I thought the words "I'm stepping down" would be more appropriate and beneficial to the side. The old saying always rings true.....the fish rots at the head. The team tends to resemble their leader. Last 3 Tests totally unacceptable in every way.

Think they got Mark Waugh wrong there , was captain of the punters club not the team .
Its true that because Australia had been so dominant, aggressive and abusive ( in play, at times in sledging) most cricketing countries hate Australian cricketers. Having said that the same dominance has also got Aus fans from other countries. So yes, Australia is the cricket team to beat but that is fading away. Aus is getting very friendly. The cricketers, the pitches and the cricket in general is friendly to touring teams. It shouldn't be in my opinion.Probably because we tend to play the stronger Test playing nations over here more than most, as we are the country all others love to beat due to our dominant era. Would be very interesting to do a poll of other countries and see which country they most want to beat, I’d say Australia would feature in the top 2 of all of them.
CA make fu** all out of teams like Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Windies etc touring here as they are always whitewashes, hence we seem to go between England and India, especially with SA falling away.
I just hope Australia can start winning Test series in places like India. Had our chances last tour there, but unlike India just didn’t grasp them often enough outside of the one win.
By players? It would be nice to win, but doesn’t mean much in the scheme of things. If we don’t make or win the final but then win the Ashes, I can’t imagine anyone caring about the WTC final.Been mentioned a few times and again on the telecast today. Ashes are well after that. Of course want to be in the final. Like really.
Late next month.They’re looking better lately and definitely have enough players to trouble us. When is this series meant to be?
Neser is a better bowler than Starc at present..hands down.. Starc hahaha Wade, Harris, Burns, Warner, haha also India deserved that. Australia need to stop picking players who think they are better than they are..Lion is a Mouse.Who could Neser have replaced? Surely not Starc?
Hey Timmy boy, why don't we do an audit of all the things that don't like you -should have tweeted “shame you won’t play another test, but hey, at least your teammates like you”
Elgar is a quality batsmen, bowling attack is decent. Don’t have the out and out stars like they used to, but overall still a decent enough side. I expect Australia should win still, but don’t discount SA.Late next month.
Have they though? Only saw them against Sir Lanka at home recently which is a layup most of the time howadays.
Yes. Aus may win but I hope SA whitewashes Australia. SA also need to rise back to what they were and it will prove a point that India has dented daggers into Australian cricket.Elgar is a quality batsmen, bowling attack is decent.

Workload approximately 9 overs an innings they discussed before his debutGreen probably didn’t bowl much today, probably because he hasn’t taken a test wicket, and the Captain had no confidence in him, that’s the only explanation for me, strange decision
Hahaha I certainly don’t discount SA Rabada running amokElgar is a quality batsmen, bowling attack is decent. Don’t have the out and out stars like they used to, but overall still a decent enough side. I expect Australia should win still, but don’t discount SA.
Paine went and congratulated every Indian player after their win, I’m sure Ashwin can handle banter on a sporting field. Pant talks all day behind the stumps as well, it’s just Aussies can’t understand what he’s saying. Do you think players like Gilly didn’t say a thing while keeping to try put batsmen off? Just didn’t have stump mics to hear it back then
They can play Lyon with a licorice stick , straight away the quickies have to bowl more .People forget this Indian side put our bowling attack to the sword 2 years ago. They just grind us into the dust.
I’m sure he’s copped plenty over the last week, most which I’m sure is well over the top and getting into abuse territory knowing how social media works.then i’m sure he could handle a little banter on twitter
To hope your country gets thrashed in a test series is poor formYes. Aus may win but I hope SA whitewashes Australia. SA also need to rise back to what they were and it will prove a point that India has dented daggers into Australian cricket.

The daggers were in into this Aussie cricket team two years ago! Australia were ranked sixth in the world not long agoYes. Aus may win but I hope SA whitewashes Australia. SA also need to rise back to what they were and it will prove a point that India has dented daggers into Australian cricket.
Australian cricket has non Australian fans too. I do not want Aus in the WTC final anymore. Two of NZ England India should be there. India v England decides it for me. If England can keep India to 2 0 or less, superb. England deserve to play the final.To hope your country gets thrashed in a test series is poor form
I understand but India repeatedly coming and beating Australia and then with a B string side, will give a lot of confidence to other teams to beat Australia. A deep dagger this isThe daggers were in into this Aussie cricket team two years ago! Australia were ranked sixth in the world not long ago
I just cant take it. It will take a while to sink in because its unbelievable what has happened.gutted atm
seriously low point in australian cricket atm
