Australia is disintegrating

That's the impression this 'war of words' creates.

 

"FORMER leg-spin bowling great Shane Warne has launched a withering attack on Australian cricket administrators, saying an Arrogant mindset'' could see the game's current No.1 team headed for a fall."

 

There is a palpable fear in Australia that they are at the verge of  disintegrating and one solitary defeat can send it tottering over the precipice.

 

If it is to happen, then India has to take the lead in providing the momentum.

 

Even if India manages to cut open one wound in this series, it will embolden other teams to bring Australia to its knees.
