Australia in Free Fall?
Friday, February 06, 2009 :
Even more worrying times for Australia. After losing the #1 in the world spot to South Africa in both forms of the game, are the Australians in free fall. Today saw Michael Clarke lose his record as never having lost as Aussie skipper, to a currently lowly ranked New Zealand team. Let's not forget that these matches are also at home!
Ultimately, in a tight, low scoring match, the Aussies were undone by conceeding to many extras (12 wides) and thier 5th (composite) bowler being relatively expensive. Where now for the Aussies as they face having to win the next 3 matches on the bounce to avoid an embarassing loss in the Chappell-Hadlee Trophy.
