Since Ponting, Langr, Hayden, McGrath and Shane Warne retired, the Aussies have also lost the top position. They were unbeaten when these great players were in the team. However, it will take time for the new team to make their impression. But it's difficult to regain the position now.

To my mind the Aussies are going through a transitional and transformational phase in cricket. There were such phases in the cricket of this country. Even in the ongoing Ashes series they were distinctly unlucky not to win at least two of the Test matches. I am looking forward to the return home series with great hopes.

Sir forget two , they haven't won a single match in this series. They are in there bad phase and who knows when they will be back..

I was referring to the possibilities of two Test matches including the last one which England narrowly failed to win, even in this Test match Australia squandered away the edge it held. Was it the third that Australia was close to winning it but Rain God saved it for England? I am sure you will appreciate that in Test matches a few bad sessions can significantly influence the outcome of them. I remember a similar bad phase in the eighties and then came Alan Border and a bunch of talented Aussie cricketers and the long rule of the Aussies! I agree with Sunil the sporting culture of Australia with that exceptional 'Aggro' in their collective psyche would not let this present crisis to continue, they would be back with a bang, that's for sure!!!

In the late 90 and early 2000 , legends like Mark Taylor, Ian Healy , Damien Fleming , Michael Slater, Mark Waugh and Steve Waugh retired but Australia did well even without their presence. They should think that and start performing.
