Fairly average for most of the tourney but decimated the Indians in the end.

Was 9 wins on the trot wasn't it...pretty bl00dy good!

Imagine a WC win on Sunday and maybe Reid and Curtins on Monday!....on the piss big time if it goes down

LOVE IT...On it !

HOW BLOODY GOOD

Stick that up ya India

 

[Dazzler9]

And beat the two teams we lost to in the pool games in the finals.

Beat every team once

So did India

 

[Dazzler9]

I missed our dig unfortunately (Did the "dew come in"?). What an awesome scoreline to wake up to.

I'll happily eat humble pie about the choice to bowl, which looked decidedly shaky when Sharma was at the crease. Cummins' captaincy was excellent, however. The bowling was first rate and was backed up by a desperate fielding unit.

6 World Cups. What next for this Aussie juggernaut? Oh yeah, a 5 match T20 series versus India starting later this week

Player of the Match

Player of the tournament

 

[Dazzler9]

Travis Head, WTC Final Player of the Match, CWC semi-final Player of the Match, CWC Final Player of the Match.

That's a helluva big game player.

 

[Dazzler9]

Lol, I've only listened to the first minute so far, but fair call

Keen for a victory lap by FKASC

Believe he called this weeks ago.

 

[Astro7]

Amazing result, really thought the Indian bowlers would towel us up.
Indians not very gracious hosts at presentation ceremony, stadium emptied, Indian team didn't stay on field...

 

[ioppolo]

I watched the highlights and you could hear a pen drop in the stadium when Maxwell hit the winning runs. Never has deathly silence been so satisfying.

Fully expected to see him in here tooting his own horn. Was a great call.

I would normally just call in Retired but it's draft day. Enjoy your day everyone and see you all on the other side of the draft.

I have never rated Cummins captaincy but he captained at the level of Waugh or Border last night. He didn't have the best team on the field and the conditions weren't made for an Australian side, but through some great bowling choices, amazing fielding and his own bowling he ensured Australia took home it's 6th world cup. Most teams have won none. England and India two. Australia have made the semi final or final every time since 1996 and since the shock 1996 final loss have made the final 5 more times for 5 Victories and every single one of them a dominant victory.

Small correction. England have only won the WC once. The Windies have won it twice.

I believe you have not considered moral WC titles.

 

[Ochre]

In the past 30 years the only time the WC has been won by a team that wasn't hosting was Australia in 99, Australia in 03, Australia in 07 and Australia in 23.
