‘Aussies' decline similar to Windies'

London: Michael Holding feels the Australian cricket team's decline is similar to the West Indies and attributed it to a “lost generation of players” who did not get a chance due to the presence of older stalwarts in the side a few years ago.

“There is almost a lost generation of Australian players in their late twenties _players who should have been learning their trade during the 2006-07 Ashes, but couldn't find a spot because there were so many exceptional thirty somethings in the team,” Holding said while explaining the Aussie downfall.

The former fast bowler felt the fall has a lot to do with mindset rather than the skills.

“There comes a tipping point when your opponents realise that you are human after all, and suddenly they stand a foot taller when they walk on to the field against you,” he explained. — PTI
