It's hard to digest that Aus is struggling in their own home against a weaker NZ team(without Fleming, S.Bond, J.Oram, S.Styris, L.Vincent etc.). Yes they are missing their legend players but selectors are also responsible for this situation. Why S.Katich and B.Hodge are out from ODI side? Why S.Tait is not playing regularly in absence of B.Lee. A.Symonds should be in the ODI and T-20 team.
I hope P.Jaques, S.Watson and B.Lee will be back for SA tour.
With right team combination Aus is still better than SA speciallly in ODI and T-20. SA is good test side.
the australian cricket is at it's lowest level. i don't think that they will cinch the top spot soon. they have to work hard to become no.1 and have to beat south africa and india which currently looked very difficult.

their lowest is better than our highest. They are still no 1 in tests and no 2 in ODI. Even in terms of actual form, they are no worse than #3 in the wrold. When has India ever achieved that?
