Show me some crying fans
The coverage was like a funeral and this comes from someone who wants to hear as little Aussie praise as possible.Ravi Shastri was so embarrassing in the last 20 minutes. Too busy crying over the losing team
Of course. They have to name a stadium after him and have the final there so he can be promoted even for this.If i remember correctly, it was actually renamed, quite possibly with this final in mind.
This is what India get for propping up players like Rahul. Now he's going to be the Indian captain.I started watching cricket in 2003 and watching us lose to Australia in that WC was heartbreaking to say the least. The fact that this has happened again - 6 more runs than what we could score 20 years ago and another ~200 run partnership from the Aussies to demolish us. I'm lost for words.
The number of times this team has let us down since 2011 is incredible. ALWAYS collapsed when it mattered the most. And this won't be the last.
BlimeyThey lost to Scotland in the qualification tournament
And many Indian fans worried this will happen.For 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.
Felt like an Indian organised ODI invitational. Not a world event.Awful world cup really wasn't it. Dull, badly planned and badly played by many teams. No classic game
England do ICC tournaments the best. 1/2 should be held here.Felt like an Indian organised ODI invitational. Not a world event.
I was worried for the KOs because this is where India chokes. Thought we got over that hurdle after beating our bogey team NZ but they had to play like cowards in the final.And many Indian fans worried this will happen.
We have a huge advantage of having a great mix of Cricket fans represented in the grounds here (yes I know why that may be the case).England do ICC tournaments the best. 1/2 should be held here.
Having an opening ceremony a few weeks into the tournament before India vs Pakistan instead of before the opening match definitely gave those vibesFelt like an Indian organised ODI invitational. Not a world event.
get em all out.We have a huge advantage of having a great mix of Cricket fans represented in the grounds here (yes I know why that may be the case).
It hugely boosts a world event.
Yep. That's why the group stage performance was always a facade for this team. Never really tested, incompetitive teams. Played Australia in the opener who took time to gear up. Had no answers in the final.Never mind SA, India are the real chokers.

yeah, mate. happens every game when the chasing team score the required amount of runs within the allotted overs.Is this the end of 50 over cricket?
Pretty much this. I was hoping we'd get revenge for that Ponting 141, but we lost to a Head 137. This hurts more, because that was arguably the greatest Australian team, and this was possibly the greatest Indian ODI side. Our greats in Kohli and Rohit turned up the whole tournament, even in the knockouts. Still not good enough.I started watching cricket in 2003 and watching us lose to Australia in that WC was heartbreaking to say the least.

He’ll probably get a stadium at this rateTake that Modi and your bunch of jingoistic fascists...
I wonder if Jay Shah will get it in the neck?
Evening Dad.yeah, mate. happens every game when the chasing team score the required amount of runs within the allotted overs.
No as I think the next two are booked in but it's almost guaranteed to dissapear after themIs this the end of 50 over cricket?
It pretty much points in that direction. Pakistan don't play this format for atleast a year. And they host an ICC event shortly after that.Is this the end of 50 over cricket?
Feck modi but cricket is pretty much all India has in terms of national unity at this point.Take that Modi and your bunch of jingoistic fascists...
I wonder if Jay Shah will get it in the neck?
I don't think we did a lot wrong today. Just outplayed. Surya was terrible and the decision to bowl Shami w new ball in hindsight may not have been the right callPretty much this.

Turns out that much like Ganguly fecking up the toss then, we effectively did the same today. Didn't do our homework.
Yep.Format has been shite, more knockout games would have helped things. Not a memorable tournament.
