Tom Moody slams Australian team’s dismal performance in CWC

Former Australian cricketer Tom Moody said that the current Australian side is far from the best World Cup sides, which won five titles for the country, and added that things are not looking good.
Australia lost their fourth successive ODI match to South Africa and their fourth successive WC match since 2019, succumbing to a 134-run loss to South Africa on Thursday at Lucknow. A century from Quinton de Kock, his second successive WC ton, and fiery spells from Kagiso Rabada and Keshav Maharaj helped the Proteas hand over their biggest loss in WC history.
Before this WC, Australia had an inconsistent run. In the five-match ODI series against South Africa, they fumbled a 2-0 lead to lose the series 2-3. Then, against India just before the tournament, they lost 2-1, where their struggles against spin in subcontinent conditions were exposed. Moody said in a  video that the current Aussie team is far from being among those best Australian sides that won five World Cup titles in past as they have come into the tournament undercooked and faced a lot of injuries before it. “Australia has a very proud history in 50-over World Cups. 5 WCs in the cabinet—that is a significant cabinet to have. The question is, is this team as good as those teams that won the WCs? The way they are playing at the moment, they are far from it. They are coming to this tournament undercooked, with a lot of players like Pat Cummins not playing a lot of 50-over cricket or any cricket leading up to the tournament.
