I think the AUS team of the 80's was nowhere near as bad as people say. The team included some quality players: Allan Border, David Boon, Dean Jones, Geoff Marsh, Craig McDermott, Bruce Reid, Merv Hughes, Simon O'Donnell, and Greg Matthews. Lillee, Greg Chappell, and Rod Marsh also played until the end of 1983.
Let's not also forget that AUS won the World Cup in 1987, for the first time.
WI, ENG, and NZ were all just stronger throughout the 80's. Not enough credit is given by Australian (and others) cricket fans to this and the AUS players of that period.
