The Australian cricket team has dominated the cricket game in all formats, for over a decade till 2007. The change started in 2008, when India beat them at the T20 world cup, and also in the home series five day test matches.
Then it was the turn of the South African team to knock out Australia in the test series, few months back.
Now, Australia has been sent out in the first round itself, out of the 2009 T20 World cup tournament, happening currently in England. The team lost their first two matches, first to West Indies team and then to the Sri Lankan team.
India is expected to be in close contest for the cup, while South Africa and West Indies also have the ability to grab the cup.
