ICC World Cup 2023: Australia (241/4) defeat India (240 all out) by 6 wickets to win the final of ICC World Cup 2023

Time to rename Modi stadium to someone worthy.

Here comes another guy who is probably happy with this defeat. Why is it that you guys always shows up when India loses and never seen when we win? Then when we call deshdrohis people gets hurt.
 
What I rate about Ravi Shahstri is he always shows the same energy and keeps it professional whether or not India are winning or losing.

Something Sunil Gavasakar and Sanjray Manjrekar can learn from him.
 
Whats more devastating for Indians is that this was their best chance to win it with likes legends like Kohli and Sharma. And these guys might not be around next time wc happens. It might take india another 10 years to field a team like this in wc
What legends. Legend in Travis Head. Not kohli.

Sharma did well but still not enough.
 
I live in UK but I am an Indian that supports ICT. Just like there are many Pakistani's in this forum who lives in England but still supports Pakistan. Looks like this concept is bit alien to you. Your happiness is quiet visible today :srini
Happiness? Maturity and taking sport as a sport is a concept which will always remain alien to an alien like you. :inti
 
This was India's WC to loose and they have bolted on the big day (still 11 to get). But, Aussies are worthy champs - lost two at the start and then beat both teams in KOs.

Considering the age of Indian stalwarts, and the WC being at home of tailor made wickets, don't think they'll get a better chance than this. India will always remain a force in ODI and a certain entity in SF, but next WC Kohli, Sharma, Bumrah, Shami, Siraj, Jadeja and probably KL won't be in SAF - don't see them winning in 2027 or even 2031, this team had at least 4 players certain to make Indian all time ODI XI.
 
India need to start the rebuild after this WC.

They aren't winning anything with this lot. If they can't win at home with tailored pitches how are they going to win outside India.
 
I called Kohli out on his selfish knocks a while ago, it was only a matter of time before his cost his team.

How many times did he kill his team's momentum for personal milestones?
Why should it be up to lesser cricketers to take risks? He has scored soft runs throughout this World Cup. No impact whatsoever. India wouldn't be here without Rohit if we deep it.

He is the serial loser.
Him and Rahul. 68 of 109 balls lmao. In this modern era. What is wrong with these players.
 
I think Aus might run out of bowls before they get these remaining runs
 
Goat odi batsman my foot. Virat is legions below the true goats. Travis Head is a tier above him.
 
You can clearly see Australia loving every single second of it they are laughing 🤣
 
Ponting making the point that when India decided to give Shami the new ball instead of Siraj, he knew they had panicked. Siraj is at his best with the new ball, he is not even half the baller when he has to bowl with an older ball.

Missed opportunity definitely.

I don't think they will get a similar chance before 2031 WC (co-host for 2031 WC along with Bangladesh).

I have a feeling India may not win any trophy till at least 2031.
 
Can we make fun of how Siraj is ranked number 1 now? Absolutely nothing bowler. People on this forum tried to say he was better than Shaheen Shah. He is the biggest of minnow bashers - a big man when it comes to bowling out Sri Lanka but failure when it matters.

Far far more embarassing than Babar’s #1 ODI Batting ranking is Siraj’s #1 bowling ranking.
Shiraj always bowled with new ball. But today he got the old and Shamim got the new. He is not accustomed.
 
India need not to be disheartened it’s a game and it takes two to play and sometimes someone else is just better on the day. Had a great tournament. It will hurt no doubt but dont let it get too deep, go again next CT.

Indian fans deny it but we all saw it.

What a selfish player he is. Even today he killed his teams momentum. Went from timing it well to looking to get a 50. Got out straight after it too.
 
Oof RRR just ticked over to 1.15.... it's getting tough

Yeah this has been true the entire tournament. But we were not allowed to call it out because they were still managing to win. He played for personal accomplishments. This 100 by Travis Head is worth more than any of Kohli’s 100s as Travis Head actually managed to win a World Cup with his innings.
 
To my surprise, there was absolutely no impact from Indian bowling today. Aussies lost three wickets - first two were two of the worst balls in this innings and Aussies chose to throw bat at those, third one .... an elite ICC umpire can better explain how he could give that LBW, then how a player with 15 years experience didn't bother to review!!!!

240 wasn't match winning, but AFGs made 249 really tight for SAF and I believe this is a much drier, slower wicket - expected better contest.

Yeah he gets swing up front, I’ll give credit for that. But he doesn’t have the overall skills to bowl with an older ball.

Played for the team. Not his stat sheet.
 
So close yet so far. I actually feel sad for them. No idea why! Am not even Indian.

Big mistake not playing Ashwin over Siraj.


Ashwin would have strengthen their batting and Siraj has been getting smashed by everyone.

No one has the right to put kohli above Travis Head. Only some delusional idiot would.

Wtc winner and 2023 winner. Also t29 winner ? Not sure.

Class above kohli.

True goats are these type of players.

Kohli is like a tier below. Or maybe 2. Around sangakarra level.
 
So congratulations Australia. Well deserved winners.

For me this is one of the better world cups in recent years. The four best teams reached the quarter finals and the two best ones played the final. No NRR nonsense allowing weak teams into where they don't belong, and no tie or fluke results based on boundary count like the last world cup. A good , well deserved victory based purely on performance, just as it should be.

Congratulations to India too. They have played like champions, and don't need to feel any less.

I dislike the BJP and I dislike the BCCI, so there's positives from today.

Today is a bad day. Just bad day. For all the Indians. Should not conclude on basis of just 1 match.

I can't recall an Aussie playing for his stats over his team's requirements. It's just a desi problem.
 
Every Malayalee I have met hates KLRahul who they blame for taking Sanju Samsons spot, this final performance by KL will give them ammunition
KL didn't take Sanju position.. it's SKY even though he's continuously failed in odi he keeps place in the team..
 
Australia are ruthless in nature

They chucked out Aaron Finch when they knew he was finished as a cricketer, no room for sentiments despite winning T20 world cup. They replaced him with Travis Head.

Elite mentality.

Yeah that Travis Head WTC innings was unbelievable. 163 off 174 - basically sealed the Test match the first day. Travis Head will have won more for his team this year than Kohli did in his entire career.

Kohli is good for bilateral series. Can’t believe anyone could ever compare him to the great Vivian Richards.

India didn't play like champions today. They should have made more of a fight of it, but they have looked well beaten for the last hour or so.
 
Smith wasn't even out lol.

This has been domination.

Forget avenging 2003, you have another thrashing to avenge now.
Yea if he dint get out lol, actually he has been poor, probably won't make much difference. But yea this is a thrashing. Bashing.

Indeed.

I remember they dropped Steve Waugh from ODI after just 1 bad series (tri-series involving SA, AUS, and NZ).

This ruthlessness is missing from Asian cricket boards.
 
6 wicket win with lots of overs to spare is a pretty solid thrashing boys



Na ishq mein na pyaar mein
Jo maza India ki haar mein
