Australia losing it?

#

What’s wrong with the Australian cricket team? Is this a joke? Ever since they landed in England, they have lost badly.

One was against the English team in the Twenty20 game.

Then, they lost against Somerset. Somerset???

And today, as if to prove that those were not flukes, they let Bangladesh restrict them to 249 in 50 overs and Bangladesh won quite handily.

I don’t want to start making predictions yet, because its still early days, but the hype that is surrounding the English team and the dreams that they may actually win the Ashes this year may start becoming more and more real.

As readers of this blog may know, I don’t like the English cricket team. I think it is a lot of hype surrounding a decent team. So I hope I don’t have to eat my earlier words.

But then again, even if I have to, I will eat my words because there is nothing wrong in accepting that I was wrong.
