Travis Birt & the Aussie game !

Am sure most Indians hate the aussie cricket team !! Remember sledging them from the crowd at a T20 game at the CCI few years back !
But you have got to admire the quality of their game ! They have been doing ok in all versions of the game for the last 2 years with pretty much an average team (by their own standards). An answer may lie in their compact and competitive domestic structure (besides of course, their general love for sport).
Have been following the KFC (eeeks- wat a sponsor) T20 bash this year and the quality of cricket is quite staggering ...Saw Adam Voges take a spectacular catch for Western Australia (WA) vs Tasmania..and a chappie named Travis Birt play an aggressive knock for Tasmania. Watch out for these names..Voges has been in and around the Aussie team but Birt is my pick for a place sooner than later especially in T20.
Will still sledge & chase the Aussies out of India but for sure, there is a lesson for us to enhance our domestic structure..
