No doubt Australia played well in the field. But India looked very timid after Rohit got out. Australia played better cricket and coped much better with the pressure.

All of the spontaneity has been sapped out of sport. Even trophy presentations are soulless and corporate. The 1999 wins at Edgbaston and then Lord's had a natural explosion of joy about them.

Identical to mine.

I think India bottled it to an extent.

They get more and more drawn out. UEFA Champions League was bad, the game finished at midnight and I didn't get to my hotel until 4am.

I'm sure the great man is watching over this with a beer in his hand and a tear in his eye.

I reckon Ravi is a great bloke. But this really isn't his calling in life, is it?

Atherton would have been better.

The police would be getting called out for noise disturbances. Throw in Danny Morrison and all police leave would be cancelled.

Well this is it. If people are humble and classy with me then I reciprocate. If not, they get it both barrels. What you tend to find is that all fanbases have a bit of both.

It was all geared up for a light show for the Indian procession.....oh dear!

They might now :)

It's the biggest prize in cricket. And it's ours once again!

The joy of six.

Rubbish Head.... ;)

Funnily enough, I messaged the exact same thing to some friends:)

Class post mate. Class.

My break from this thread lasted all of five minutes! It's simply extraordinary. Six World Cups. Six. I am immensely proud of all of these boys. To have now seen us win the World Cup in all five regions, to have seen us beat everyone home and away in tests, to have seen us win the T20 in the...

I love posting on this thread but I'm done for the next hour or so. Time to give the television my undivided attention and savour these wonderful moments.

I don't mind saying India were the best team in this tournament. I don't mind saying it's easier to bat now than during the day. Both are true. But what's more true than both of those is that Australia are the World Cup winners. Now that is all that matters :)

We brought them home.

I'll say it again - inspired decision by Cummins. For a year that started with so much difficulty for him personally, he's on the cusp of completing a magnificent WTC, Ashes, WC treble.

He'll have a gigantic statue if he carries on like this.

Cheer up, Gavaskar!

Dreadful run. But who gives a f**k? :)

If we'd have beaten RSA, we'd have played NZ on a tricky wicket at Old Trafford. I fancy we'd have won that and then won the final at Lord's on that 240 wicket. All hypothetical, of course.

That's what pissed me off about 2019. If we'd have beaten South Africa in the last group game, we'd have likely gone on to win that World Cup. As it was, we ended up playing England on a road at Edgbaston in the semi...

Madness. Containment won't get the job done. Rohit has been out-captained today.

Look at India's body language - shoulders drooped, hands on hips. Give them no freebies.

Travis really deserves 100.
