equatorTo lull England into an Un-English positivity.
Roy gave Mike Hussey genital warts before he left.
Lara Bingle told them test cricket is the most important form of the game.
Cameron White sapped their confidence by bowling them all out in the nets.
They are afraid of UFOS.
Dirty Dirk told them he would punch them all in the face if they did better than him.
Most of them already have IPL contracts.
Shane Watson.
Brett Lee is no longer heartbroken, or any good.
Nathan Hauritz was sent to the Priory Centre with Susan Boyle when he found out he had to bowl in a match.
Brad Haddin was diagnosed with a potential case of swine flu, turns out he just shared an elevator with Scott Styris.
Australia’s best four players at the IPL were three retired guys and a Ski Instructor who has pissed off Andrew Hilditch.
Ricky Ponting spent more time spitting into his hands than he did changing the bowling.
Nathan Bracken lost his lucky alice band.
Jimmy Hopes unusually low hair line made David Warner doubt the existence of God and he start reading into Darwin instead of batting in the nets.
Other teams turned up.

Aus cannot play spin now..this is a bigger problem than Dirk not playing. Sehwag can teach them something about that
Very well, all that and ofcourse LALIT MODI and his child IPL ! have to blame him we r talkin bout Aussie decline right! now… its fair!!
No Hodge, No Nannes, No Symonds and a sloppy captain. I reckon Australia need a new selection committee. But before that could CA finish off a couple other careers like the Husseys and Warner and leave them free to play IPL? (incidentally, I dislike Roy as much as Punter. But can he play!!!).
The last line. Classic.

Ummm…couldn’t pick up the Lankan Harris.
Had to depend on Mitchell Johnson to get to a respectable score.
Bowled like they were defending 250. Gave too many extras (rather…Lee gave too many extras)
The core players ignored the IPL (Most of those who had a good run in the IPL are doing well here…except for Lee)
Most of those who did not ignore the IPL(Symongds, Nannes, Hodge) were kept out. (Why is Roy being treated so badly? Till he delivers, let him live his life his own way!!)
Australia does not take T20 seriously or rather the elite Australian players do not take it seriously?
Still am baffled by the inclusion of White ahead of Hodge!
Cricket Tragic’s last blog post..How stupid can a closing ceremony be?
What should be shameful for Ponting is that this was so predictable. Anyone with half a mind could have said that they will be humiliated by Gayle in one of his moods and the Lankan spinners. They did nothing to alter the script that seemed to have been laid out for them. To make matters worse they pick a team of Probots – not one guy who can be called a gamebreaker (Ok maybe Johnson and future PM not against spin).
To be fair… they have never been any good at T20.

“Australia’s best four players at the IPL were three retired guys, a drunk guy and a Ski Instructor who has pissed off Andrew Hilditch.”
fixed that for you.
Hewy, you are correct, I realised i should have fixed that later.
Neerav, Add Warner to that as well, but if Johnson and Future PM are game breakers, why hold them back in the order? None of this makes sense.
Well apart from the Aussie cricketers not taking T20 seriously, I dont think the Aussie fans like T20 either and I feel they dont really care if the team wins or loses in this format.
This is something I felt while watching the Aus vs SL match. Where were the Aussie fans? There were so many empty seats and this is supposed to be the World Cup of the most exciting form of the game for spectators!!
Aussie fours and sixes were met with silence – It actually made me ask whether there was a single Australian in the crowd. Even Banladesh vs Ireland had more crowd in the game and more noise of course.
^^ Sour grapes?

I have to say though, Johnson looked ordinary when he was bowling. He wasn’t even near Lee’s pace and he shortened his run-up. Could there be a niggling injury?
hussey brothers are not game breakers. mike actually has the talent but has been off colour for the last 18 months. david hussey will not make any other major* team’s XI.
* and by major i do mean only RSA and India.
and michelle was prolly just playing with his johnson because his bowling sucked balls.
