Australia once again faced the biggest cricket crisis  after having memories of the ball-tampering incident the national team on Tuesday collapsed to the biggest-ever defeat in ODI cricket  and lost all his wickets on 241 runs while chasing a record messive 481/6  set by his arch rival England at Trent Bridge.

English men absolutely demolished Aussies at Trent Bridge after being asked to bat first by Tim Paine. Paine would afterward called the day as 'my hardest day's cricket ever.'

It was a feeling maybe shared by every single fan of the national cricket team back home.

"Bad and sad times for Australian cricket. The fall out from the ball tampering fiasco will reverberate through Australian cricket for years to come," one native has written under a match report published by Sydney Morning Herald. "I sympathise with Justin Langer and Tim Paine it’s going to be tough to teach the team to win again."

The fans of Australian cricket team perhaps can't be laid blame for finding it awfully tough to back a side that is time after time grabbing headlines for all the off beam reasons.

Coming to the ball-tampering incident, which saw skipper Steve Smith, opener David Warner and young Peter Bancroft being banned for unstable time, and now it’s bad enough as the team recently worn-out to its worst ODI ranking - sixth – in last 34 years. It seems highly doubtful that the five-time ICC World cup title holder Champions would recover anytime soon.
