a captain in terrible form, no spinners and a team average age of 33
as a huge cricket fan, i just don't see where the aussie next generation is coming from... no-one stands out in the local competitions and after this group of sublime cricketers retire I'm fearing the rest of the world will catch up.
whats everyone's thoughts on the state of australian cricket and aging sportsmen

Sorry, I am too harsh or crude, but here is my take on the way the current lot of Aussies play cricket under a spoilt brat of a captain:
The Aussies are failing in one of the following:
(1) They will try and intimidate the umpire
(2) They will sledge the opposition to submission
(3) They will cry fowl at the slightest bit of provocation, especially if the opposition speaks a language that they don't understand
(4) They will try and get the leading player from the opposition camp into a lot of trouble and try their best to get him banned
(5) A big hulk of an Aussie player will speak with a lot of bravado about how he'd like to get a skinny young player who's just about 19 years into a boxing ring and hammer him, and the entire country will cheer him and praise him for his manliness.
(6) The Aussie nation and most of its press will play false lip service for the fowl play by its own team and actually encourage this behind the scenes.
(7) The Aussie nation will try and get one or two players of the opposition on the wrong footing and publicize it so that the morale of the entire team goes down
(8) Aussie channels will show the umpires mistakes in decisions that go against them and conceal umpires mistakes that favor them.
(9) Bite the hand that feeds them and the cricket world, and then go to that country that they have wronged most and fouled most against and try and earn some more money from the brown natives.
(10) Suddenly realize that they are a white race that has a black man in their to show their secularism and lambast the opposition from Asia, use racist slurs, etc., because the other white teams are in any case walkovers. Its the Asian that you have to beware- as far as the only major black team, well why not just buy off the black umpire to screw up every decision so that they have an extra player in the team - the black umpire himself!
And now to the world........
Ah yes, they will also stop nuclear supplies to India! And of course continue supplying raw materials to their own big Bawna named Uncle Sam despite his not signing the NPT or CBT.
Ah the smart hypocrites ............. dumb....?????
