I had completed writing this post and was just waiting to click the publish button. It is now official. Aussies are out of the T20 World Cup. Can't remember the last time, the Aussies made an early exit. To my knowledge it was in Kenya way back in 2000 in the second edition of the ICC Champions Trophy. So the Aussies have been handed over 2 consecutive defeats and they are out of the tournament, without adding a victory against their name.
James Sutherland, the CEO of Cricket Australia would be scratching his head, whether forcing his players not to play the IPL was a wise decision.
It has been a day of eliminations with Bangladesh also making an exit from the tournament.
Cheers to Sri Lanka for eliminating the Australians from the World Cup. Ponting may have to think about bringing back Haydos and Gilly atleast for the shortened version of the game.
Bye Bye Australia.
