Kasper can be targetted and dominated in OD cricket.

Remember in the ICCCT last year when Trescothick was coming down the wicket to both them bowlers and hitting them over the top?

Ponting must be pissed off. Losing to England in a 20-20 is one thing that can be laughed off, but a loss to Somerset. There is really something wrong. Lets see how they do against BD.

The batting is not a problem, far from it, they have made 300 in bother 50 over games they have played on this tour, and made 170 easily in a 20/20 warm up match.

I wouldn't look into the 79 all out too much. Anyone can get skittled in 20/20 because you have to keep playing your shots, if you have no luck like Australia did you can get bowled out quickly. (This being exactly what Vaughan said).

Australia must be pissed off with these defeats.
I will be mentally ready to see a 400 score if they bat first against Bangladesh on 18th.
