Bowlers criticised over form slump.
(From The Journal)

The Aussies crashed to a nine-wicket loss at the MCG on Tuesday to concede their first ever home series defeat since 1992/93.

It is an unthinkable scenario for a team which not so long ago was untouchable with the likes of Warne, Glenn McGrath and Adam Gilchrist leading the line.
Warne was critical of the current crop of Aussie bowlers in his column in Melbourne newspaper the Herald Sun, saying they lacked "imagination and flair".
