Can this India limited overs side replicate the Aussies of the 2000s' dominance of LOI cricket?

[Rishta Aunty]

No, but that's only because that Australian side is the GOAT ODI side, and one of the GOAT sides in world sport ever. I see India being dominant but not reaching those heights.

 

[Usman Chadda]

This is a laughable thread

 

[Dingolfy]

The funny thing is if aus field their best 11 with smith and warner then even this aussie yeam would beat india easily

We beat Aussies with Smith and Warner 4-1 last time they toured us.

Only one loss over last 4 multi tournament.

Total domination with different teams unlike Aussies who played the same team over and over.

 

[jnaveen1980]

India was in full experimental mode. THey opened with Dube. went with 1.5 seamer. THey randomly brought on Tilak varma to bowl. Randomly shuffled batting order. No Pandya either in the final. Yet they breezed through to final and won it.

This LOI Indian team is excellent and everything that I’ve always hoped for.

Btw, 2018 year was the creation of this thread and Indian team at that time was a joke and most Pathetic, coward, selfish, boring Indian team I ever saw. unfortunately only I saw that, rest of the Indian fans were blind and enabled fraudery cause they were happy seeing their fav superstars score hundreds, double hundreds rather than creating winning Team culture. And I am well aware how dominant they were in bilaterals.

There’s a miles of difference between 2018 and 2025 Indian team. But it will still be hard for this team to dominate like 2000s Australia in ICC tournaments. Let’s hope for the best.

If India upgrades their fielding they will do that. It is much harder to dominate white ball in this era than in 2000s when teams had a structured approach. Fielding is one area we are way way behind compared to 2000 Aussies. Second of all Australia always had depth. Even tailenders could contribute. They won a few matches because of tailender batting. India is heading in that direction. Batting depth.

I still remember threads in 2018 like “India’s top 3 in ODIs being greatest of all time”. When the reality was completely opposite. They won us ZILCH and were worst and most harmful top 3 for India since 90s. Jason roy, Bairstow won way more matches for their team.

Yeah I think fielding might be the biggest differentiator between this Indian side and 2000s Australia.

To summarise in few words.

While India celebrated personal milestones like 100s, 200s. England celebrated scoreboards — 400 or 500 runs in 50 overs, that’s the mindset.
