What went wrong with Australia?

[deepdynamo]

The defending champion and one of the favourite for the home world cup crashed out embrassingly . What went wrong ?

 

1. Didn't take t20 seriously. 

2. Too many oldies and has been players instead

3. Big Bash performers were ignored.

T20

Grandpa syndrome lol

[vvvslaxman]

Tim David was supposed to terrorize the world didn't he? 

[jalebi_bhai]

Warner flopped. Man of the tournament last time, didn't step up this time. Bowlers also didn't step up enough.

 

They have to refresh their core batting unit. Maxi or Stoinis are ready to lead imo.

 

Besides all that, a little unlucky to get eliminated having only lost one game.

Pressure to win a home 

[nitinbwj]

Finn Allen happened and all their bowlers travelled long distances. Their bowling has been piss poor. 

[nitinbwj]

Starc, Cummins, Hazelwood didn't look threatening at all. Green failed plus Warner.

Absolutely true. The should have given more opportunities to Green and David. Their bowlers are also toothless now with stark getting old.

They lost a grand total of one game which usually happens in this fickle format. Can't look too much into it. 

 

They're still a quality side. Who knows they might have won against England at the G if it wasn't rained off.

They didn't lose the game. They were blown away like a proper thrashing to a kid. I can't remember Aus being hammered like that in Aus. 

[Laaloo]

They were in a much tougher group to be honest 

[cricketfan28]

rain happened.

[Scarface]

Their bowling did not fire in a tournament where bowlers are ruling the roost.

Cummins- not suited for T20, Starc+Zampa - out of form, Hazel - how much can he do.

Also bad luck to lose the toss in SCG (been a nightmare to chase) and rained out in MCG.

[Majestic]

Warner + bowlers failure was reason.

 

Guys like Maxwell and Stoinis are good players but will be hit and miss. Can't expect them to win you a World tournament on their own.

most t20 bilaterals between SENAI played on flat pitches.. ICC conducting T20 world cup in Gulf - toss biased/slow pitches or in off season in Aus - I just don't like these < 160 scores 

[Stan AF]

Nothing much really.

 

Their 1st match loss was huge and it put them in a backseat . Ever since they've been trying to play catchup with run rate but fortunately/unfortunately england and NZ were better than them.

[SM2907]

One game lost by a huge margin and then the wash out. It's not like they were thrashed in the group stage. Nothing much to read in the exit.

[adi B]

Too many players who have taken the spots for granted ,Warner, Smith, Finch starc all have been playing for 10-12 years, it's bound to fail.

They need to freshen up their t20 squad. 

Too many oldies in their current squad like ours.

But they were unlucky because of the rained match with England ,they could have won that. 

But they should have no qualms ,just won their title last year that too in the SC .

[coffee_rules]

First match loss and rained out match against Eng hurt them the most. It helped them that Eng lost to Ire, but the first game huge loss couldn’t be reversed, they were playing catch-up. Pressure to win at home is negligible. They hardly had any local crowds
