Bowlers, selectors under fire after Australia's T20 World Cup exit

The 2021 champions were knocked out of the T20 World Cup in Sri Lanka on Tuesday. Zimbabwe qualified after their match against Ireland was rained off without a ball being bowled. The washout gave each side one point, and left Australia unable to catch up. Their campaign has been widely attacked as "shambolic". Australia lost leading pace bowlers Pat Cummins and Josh Hazlewood to injury, while captain Mitchell Marsh missed the first two games after being hit in the groin in training and suffering testicular bleeding.
