No team will lose a series or a triseries finals as part of strategies.It is like saying USA is losing in Iraq to win in Afghanistan or Iran. If Aus was without its full bowling strength, then what about Eng which defeated Aus without Vaughan,Tresothick,Petierson,Anderson,Harmison. Aus were with their full strength batting and bolwing players.
Cricket is a great leveller and the law of averages is catching up with Aus.It is good for cricket.
