Is Australian sport performances getting worse? Why?

Australia used to out perform nearly every one during the 80s ..Then UK got nation lottery funding which paid any talented child a full time wage to study his/her sport that is now paying of big time for UK Plus they hired many Ozy coaches,.. India have been improving ever since the early 80s in cricket They improve every day >So other counties are now catching up with Australia

Aussie cricketers are not doing too good at the moment against SA while the Netballers lost the last one to the Kiwis but both teams can turn it around quickly.

Not sure about the Wallabies chances against the AB's in a couple of weeks time -- can only think the AB's can't win forever and sooner or later have to lose.

No. It was poor selections that led to the 5-0 loss. Sending three inexperienced quicks was an inane decision. Especially when you consider that Cummins and Hazelwood were both fit as was Bird, Paris, et al. What was poor was the batting, Warner and Smith excepted and Marsh did try but Finch and Bailey were poor which meant it was always an uphill battle for those following.

No it's not .Only their standard is going down .What used to be a bad performance earlier is now ok for them as evident from one of the answers here.

Yes. Flat pitches in Australia.

No is my answer so there's no why?
