Look it’s been a horrible WC Final for us all but let’s not forget that SKY failed, which is nice

It's a shame he didn't choke on his chewing gum on the way back to the pavilion.

How many overs till Aus chase this down:

OS - 29 overs
Burgey - 36 (aka the number of years since he was last able to get it up)
kraken - 38
cnerd123 - 39 overs
silentstriker - 41
Window & GoodAreasShane - 42
Redbacks 43
stephen 44
morgieb - 47
Gnske - 48
ashley bach - 49

thierry henry and GIMH - Aus won't chase this

under 40 looking very unlikely although with wickets in hand the aussies may prefer to take a risk and get home quicker.... (inside 5 overs would be about 10 an over though

 

[subshakerz]

If I was an Indian fan, I am not sure if I would really laud this team. It frankly is too bittersweet to build an ATG side and then have them so massively underperform when it matters.

 

[thierry henry]

It was also a good World Cup for NZers with ‘Mitchell’ in their name, despite it being a BS name invented by Australian cricketers

Someone once commented on an IG video of me playing the scoop shot in nets that I 'reminded him of SKY'

what a ****ing ****

Does harshal realize that unlike sky the aussie batsmen are not attempting to flick/pull slower ball bouncers?

 

[Darwin Award]

Indian tabloids will be an entertaining read the following day..

Wonder how many players/reasons blamings scathings they'll have stacked up for this dismal capitulation at the final hurdle.

This is a running theme tbf. They turn listless in the field the moment there’s a little bit of pressure. Has happened in multiple overseas test matches as well.

 

[Gob]

Surely Bumrah should bowl out here

I mean Shami and Bumrah should be bowling out

They're going to love this comment

[MW1304]

This is Australia's greatest WC win right?

 

[Burgey]

Comms talking about the difficulty of playing slower balls in the afternoon session, but India has hardly bowled any tonight, Bumrah excepted

was rather set up for them to fail with all the talk of unbeaten sides winning it in the past etc

might also regret D/N, didn't hurt them in the semis but may well be what costs them instead of maybe a more even contest

WT20 too. First time I've seen a side so obviously give up after about five overs

 

[Window]

I remember staying up till early in the morning in 2003 as a kid for that final and being utterly devastated. Today’s not as bad but getting flashbacks to that deep pit in my stomach. Oh well, fun while it lasted.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Siraj is bowling slower balls here now

They'll just blame the toss. Gavaskar already won't stop talking about it
