Happy New Year everybody in the Cricket Section.

It has been a  tough year for Aussie cricket supporters. I think we've won two Tests this year including the first one in South Africa.

A few of us thankfully have football to  follow, where Australia is current Asian Cup holders.

The analogy I will use, is that Australia has had a similar standing in a far smaller field of world cricket, to Germany and Brazil in football. Historically, Aus has been a world  cricket powerhouse who is now on the slide.
