Ricky Ponting and his team are at the cusp of history.
First, let us take Ricky Ponting’s case. If he loses the current Ashes series, he makes history by becoming the second Australian to captain an Ashes losing side twice.
Now coming to his team, they are all set to make history. If they lose this series, they fall to 4th place in the ICC Test rankings, which is a first for Australian cricket team.
Similarly, if they manage to draw the series they drop down to the 2nd place. Which means if Australia loses the Ashes series, they fall off the 1st ranking they have made their own since 2003.

If this happens it might be treated as end of Australian era.

A warm welcome and I am all for the end of the Australian era.:)
Yes guys we are waiting for it...I think the Invincible Aussies era has already ended but throwing them out from the No:1 ranking will just confirm it officially....Go Aussie Go....dont disappoint us.....:)
