Why has Australia fallen behind in men's ODI cricket?

Australia has lost both of its opening Men's ODI World Cup matches and Corbin and Ed ponder whether the selectors need to make some tougher calls.  Why is the fielding so poor? And how have they failed to prepare the side to peak for the tournament? Meanwhile, Afghanistan may have upset defending champs England, but will Australia stand by its morals and boycott playing against them again?
