1999 was pretty amazing. Poor start in that, every match was an elimination final from a fair way out. Steve Waugh's ton in the Super 6 match, Warne's spell in the tied semi.
India have taken over from England in running cricket.India were like Tex with an empty plane seat next to him for the trip home in 2017.
This is not the Indian script & I’m not sure how the country that thinks it owns cricket will cope.
Indeed a victory for the ages. Well done Aussies!!!
And losing to Australia in the big games!
Agree. Fantastic effort. Shame about the time zone.Great news to wake up to!
Well done lads!
Not at all bizarre. Certainly not saying he isn't one of our greatest bowlers, but his form in 2023 hasn't been that great.
IIRC that is where most of the criticism has been levelled.
Yes he gets wickets. He also has been leaking runs and spraying it around a fair bit in recent years, and in particular at this World Cup. His lack of control is clearly evident.
Cummins played this game to perfection as skipper.
His bowling rotations and field placements were spot on.
Can't say I have seen this from him before, at least not to this extent. Hopefully this is evidence of his development in the role, ala Cotch.
I have had serious doubts about his captaincy before, but what his team has achieved this year has been amazing, if a little less than convincing on occasion.
The reality in this game though is that Australia looked in control the whole way through.

England player Ben Stokes said he was delighted to win another trophy, after beating Australia 5-0 in the recent Ashes series.
Head's brilliant catch proved his commitment to this final. Great game by him and the team. They're sore losers in India. Show some applause for the oppo especially in a final. Head's century was all silent. At least they played AC/DC in the end.
Not to mention bowling our nemesis Kohli at a crucial time in the game when he was set to go on with it. The stunned look of disbelief on Virat's face was priceless.
It’s great he turned it around and he has undoubtedly been a great bowler but I reckon he was probably saved because we didn’t have a viable back up, Abbott only.
Starc was awful against NZ and looked way out of form and at 35 it could be expected that he may be on the way out.
In the end it was just as well we didn’t have an alternative!!
Well done lads. Stayed up till the end of the indian innings. Thought we were a slight chance. Woke up during the night and saw we were 3 for not many and thought uhoh. Woke up and saw the result. Incredible. Beating a great team on their home turf with 100,000+ fanatical supporters against you takes some doing. Congratulations.
PS: It’s good to see the boys took those warmup games that just wrapped up seriously for the all important T20 games starting in a few days. Obviously not enough cricket being played in India lately

What a World Cup, the Aussies would not be denied, the sweetest of victories.
Sharma will be kicking himself getting out the way he did when he had already taken 10 off the over. He was looking so dangerous.
India won 10 successive games, Australia won 9............including the one that counts.

Whilst searching for something I stumbled across this interactive 3D replica of the Ashes urn. Pretty cool to get an up & close feel for it.

About 15 years ago you got a free Ashes urn replica when you bought a slab of someone’s beer (can’t remember). So I bought a few slabs and had a few replicas, think I’m down to just one now.Whilst searching for something I stumbled across this interactive 3D replica of the Ashes urn.
