Maatteee...I think it's more impressive based on what I'm saying. The most impressive thing to me is cricketers who get it done in the pressure moments. Australia got that in spades throughout the tournament, they dove-tailed perfectly in terms of their performances. Maxwell stepped up in a huge moment. Head did it in both knockout games. Cummins bowled his best spell in the final. Marnus delivered. Across the tournament, everyone in the top 3 scored two hundreds around a few failures. The bowlers didn't necessarily have wonderful stats (Zampa aside) but all contributed when required. It was the epitome of how a team should win a tournament.

That enough Jeddi boy?
The most weird thing is that they got through the whole thing with the wrong team balance. Their biggest loss was Ashton Agar who would have been extremely valuable this tournament instead they went in with their 3 quicks + Green/Stoinis and/or Marsh for the whole thing which shouldn't have worked in India

This Indian team doesn't need a turner to win. Look at the pace attack they can beat Australia in their own backyard
It will, revenge for 2003 Final.
They sure thrashed aussis in the first league game. Who cares about the past, current Indian team and form is way better than aussis.
Life comes at you fast...

There is no question about skill. Even after defeat today India is a better skilled side.

Whatever it takes!!!
As I have pointed out many times here on CW, there is no future for LO teams without allrounders or at least batsmen who can bowl and bowlers who can bat.

Aus went with the most hb side (as some CWers call it) and they won. Quite simply, India were amazing but with the 11 we had since Hardik got injured, we were always a side without a plan B. It's harsh it had to bite us in the finals of all times but it was always a possibility. It's what separates a good to great side from a champion side. At least now, i hope the selectors invest in such players and see if they can better at the international level instead of running through specialists all the time.

Time to move away from Rohit + Kohli in White ball . We need a fresh leader with fresh ideas .
