And particularly not having Head for the first few games, lose their first two games, it’s a great achievement and given those circumstances and in sub continent conditions, possibly the greatest of their 6 50 over world titles.
@@Xinnie_The_Flu you think Australia isn't the most successful cricketing nation in history? LMAO! What XI is that, something BCCI has told them to do. Bradman, Lillie/Mcgrath, Warne, none if your past players come close to thise 3 in batting, spin or pace bowling.
@@Alunticstalkedme4072 Bradman used to play with midwives of some English queen. While Warne was good, Muralidharan was way better. And as for fast bowlers, I don't see anybody coming close to the records Shami has built up in this world cup, but even in his era McGrath was nowhere near as lethal as Shoaib Akhtar, or Wasim or Waqar. Now we have Kohli and Rohit, Kohli just beat Tendulkar's record of most 100s and the best Aussie batsman was Ricky Ponting and even he is like 20 100s behind Kohli and Tendulkar. And he's behind Rohit too. You're day dreaming if you actually think this Aussie team is better than this Indian team, they won the match fair and square I'll give them that but if it was best 2 out of 3, you'd have seen who the better team is.😉
Australia are clearly the undisputed, dominant and superior ODI cricket playing nation. Brazil has 5 football world cups .. Australia has 6 ODI works cups and they gave India an absolute spanking in their own back yard to win no6. Astonishing result. It will take generations to catch up to Australia for any team, let alone surpass them. Congratulations to Australia. Brilliantly executed tournament, anc let’s not forget their results in 2023 beating India for the world test championship in England too, as well as restraining the ashes.. in England. No other country can come close to that achievement. No one.
@@patriot1066 Seeing as Australia lost that series and all three involved players got banned I'm not really seeing how the cheating helped them exactly. Care to explain?
The whole world have been praising India’s dominance in ODI cricket for years now and the world rankings reflect this fact so for you to ignore this and assert something completely different is hilarious. If one’s life depended on it in a 5 series of ODI cricket between Australia and India nobody - not even you - would dare to pick Australia to win. They just got lucky in one game - that’s it mate;)
What's big difference between India n England now Both lost 2023 world cup This is even hilarious Spinning Chennai for AUSTRALIA Sluggish Lucknow for ENGLISH Lowie Kolkata for PROTEAS over night pitch change for KIWIS. FELL IN SLOW SLUGGISH TRAP AT AHMEDABAD. 10/10 FOR THE VENUES N SCHEDULING COMMITTEE not the team india.
Too much greed meant that T20 was effectively prioritized over 50 over format. So much so that I even heard people within the cricket fraternity questioning the purpose of the 50 over game. Personally I think 50 overs should stay.
@@Regional123 It was a great catch and showed a lot of guts, but hardly an amazing athlete. Most of the guts he's shown has been hanging out of the skin tight Aussie shirt of hus.
It probably is based on the circumstances and beating a great Indian side in India. Ripping throight South Africa twice (ok 1 was a tie) to get to the Final.in '99 will always be special though.
Well done to our Aussie boy's, field settings and fieding efforts made such a difference, drying up Indias boundaries for most of their innings. Travis Head what an intelligent innings, knowing when to rain it in after Marsh's dismissal, fearless!
I disagree... In india genuine sports enthusiasts know that wins matter more... It's just the sheep mentality ones (and there's a lot given our population being 1.4 billion) that would prefer worshipping an Instagram star for the number of centuries he scored rather than the cups.. Sensible Indians today are furious and wanted an immediate overhaul of this ridiculously underperforming team when it comes to any important cup match... Zero cups in last ten years with the highest possible funding in the planet.. can u believe it.. what a shame for a talented, diverse and rich country like india
World Cups are about peaking at the right moment and finding ways to win from improbable moments. That's how Australia won this- echoes their campaign in the 1999 wc
True that. Even the nature of that semi against SA had quirky simlarites. needing to chase 213, Taking out the top order and relying on a 6th wicket partnership to give you a lifeline, getting off to a flyer at the start of your chase only for your middle order to falter. Only difference is aus batted second this time and SA batted second in 99 and that unlike SA, the aussies got over the line.
I feel for the Indian players because they had set a very high bar in their 10 straight victories. They made the Aussies eat humble pie and look ordinary in the first game. I think Australia's was a jaded team then, having played more overseas than at home. India forced Australia to look hard at itself and start playing better one day cricket. NZ did the same ... and the Aussies had to dig deep and work harder than before. It made for a tougher team, but also a team where the players supported and believed in each other. Their support team of coaches, doctors, physios and others also played a critical role, especially in treating Travis Head and Glen Maxwell. Thus, Australia's win didn't "just happen". It took talent, disciplined training, careful thought and self belief and ... courage. To play in the grandstand in front of 132,000 Indian fans, and to play so well, against a very great team made up of some of the greatest batsmen and bowlers of this generation was awesome. It made for a great tournament, one that will be remembered for years to come.
It was NO "FLUKE" as some dimwit suggests, it was not based on the notion that India was due to loose one, that's stupid, Australia lost its first two, and from there found the depth of resilience they usually find and never lost another game from that point.
Love bein an Aussie , so many stories , like , Waugh ,steve , in a World cup Final v Sth Africa , was on about 40 when he cut one straight to Herchelle Gibbs , and it went in , but Gibbs dropped it , Chasing a big total , , Waugh, stares a Gibbs and says , CONGRATULATIONS SON , YOU JUST DROPPED THE WORLD CUP , and true to his word won one of now 6 , and everyone else hates it , loving it RARARA
What a heist! Was just an incredible WC moment. No the coronation didn’t happen but to engineer a win against the greatest team assembled in World Cups was epic. It just doesn’t happen. As was Maxi’s double, this was a one off! Respect to India. What they gave the final was total credibility. To win against that side elevated the achievement. Never shall it be lessened!
@@Nothing-kr5hn "we sent them on ships...." Typical...every Englishman thinks they are part of the aristocracy. What a great magic trick the rich have performed over you poor sods.
Zampa helped turn the tournament for us really. When you think about game three against SriLanka where SL were 150/1 and Aussies looking cooked. Zampa turned that game and from there we built the rest of the campaign. Big credit for Zampa

@@Bobby-rq5eg India lost again on the biggest stage. Australia are and always be big game winners anywhere in the world. India couldn't beat us on their own turf.
I hate watching Indian cricket on TV. One minute the crowd goes absolutely mad for a Kohli forward defensive, and the next, something goes against them, and they go completely silent
I believe this may even impact the Indian players confidence and self belief also…it’s like the crowd stop believing if the opposition dares to compete, you can imagine what’s it like 100K capacity stadium…. Becoming a library at the drop of a hat..
They're the shittest sports fans in the world. Watching their stadiums empty when it's apparent they aren't going to win is just pathetic. Absolutely no concept of grace or sportsmanship
India were 4 for 3 in the 1st game and Australia drop Kholi. If Marsh takes that catch India may have been bowled out. Also when India began bowling, the pitch was at its most deadly... only that Head got his eye in and Smith and Marnus were not looking in much trouble. Smith was given out, but was not out. So i think yes India had a fantastic tournament, but Australia were always good enough to beat them.
I absolutely hated indian team's unsportsmanlike behaviour after the final.....loved how Pat Cummins and his boys managed to shut the indian hooligans up !!!
Australia don't ever take a backwards step if they make a final. They always talk openly about going and winning a World Cup and it's clear they mean it also. India had the pressure with the fans, home ground and to try keeping a winning run intact. Pressure is what finals like these have above all other games in a World Cup. India weren't their usual selves in this match and that cost them dearly and their ability to play as freely.
I can only agree. Honestly I gave us only the slimmest chance, playing against a powerhouse white ball team on their own turf! In more than 50 years of following Australian cricket, I feel that this is amongst their greatest achievements
India are a team of champions and such a team will always be vulnerable to a champion team. India players are treated like gods. Don’t dare criticise them especially if you are a not Indian. Because the India fans base their support on fanatical emotion, not critical practicality. Australia players are treated rather differently in Australia .. play well we cheer them, play badly or overstay your welcome ( Ponting being a classic example) then they are rightly called out. This loss will sting the India players egos forever.
Even though Australia lost early wickets, the runs they got in the first 4 or 5 overs didn’t let them get into any run rate pressure in the whole innings!
Australia went in with a plan and stuck to it hoping for the best, India simply wilted under the burden of expectation. Was a strange pitch to make, can’t understand why they’d choose to lay out a slow pitch when they have such great shotmakers and fast bowlers. But considering how much stronger the Indian team was over any other team in the cup, they really did blow it. Was theirs for the taking even before the tournament began. Every single test team in this cup, except South Africa, was weaker than they were 4 years ago. Unfortunate, and these things happen, but it just shows how you have to keep your head to get the job done… Pakistan in 99, India in 2003, South Africa in 2007 (semifinals), NZL in 2015, each of them buckled and didn’t even put up a fight. In the 2019 semis, England stuck to their game plan and strengths and thrashed Australia.
It was a tactical masterclass with the ball after winning the toss and fielding (against conventional wisdom) to restrict this Ind batting line up to a sub par 240… then an abs masterpiece from heady (ably supported by marn) to secure a 6th CWC title and more importantly “THE DOUBLE”… it’s Australia doing Australia things maaaaate… CMON!
Rohit didn’t really have to captain other than setting a basic field throughout the tournament. Batting first the Indians blitzed it, Bowling first the Indians blitzed it. Until the final and sorry to say but they choked. The Aussies on the other hand after getting flogged in the first 2 games had to really fight to win a couple of their group games, Cummins captaincy improved throughout and could almost have got the player of the final on his captaincy alone, long live odi’s 👌
I have Never Seen Adam Gilchrist when he played for Australia but I can certainly say I have witnessed Travis Head who gives the confidence as much as Adam Gilchrist, opening in the ODI and bat in the middle order in Test
I suspect all the fanfare about Kohli surpassing Tendulkar’s record didn’t help their mentally. All the theatrics that entailed, including stopping and picking him out in the crowd, seemed to almost relegate the teams actual point for being there to a secondary consideration. Team of champions Vs a champion team.
Zero sympathy as India had all the advantages, the got the pitch they wanted, home ground advantage and the crowd as well. Whereas the Aussies had a strategy from the start, they statistically and meticulously researched the ground conditions, concluding that bowling first was best due to the dew later making it easier to bat, rotating the bowling so India couldn’t get into a rhythm which happened after they lost 3 wickets, aggressive fielding then restricting the runs with their clever field placements. They put on enough runs early before losing wickets but even then they stayed calm, Head played aggressively while Marcus held down the other end. Australia outplayed India, it’s that simple.
Its a shame the Indian players didn't have the nerve to stay out on the field and watch the full ceremonie. The camera crew new not to focus on disappointed Indian player's.
When you make statements like " there's nothing more satisfying than silencing 140k people " who hosted you graciously at their home... What else do u expect?
@@Bruh-jw2ze How many applauded Travis when he got his ton. How many had the guts to stay to the end. Sometimes it's good sportsmanship to be gracious in defeat. Quit whinging Bruh, you lost take it like a man.
@@appresley4071 literally everybody at the stadium gave a standing ovation at head's century and Australia's win... I was at the stadium u bigoted r3tard Sure Indians are an emotional lot who rooted for their team but they give credit where it's due
Beautiful win for the best Cricketing Nation in the World !!!!!! AUSTRALIA !!!!!!!!! whooooohooo ! NEVER HEARD A BIG CROWD LIKE THAT SO SILENT bahahahaha i loooooove AUSTRALIA xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxxo
Australia despite losing 2 games & were on the verge of losing to Afhanistan when they were 71/7 but then Maxwell played the innings of the World Cup by scoring 201 & putting on 202 with Cummins contributing just the 16. But Travis Head scored centuries in the semi-final & final.
I think something that hasn’t been mentioned enough is the Indian’s batmen’s (perhaps over-)confidence in their bowling team and reliance on Kohli, which I felt was evident in the way Rahul batted. Or am I way off?
Australia , won and lost but won when it mattered , because they know how too win , india , was a monty to buckle if acid could be applied so fielding becomes primary 1%er , ergo , " Catches win matches " once the seed of doubt was sown , this game was an Anaconda crushing it's prey , squeezed the life out of them , amazing effort , 100% fairdinkum under dogs , but , forged in fire , 6 time champion ,amazing , Ric RARARA
Whatever the result from one Knokoff match India remains TOP of ODI, Test, T20 rankimgs with Table toppers in almost last 3 odi world cup and that result comes from being consistent. So Champion 🏆 is one who consistently stays on TOP.
in Oz we are taught to play hard and never give up starting as kids in grass roots cricket.... i would love to see the game expand There is alot of talented teams for example netherlands.... I would love to see these countries get more exposure perhaps let them play against + train with the. big nations A sides on a regular basis.
Klusner is the greatest 1 day batter I have ever seen in a World Cup tournament, it’s 1 thing to bat with 8 wickets behind you it’s another with 2 where the other guy is a bowler and you have to retain strike
38:18 you’re saying India should have followed England’s example and intentionally prepare pitches that suit flat track bullies with no defensive techniques when that is their best chance of winning? Similar to the ashes. That is a little unfair on India to make that comparison to that England team. India have a far superior and more flexible batting line up.
Aus win 2 World Cups and a t20 World Cup either side of Englands one odi World Cup with basically their test team😂. They don't need some nonsense "revolution" to be able to compete😂
There's a certain irony with Butcher talking about conditions changing between innings being a leveler. the groudn which has the most lopssided difference between first and second innings is Wankhede. With most scores in the first innings being in the high 300 to over 400, and the average in the second innings until the final one played by NZ being 199 in response. Massive differences between SR for both batsmen and bowlers between innigns aas well as averages. India won their semi convincingly, but it was the least convincing win of all the games played at Wankhede (other than the miraculous Maxwell game which defied the trend). Perhaps if India had been a little elss dominant throughout the comp, that performance would have been scrutinised a bit more.
I felt that too in the semi, the Kiwis fought really hard in extremely difficult conditions. They never looked like they would win, but to perform as they did was impressive. India didn't look invincible. Australia wont win them all, and when they do inevitably miss out one day, I hope it's the Kiwis that take the trophy, they deserve one.
@@MaheshKrishnan-mh8dx Both sucks as coach. Year of tiger. lots of energy but no strategy. He cant win IPL because he is not a good coach. Talk is cheap. No one believe ricky ponting.

India's tactical ineptitude made Aussie Win. India really have no plan. It relied on individual brilliance. There was no strategy when it comes to batting. Bowling as well. I was screaming for a weak that Muhammed shami is not good opening bowler. Yet they opened with shami.
England could have won the Ashes , the declaration in the first game was stupid . India runs the ICC , this world cup was to long , India would have won if the final was a week ago but thats what India wanted , money , and second the ICC wanted a new pitch for the finals , and India said no , so no complaints about the dry pitch juicing up under lights
Phil notices world cricket requires a tiny country like Australia (25million) to long continue punching above its weight, when the behemoth India has potential to make the next few decades a bit boring with their domination. New Zealand did really well again, tangent: kudos to England having a good plan for Travis Head, he could have made the recent ashes really uninteresting. If England find their form again wow, and Afghanistan, congratulations.
i always thought head was a pretty ordinary player. but i stand corrected. it seems players need a gestation period then blossom . but as usual , cricket is a mental game and head noises must be tossed out (play on words )
As an Indian I also admire your cricket team. Travis was destined to be a great batsman for Australia. I have been seeing his progress from the 2012 under 19 World Cup to the big bash league matches for Adelaide strikers and from 2021 ashes in the gabba he made a quick 152 on a tough batting pitch and shifted the momentum towards his side which set the tone for Australia to thrash England. He was clinical in the WTC final vs India earlier this year as well when he counter attacked and made a quick fire 163, and it set the tone for Australia to dominate throughout the match. Now he has cemented his legacy for sure as one of the great players for Australia
Aussies had a very slow start. They could have lost against Pakistan too if Warner was not dropped early in his innings. Srilanka match too was not easy either. Afghans took Australia to the brink. Australia was saving their best for later stages and then it was no stopping them.
