India are definitely talent stacked and more professional than they have ever been.
Aussies battled hard and took there chances.
Special win tonight.

Seriously i cant believe it.
All of my sporting sides in domestic competitions around the world have won SFA since i have been. Fremantle, Parramatta, Miami Dolphins, Fulham.
Yet i have seen the Aussies win 5 x ODI WCs out of the 7 they have played in since i was basically a cricket fan at age of 5.
For me ODI WCs will always be the pinnacle of short form cricket ahead of any T20 competition around the world. Its the most relevant cricket we see every 4 year cycle.

What a great win! Head dominated and Labschagne was the perfect support. It was our first all round performance of the world cup. We peaked at the right time.
Unlucky India.

Their wicket keeper was pretty awful. He let a lot of runs through.
That's what happens when you make a batsman double up as the keeper.
Remember Rishabh Pant? He had some swagger and wouldn't have folded so meekly with the bat. Was a pretty average keeper, but still would have been better than Rahul at both keeping and batting with some intent.

Pant (a much better batter and keeper than the incumbent and, as you say, a player who seizes moments) was involved in a significant car accident, with a long recovery time. In retrospect, it weakened them enough to have cost them this World Cup. In fact, whereas India looked like an unbeatable dynasty a couple of years ago, now they are quite reliant on a few champions, Kohli, Sharma, Bumrah, whose very best cricket is behind them. We might be able to beat them in Oz next time and hold all the worthwhile trophies.

Minus the moral ones
The media after the first two games was always a massive overreaction as I said at the time.Aussie’s brought their A game at the right timethought they wouldn’t even make finals after those first couple of games
Great win

We literally lost to the best team in the tournament and dropped another 50/50 game against quality opposition. It was never a disaster, just not ideal. Most of the remaining group stage games were either 50/50 or we were expected to win.
India despite being the best team most of the tournament looked vulnerable if you could limit the impact of their best 5-6 players. We could've beaten them in the opening game if we took our changes - New Zealand got close too. Like New Zealand in 2015 they didn't perform in the that matters most.
Which are the most important ones

Yeah, there's that. Although we should hope that England retains that one as it seems to correlate with them losing lots of cricket matches.

England man for man are better than us though. I guess that morally they won the world cup?
Your right about Pant he is the forgotten man out of last night. He has tormented us a few times.
Hardik Pandyia going down as well meant they didn't have an genuine all-rounder.
Similar to 2019 for India there Top 3 in Rohit, Kohli, Gill/Dharwan in 2019 scored the bulk of the runs in the round robin stage it left the middle/late order batsman with not enough runs or being in good enough come finals time. They got exposed by NZ in 2019 and were 3/5 in the semi final chasing 239 and lost by 10 runs.
Unfortunately Rohit & Kohli love the glory when in reality they should have moved the batting order around especially that last Netherlands game and even if meant those 2 came in at 5/6 gave the bottom half a proper hit and sacrificed there own personal glory for 100s.
Well its only ODI World Cup they would win.
2019 is voided as per Stuart Broad because it was a Tie.

If I were an English (former) skipper, I'd say that I don't think any of the Aussies would make the English team.
Come on who would want to play for that mob anyway.
Even Josh Inglis family realised and left that shithole they call England early enough to make him an Aussie.

Josh Giddy being investigated by the NBA for allegations he had an inappropriate relationship with an underage girl.
I really hope it’s crap. He was interviewed this morning and seemed pretty casual. It’s all just rumours that the girl is underage is my understanding.
