Certified Legendary Thread 2023 ICC Men's Cricket World Cup Game 48 The Final India v Australia 19/11 1900hrs @ Narendra Modi Stadium

[010203]

That was some knock by Lloyd too, in the first world cup final in 75.

102 off 85 balls, when that rate of scoring wasn't the norm.

Against an attack mainly comprising Lillee, Thomson, Gilmour & Walker.

That tournament started with Sunil Gavaskar scoring at a strike rate of 20 against England and finished with Clive Lloyd scoring at a strike rate of 120.

 

[Andronicus]

Where is all that noise now?

 

[Magma]

hey look a slow bouncer why didnt trav just play a really dumb shot over his head

 

[theiaofseed]

Salty tears from this Indian ******* (Manjrekar?) banging on about conditions and ignoring the crazy swing on offer to the Indians.

Right? Did they forget about the swing in the first ten overs. It's liek they used a whole roll of duct tape

 

[freo_leo29]

So where is the public holiday? Is the media allowed to report on alternative sports like cricket or does only the matildas matter?

They'll never offer a public holiday on a sport that we actually might win

Indian fielders all on the fence... just hit some singles boys.

 

[Southerntakeover]

Sanjay trying to take credit from Australias win, saying the Indians had harder conditions.

Suck it up Sanjay

It's certainly harder to bat first than to play the final in the other team's country. India brave.

 

[Santana]

Yep purely as let’s be real Gilchrist could have got a duck and we’d have won that final we were streets ahead. Head fails here and we are lucky to win this final

I don't want to take anything away from Gilchrist's innings. He completely set up that win but Head's innings was really up against it

 

[Retzlaff]

Sanjay Manjrekar: It felt like India won

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Only 3 overs to Siraj until now. Clearly a lack of faith there.

Which raises a question wouldn’t you just play Ashwin? Lengthens the batting in the process too

 

[Topkent]

retaining is the same thing for me.

It's not really though. It's better than losing but it's just cashing in on the work of a previous series. Plus only rained saved us from the most epic choke of all time.

 

[Scorpus]

Seeing Jadeja do absolutely nothing against us for once is a breath of fresh air

 

[Moonwatcher]

I love the fact that celebrations can only last like 24 hours (if we win of course) due to an all important 5 game T20 series.

We'll go to collect the cup to only find a note that we only get the cup if we beat them in the T20

 

[damicky]

I'm going to be ratshit at work tomorrow.

It should be a Public Holiday

 

[Magma]

biggest score in the 2nd innings of a world cup final i believe from trav

 

[RossFC]

Bang!

 

[serial_thrilla]

Hmmm. Yes.
This is good. Am I right, Headless?

 

[k31th]

Head just seeing them like beach balls... just swatted that away for 6

 

[Aussie_boy]

What a shock we'll be the first team to hold the Test, ODI and T20 world titles if we win here.

There has been a T20 WC since we won it. We hosted it, remember that?

 

[SSwans2011]

hey look a slow bouncer why didnt trav just play a really dumb shot over his head

The conditions didn't make him to play a bad shot poorly :/

 

[ep2018]

What a shock we'll be the first team to hold the Test, ODI and T20 world titles if we win here.

England won last years T20 WC

 

[new breed]

Nerves of Steel has Travis !!!

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Great call by Capt Woke at the toss too, don't forget that!

Captain and coach on here get slated a lot.
Both are responsible for ensuring 2023 has us as World Test Champions, ODI World Cup champions (impending) and have taken the Urn home as well.

 

[Bedi]

I'll say it again - inspired decision by Cummins. For a year that started with so much difficulty for him personally, he's on the cusp of completing a magnificent WTC, Ashes, WC treble.

he's genuinely every bit the champion we all hoped he'd be.

 

[Ephemeral Hope]

Howie is ******* hilarious just pure hype juxtaposed with the depressed Indian commentators
