Mighty Australians are 'mentally disintegrating'

[cricketworm]

Ever since that celebration of Warner mouthed off ABDV after his run-out, Australia has struck by the biggest 'karma' lighting.

This series has destroyed whatever reputation they had. It will take some serious skilled players who are great on and off field. Will require at least 2 or 3 Mike Hussey like players to restore their reputation.

This Mental Disintegration word was used by none other than 'great' Steve Waugh.

Now their own fans and media has mentally disintegrated their mindset.

This is another collapse after #sandpapergate. Australian looks totally uninterested and dejected. They don't want to be there in South Africa, they just wanna go home and a bit. I don't blame them.

But may this should give wake up call to new generation cricketers coming off Australia. Before pointing fingers to others and teaching them with their self righteousness attitude should go away.

Will they survive this Wrath?

They lost two world class players, it will take some time to recover from this.

India touring Australia this year would be a perfect opportunity for them to win first test series win.

One of Australia's biggest defeat mentally. It will be hard for them to swallow this loss.

This team was on sky after the win in Durban. They just came from a series win in NZ, very competitive performance in India, a dominant Ashes win and looked well on their win to smash South Africans in their dent 4-0.

However, in a meagre two tests,Port Elizabeth and Cape town, life has changed drastically, from incredible highs to massive lows, for them and now they just want to leave SA ASAP and go to home.

I think Lyon made a big mistake by throwing the ball on AB when he got run-out. As a result, he smashed them at Port Elizabeth and hence Australians knowing they cant stop him, went to Cape Town with a pre-planned meeting of ball-tampering.

It's our best chance to win in both England and Australia back to back in fact.

But in typical fashion we'll stuff it up. Just wait and watch.

A mighty team does not depend on 1-2 players. Smith and Warner were struggling in South Africa anyways against Rabada and co. If anything question marks have to be asked as to how many quality bowling attacks or challenging conditons have the likes of Warner and Smith faced. Both are classic flat track home bullies.

Usually no matter what team Australia play they go down fighting . Today there was no fight which is a very worrying sign. Stripping Warner and Smith of the captaincy and vice captaincy was more than enough punishment. Could be a year of poor results for Australia. Don't see anyone in the domestic scene who can come even close to matching Smith and Warner. It's no surprise that Shaun Marsh and Usaman Khawaja are still regulars despite inconsistent performances.

This has got to be one of Australia’s biggest ‘moral’ defeats

Definitely tough times ahead for Australian cricket. If their pace bowling attack becomes toothless in the next few games, more questions will be asked as to how long have they been doing this?

This win at every cost was finally going to get them Arrogance and ignorance believing that they're bigger then the game has got them where they are. I have no sympathy for them, have always had a problem with the attitude of their players.

Their recent outing in the 4th Test begs the question, how many of the recent AUS victories were due to ball-tampering?

 

[Tusker]

Cant wait for teams to start trolling them as cheats ....couldnt have happened to a more deserving bunch of players ... fun times ahead

Since the beginning of the last Ashes series, I’d say

I doubt the inclusion of Smith and Warner would have made much difference really. I mean they were getting humiliated by Sri Lanka and Bangladesh even when they had those players. Fact is, Australians are easy prey away from home right now.

Interesting that it took them this long to get caught. It could be that this was the first time they used sand paper and that too one that is yellow in color.

Another disastrous collapse. Every single SA bowlers had some kind of niggle on the last day, still Aus. kind of gave up.
