Australia's T20 Slump Blamed On Travis Head's New Obsession With Sri Lankan Stilt Fishing

The Australian Cricket team is doing a few minutes of soul searching this week, after a DISASTROUS result at the Pyjama Cricket World Cup.

Following a shock result at the hands of Zimbabwe, Australia slumped to its second straight loss against Sri Lanka overnight, despite coasting 10 overs in.

With Travis Head and Captain Bison belting the hosts around the ground for the first half of the innings, the Aussies ended up losing 10 wickets for 77 runs and were then comfortably chased down.

While plenty of credit needs to be paid to Sri Lanka for their highest ever successful run chase on home soil, questions are being asked as to what went wrong for the boys in green and gold.

Moving to allay the concerns in typical Travis Head fashion, Travis Head has told the people who watch T20 cricket on a paywall in the middle of the night to chill.

"Nah don't stress," laughed Trav.

"We've won everything there is to win over the last few years and we are coming off the back of SMOKING the Poms in the Ashes, so the boys are just bit gassed."

"And we've really been getting into our stilt fishing," he laughed, referencing the Sri Lanka activity that has reportedly taken hold of the group of the last few days.

"Been a nice break from the golf course actually."

"Pretty stoked to smack a very koraburuwa yesterday before the game."

"Bison can't catch shit, which has been pretty funny."

"Stoin just lies on the beach trying to tan and Maxy's not allowed near the water."

"Smudge thinks we are idiots and has just been playing Rapala Pro Bass on the PSP in the hotel."

"Anyway, yeah, it's been a lot of fun, but it might have distracted the group a bit."

"That's cricket."

"We'll come good."

More to come.
