Out of interest.
It seems NZ are in crisis as are England, India and Pakistan with SA having serious issues.
To play devils advocate, maybe it is all due to how good Australia are and how much better they are than the rest rather than internal issues elsewhere.
If there was no Australia, or if they were weak, we would have a number of countries competing for 1st place in both Tests and ODIs.
If that was the case then I doubt we would all be stressing so much.
I think that Aus are so far ahead and noone can compete, that if any team loses to another then they worry. This could be because they are now not just light years behind Australia but behind others that are also way behind Australia. That becomes a sobering and scary thought.
Its 1 thing to lose to the best but when you lose to others then that is an issue. With Aus being so good every loss to anyone else becomes a cause for panic or refletion.
Im not saying its correct, but its a possibility.
Blame Australia
