World Cup winner Brendon Julian believes an oversaturated cricket schedule and a potential Ashes hangover are no excuse for Australia’s horror start to the ODI World Cup.
Australia find themselves sitting dead last on the table after demoralising losses to India and South Africa in their first two games.
“It smells a bit of the ‘99 World Cup when we lost two of the first three games,” Fox Cricket expert commentator Julian told news.com.au.“I think this team can do it. What happened in ‘99, Steve Waugh and Shane Warne stood up. “Even against India, the way they batted didn’t sum up the situation when you only needed 240-250 on that wicket.“At the end of the day, I just don’t think they’re sensing the moments in games to win them.
Australia have had one of the most busy cricket schedules ever this year, with a Test series against India, the World Test Championship Final, the Ashes in England and several white-ball series squeezed in. “I’m all for them playing as much as they want. But you can’t go into this World Cup and blame fatigue, I think they just lack a bit of sense of how to win games and I think that’s bled through to their fielding, bowling and batting.”
