How much did slip cordons affect McGrath's and Wasim's records?

The fact that Aussies are all of a sudden giving importance to ODIs after losing two consecutive BGTs at home.....

I want to agree with you brother but that 2023 WC Final loss will hurt us for a long time

I don't CARE FOR ODIs..... Don't care for ODIs..... Don't care for ODIs..... It's the lesser format... "Sigh" Don't care for ODIs since 19th November last year.....

What if India wins this cup?

T20 WC is lesser of the 2 WCs .
T20 WC = Home Test series
ODI WC = Overseas Test series imo

But ODI format seems to have an expiry date i.e. it's likely to become redundant in the near future so history won't care who won what.

It'll ultimately be Tests and T20s with the latter format flourishing more globally. So truth be told, future generations will look at how many T20 WCs have nations won..
and possibly also who's been winning the Olympics Gold.

So get over it.

The first couple were a bit of a joke but ODI World Cups from ~ 1980s - 2020s will always be the peak achievements in cricket looking back, regardless of what happens to ODIs in the future. Even more than the Ashes.

T20 World Cups are a lottery and a dime a dozen, I actually couldn't tell you who won any of them other than the last 2, and that's only because of recency

Yeah I think even if ODIs are phased out the WC winners would be looked at as the pioneer achievements.

We may take T20s as a lesser format now but go 20-30 years in the future and it will be the main format and these world cups will easily be the main thing by then.

I think breaking the ICC Trophy Curse would be of paramount importance for Indian fans.

What should annoy you more is that we give them very little importance at all, but we still win world cups.

That is the key to performing well imo .
Your players take it as a sports, our players get psyched out to excess pressure and freeze at the crucial moments.

Our LoI team has a shortage of players with true big dick mentality.

You know what..... I can't even. But we'll, two back to back BGTs; the second one with our B team

Thanks to media and Kohli-style mega intense captaincy (sorry Kohli, love you but it's true)

The second one is what he is talking about. Playing under less pressure and expectations.

That's the thing. When this tournament for a nation like Australia is relatively less important than the Ashes and other Big Test series, they are relaxed going into it and thus able to perform at their best. Meanwhile subcontinent sides are going crazy with pressure & expectations and failing.

Congratulations. The world cup of BGT. We'll take the actual test championship and real World Cups.

 

[OverratedSanity]

This is gross and you're lying to yourself

and real World Cups.

However, this is true and based

Please don't act now as if like the WTC Final is much more than a joke.... Can't say much about World Cups except them being lesser version of the sport.

It's only a joke because you can't win it.

There's a reason the trophy is so phallic.
