The fact that it's held here rather than Delhi or Mumbai feels a bit weird.If i remember correctly, it was actually renamed, quite possibly with this final in mind.

He wants to be on strike to win this ... And probably with a six.10 runs to win and Head calling for 2
Spent time in Australia and talked to a lot over the years to get the impression that while cricket may not be the number 1 sport in terms of tribal support compared to the footy codes, it is the one sport where most people of all ages have at least some passing interest. I get the impression that's why the Australian cricket team are held to a higher expectation because the casuals who may not have paid much focus when they won every time in the 90s/2000s were well aware when they were going through a decline.It's bloody insane. I suspect the locals don't even care about the game but they keep producing winning teams.
Yep very Michael Owen for me.Often the key in winning games of cricket.
It is. 100k+ capacity but getting there from anywhere else has been a nightmare.The fact that it's held here rather than Delhi or Mumbai feels a bit weird.
It's the same with the batting. People like to joke about Bazball or intent, but you've got to move the game on. You can't just coast along. You look for wickets, or you look to score runs. You'll get punished for playing passive cricket more often than you will for playing aggressive cricket.Quite an embarassing loss tbh. Instead of going full on when Aussies where 47-3, we let them build on.
Pathetic showing from Indian team overall.
IndeedFor India to be so cartoonishly dominant all tournament long, barely broken a sweat in any game, and then themselves get absolutely battered in the final in India is very funny. I think we all have to agree about that.
They lost to Scotland in the qualification tournamentAlright, probably a bit of a silly question at this stage, but why weren't The West Indies in this tournament?
shirt burnings all round.So how bad is it going to be in India for the next few days?
What will the atmosphere be like?
You have to think almost everyone assumed they'd win and it would be party time.
The good news is that there are no obvious scapegoats. That tends to get ugly, esp if the scapegoat is MuslimSo how bad is it going to be in India for the next few days?

Maxwell deserves it tbfSo close to finishing it off with a 4. Maxwell to sneak in and claim the glory
Labuschagne did well to steady the innings but he has stopped India from getting further embarrassed.
Yeh, that is rightAm I right in thinking Australia lost two games in the group, and got revenge on those two teams in the semi and final?
Outside Travis Head, he is the other reason they have won the world cup. He did the exact thing that was needed.Labuschagne did well to steady the innings but he has stopped India from getting further embarrassed.
