India vs Australia 4th ODI: 5 Talking points 

#3 Australia lack Leadership

Steve Smith Press Conference

Life hasn’t been easy for Australia cricket supporters ever since Steve Smith and David Warner have been left out of the squad due to being suspended from international cricket.

The Aussies have lacked leadership for a long time now and that was pretty evident in this match as well.

What really is troubling the Aussies is the lack of inspirational personalities on the field. Men like Ricky Ponting, Allan Border, Steve Smith and many more have been instrumental in driving their side when the going gets tough.

Men like Steve Smith and David Warner have the potential to enhance any side in the world. Their capability of influencing those around them is what makes them being counted among the modern day greats.

With the duo set to return in 2019, Australia's fans are excited for what the future events. The absence of genuine leadership is what’s hurting cricket Australia at the moment and is what has hurted them for the most part of last year as well!
