Australia Anxious About Ashes

Australia loses the services of Ricky Ponting and Mike Hussey from International cricket freshly, pulling Australia to back once again. The most important task for Australia is not to face a white wash in Ashes this year in England. Australia have never being anxious about T-20 world cup as if they did they might be the world champions at least once in the format but they never did it. Neither they worry about the ranking in ICC. Also it looks like they lost the focus in ODI's too. They have got an inexperienced team against a well known team of Asia who has been showing a promising performance in the last three years in all the major tournaments of ICC. Also, Micheal Clarke injury can be resulted as a lost of the series against Srilanka in ODI's. David Hussey is regarding to be the successor of Mike Hussey in the Australian team has lot to do in the absence of Micheal Clarke in the start of the series and need to prove a-lot this year.

South Africa and England are looking promising to be the giants of Test cricket for the long term and are fighting hard to maintain it. Aussie is on the third at the present. They will be playing four test matches against India in India before they go for the Ashes. This time they will be playing in Asian conditions and the only well known player is Micheal Clarke who can play well against Indian spinners on Asian track.

 If let us suppose Pakistan prove to show a better performance against South Africa and India may won the series against Australia so it may causes Australia to move to fourth or fifth in ICC test ranking which they definitely concern before going for Ashes. More over it may causes England to move top at the table. In 2011 world cup these two teams had pulled Australia out of the tournament, first Pakistan and then India in the group and quarter finals of the tournament respectively. But that is not as easy as it looks like, South Africa looking invincible against New Zealand and on the other hand Indian cricket team has lost a Test Match series and One day series against England and Pakistan respectively in the period of two months. Also Srilanka being white washed by Australia which gives them a good momentum to do better against an Asian team in the end of the next month.
It will be a serious contest among the top five teams later on this year in the test format. And the result of matches will concern each other a-lot. Australia although may not be looking greatly to go on the top of the chart but still they will be trying to show some good performance in the Ashes which is there serious concern.
