Aussie cribbing
Aussie loss of form. Near wholesale? Is that why they are livid? After rout by Springboks. And on home ground. And they blamed it on the IPL. Curse of the IPL! Sydney Morning Herald put out quotes from Down Under: the devil at work.
Brett Lee not delivering, now hurt and injured. Ricky became rickety Ponting, Symonds et al in the dumps. Hayden forced to quit. A hoodoo over them all. Take it out on somebody. Who better than the Indians, the all time whipping boys.
Yet, give the devil his due. IPL rediscovered Shane Watson, David Hussey and Marsh for the Kangaroos. They are in the team. Some retired Aussies are making hay in the Indian sunshine: Shane Warne, Gilespie and McGarth steady as ever, even if not getting many wickets, but tormenting batsmen. And delivering many clones.
And now there is the comment from Ian Chapell that India does not have the bowling to sustain India's Number One Test ranking. It's something that has not gone down too well with M S Dhoni.
