Most of us knew that the 2 best teams were India and Australia and that the most likely final would be between them. Even when Australia had lost first 2 games, I was still reasonably sure that Australia can go all the way.

So we had like 47 games to end up with the most obvious final. May have been better to have a GRAND 5 match ODI World/Championship Series to decide the best team between the two. Needlessly waited 6 weeks and 47 matches. :p

Can Australia afford to play someone as inconsistent as Adam Zampa or should they use Head and Maxwell as spinners and pick the unluckily dropped Marcus Stoinis which would add extra batting depth

So they played a series before the WC and now they are gonna be involved in the final.
No big deal.

Glorious uncertainties.

Should we have a half-time show?

And why is the answer ‘yes’

Come on India, let’s get a Bollywood extravaganza!!!

Yeah you're right, only India and Australia should've been playing in the tournament.
Then have a 15 match series, with the first team getting to 8 wins becoming the world champions.

If you have any doubts about my claims, please check my posts from before and beginning of the WC, I have been right behind Australia doing well. The lineup is full of stars. They may be a bit inconsistent at times but too much talent to **** up.

That ODI series before the WC was such a funny event where both teams decided to rest, I mean, HIDE their key bowlers, knowing the likelihood..

Mate this is just another walk in the park for Australia. Finals are just what they do.
Only India will be nervous TBH.

7 of the Australian starters have already won an ODI World Cup (2015).

Warner
Smith
Marsh
Maxwell
Starc
Cummins
Hazlewood

So I don't believe they would be under any big pressure or nerves like India. Plus they also won the WTC recently as well as a T20 World Cup in 2021.

India meanwhile have won ..... f all.

Everyone thought it would be between India, Australia and England. The rest probably shouldn't have bothered coming.

Surprise packet was South Africa being decent and England being terrible, those 2 basically swapped positions from expectations
