Honestly think I would've been rooting for this Australian team from the beginning if they just hadn't been Australian and won 5 WCs already.
Congrats though. Like everyone said, they showed up when it mattered. You never write-off an Australian team in a WC.

Whatever it takes!!!
There is honestly no way you can compare the pressure they feel vs what we feel ,esp in a home WC final.
I think this is why the loss stings a bit as well. This was the last chance for this generation of great players. Wonder who will be the superstars and pillars of Indian cricket in the future.

I understand that. But even for things that they go crazy about, eg Ashes, they always seem to find a lift. Much more often than not. Obviously 1.4 billion people and wall to wall coverage and pressure is a different animal and I’m not comparing the two directly. But they always find a way to be in the mix no matter what the situation. It’s admirable.

I actually think its an advantage that cricket is not that wildly followed there. Coz then they are treating it like a game and they will still be the same people the next day. Its very hard to do that in an Indian team environment or even the Pak or BD ones. I actually thought the one thing Babar was doing well for Pak was he was keeping them pretty chill as a side by his nature. But eventually this pressure of cricket being everything in the Indian SC gets to our sides. All of them.
Just makes what MSD did even more remarkable IMO.

Nah..then Aravinda should have been in 1996.
They will give it to Virat to send the crowd home happy. Sorta like wen the heel wins and then they let the faces beat them up off air to send the live crowd home happy in the WWE.

I mean Kohli scored a hundred in the SF and a fifty in the final. Can’t call him a choker atleast

Too bad, but 30K out of 130K would sound like that sometimes. The crowds in India generally wont applaud the boundaries and wickets from the opposition but when milestones happen there is usually applause even if its begrudging.
