Meaning, one team's decay doesn't automatically mean another's rise. It's when all teams involved get better is when the game improves and thrives. If Australia today are more fallible than they have been, it only means, more ordinary games of cricket where the winner is the team that cocks up fewer things than the team playing high-quality cricket.

Obviously middle order batsmen don’t hit their straps until they reach 40. Of possibly more amusement is the quote in some places that this is the start of a “Golden Age” in Indian cricket.
