There's enormous pressure on Australian players to do well at every single game, Test, ODI's 20/20, the whole shebang..........

The problem is, no-one can be 100% all the time, so these guys are loading pressure on themselves and the media, with their constant harping about "aussies are number 1, bring back the gold, come home with your shield or on it, etc etc" is NOT helping..

The other thing that Australia is doing poorly; is fostering new players into the top level, so the existing guys are being burned up at an increasing rate as Australia fights to hold onto the top spot across the differing levels of the game....... The Selectors should know better, they've been there, but these days they think politically, not sportingly, (sorry, that's not a real word, but you get what I mean)...
