Why do you keep bringing up t20? I dont even know what you're on about? Which game are you referring to? I'm referring to world cup only?
They bbattered ri lanka which even pakistani batters battered. If pakistan with their brittle lineup could chase 346, sa scoring 400+ against that attack is no biggie.
2023 Australia isn't strong. Idkw you keep forwarding this mantra same qith 2023 sa, Idkw you think these teams are strong


all to push a weird narrative for bumrah. 2023 Australia is literally Travis head + cummins + Hazelwood or bust with a little support from zampa. The one exception is Maxwell who's needed for Afghanistan, and Travis head didn't even play that game, smith as of 2023 and onwards, Marcus stoinis in odi and starc are useless?
Australia won the world cup same reason India managed to win 2024, aka they happened to click at the right time in crucial stages despite having a brittle batting line up, 2023 Australia was the worst aussie team to ever play a final compared to their past self.
Nedtherlands beat them, And beating 2023 England isn't a biggie considering every team besides Jokster pakistan beat em. Bamgaldesh is once again and expected win. new Zealand lost all their big guns via injury against sa. The reason pakistan managed to beat them is because sodhi is a joke and fakhar feasted on him.
Their win vs Afghanistan wasn't convincing either.
Please stop with this narrative.
I can understand if someone was to claim that 2015 Australia is just as good as classic Australia and people are driving nostalgia bias, or that 2023 india's batting is just as good if not better then classic Indian batting.
But arguing that 2023 Australia is a powerful team and that 2023 SA is the strongest team in history is one of the worst claims I've ever seen. The gulf and gap is way way too high between the past and present. Same qith sri lanka, arguing their past self vs current self is hilarious
With the exception of Afghanistan in the modern era, Bangladesh during the 2011, 2016 and current 2024 era, England from 2016-2019, 2023 India every other side in this modern era is far weaker then their past selves.
2015 Australia is debatable although I think they'd lose a series to classic Australia in a tough 3-2 encounter.
