Somebody mentioned he had the shits about Venkat being made captain. Boycott was seething about Mike Denness captaining England here in 74-75 so it was a time for opening batsmen to be cranky about captaincy appointments.

Its amazing watching India and their fans just completely and utterly give up. Soft head *s.
Haven't even tried anything different to win, they're happy to just witness the greatness like the rest of us

I love posting on this thread but I'm done for the next hour or so. Time to give the television my undivided attention and savour these wonderful moments.
Probably leaving the country in a disguise just as we speak.
Just in case some of you want to go looking for the jersey of this world cup today don't bother. CA and Asics never released one

The whole team has done brilliantly. Even Warner and Marsh made great contributions when we were in the field which mitigates the brainfades somewhat. Smith burning a review while fielding, and not reviewing while batting probably the only real stinker of a match.

Sunny referenced this when Maxi hit his 100 off 40, he said I took 170 balls to make 36, he's made 100 in 40.

Strange, they've cruised through most of the WC though and someone has made a big score for them. They finally are challenged and crumble.
SAf put up a more worthy fight last game.

Two teams beat every other team this tournament. One, when it counted.

I'm wearing my 2015 World cup winning Aussie Jersey to work tomorrow
My Indian boss said we were no chance of winning on Friday
If I get sacked it will be worth it
Email him a picture of Head lol

Except for that time we did it
As good as Head has been, the team bowling/fielding performance set this up.
incredible given what India have been doing this entire tournament, right up to this final..

And South Africa had won 15 of their previous 18 games against Australia - doesn't mean much if you can't win the ones that really count.I don't mind saying India were the best team in this tournament. I don't mind saying it's easier to bat now than during the day. Both are true. But what's more true than both of those is that Australia are the World Cup winners. Now that is all that matters

At least he has given credit to the Aussies
Can't forget Labs here either, been rock solid at the other end.
