In the first Test between Australia and India, commentators noted how quiet the Aussie fielders were, with nothing from wicketkeeper Alex Carey, who saw 26 byes. He seems like an introvert.
This made me think about why birds sometimes don't chirp. There are a few reasons:
1. Molting – Birds shed and regrow feathers. After Sandpaper Gate, Australia seems to be shedding its "Ugly Australian" image, struggling to find a new identity.
2. Rearing young – Changing the old guard, like replacing David Warner with Nathan McSweeney. The rest of the team is over 30.
3. Migrating – The IPL auction happened during the match, with players eyeing big money offers.
4. No longer defending territory – Australia is now treating the tourists with smiles and pleasantries.
5. Stress, depression, or illness – This one feels like a fit.
