Australia down and out of the world cup 2011


It has been disappointing world cup campaign for Australians. They are 4 times champions and were defending the title but couldn't hold on it any more. There has been very ordinary and inconsistence performance by the players. They failed to bat well against the spinners and their own spinners could not perform up to the level. 

The loss against pakistan made a huge impact as if they would have won that game then their quarter final would have been against easier team west indies  . Brett Lee was the top performer for them but was not supported by others. After this loss there has been questions raised against Ponting's captaincy and I think he would be changed by someone more capable.
It has been end of an aura of Australian dominance in cricket we are likely to see a new team reaching top of the cricket.
