yes yes, he was there, credit to him.
He also shook hands with all the Aussie champions. Good sport.
That was the bare minimum the guy should have done.

The end was like a funeral.
The lack of all rounders hurt India in the finals. Once Rohit and Kohli are gone for less than 150 score, it was always an uphill task to put a decent score on the board. 240 is too low on that pitch. It was a 300 pitch and the bowlers did not have enough to defend.You had all the bases and pitches covered but fell to pieces under pressure.
I think that their obvious trolling aside (hey we do the same to them) we should consider seriously what Pakistani fans are saying and use it to improve our perspective.
I believe that
1. We are still an excellent team, and amongst the very very elite teams.
2. We didn’t choke - choke means you consistently lose a game when you’re winning it all along, or you consistently lose a close contest. We were in fact outclassed right from the outset. We never had a chance today.
3. Hence we’re not as good as we thought we were. Champion teams find a way to win regardless. We are not a champion team - yet.
4. This was our best chance to win (home conditions) and we mucked it up. It’s going to get tougher.
5. However we have an excellent process in place and we’re going to get better and better.
That’s about it. Salute to the Aussies.
I am surprised that with all their resources, power and home advantage, they got beat by decent Aus team. Why did Ind Cho
He was there for the camera. Place a camera in the Amazon forest, invite him and you will find him waving his hand there too.yes yes, he was there, credit to him.

To be fair we won 2 test series in Australia,IPL.![]()
Pakistan isn't obsessed with cricket like india. U have all the resources but still underachieved. U must be feeling like we felt in 1999. Hard luck ur team was by far the best in this tournamentIts amusing that Pakistan hasn't been to the WC final in 23 years.
Have been to one semis in 23 year and pakistanis have the gall to mock India.
So what, man? People are allowed to watch from outside and judge. India has never been in the FIFA World Cup finals yet Indian football fans will judge teams who have.Its amusing that Pakistan hasn't been to the WC final in 23 years.

What are you talking about? Travis Head, Warner on current form and caliber ar at par. In fact, I believe Travis Head is the best ODI batter in the world right now.Correct.
But Australia are very good tactically.
They beat us tactically.
Ability wise they didn't have a ODI Batsman of the calibre of Rohit or Kohli.
But they devised a way to counter them.
Look at the India vs Australia match in Chennai. Australia batted first. Lost. Even though they took 3 Indian wickets cheaply.
Similar pitch and Australia this time batted second.
It's much higher than any Indian player in HISTORYWarner, Smith, Starc, Cummins, have won multiple icc titles . Therefore for me their status in the game is as good as any Indian player, if not better
Actually you are right. India did choke. They did not play like the time they have been right through the tournament. The clarity of batting and target in mind was missing. They just were hoping for the best instead of going for a winning target.Stop dissociating Indian folks. You guys just choked hardest when it mattered most![]()
Pakistan’s position is getting humiliated in the World Cup and crashing out in the group stage and then laughing at India because they lost a final.I would rather be in Australia's position, ACTUALLY WINNING SOMETHING.
Or atleast wining an ICC tournament during the last 10 years, which pakistan has done.
current holders of ICC trophiesPakistan’s position is getting humiliated in the World Cup and crashing out in the group stage and then laughing at India because they lost a final.
West Indies have won three trophies since 2000 but no one would look at this period and consider West Indies as one of the most successful teams.Hey, we won an ICC tournament in 2017..
Ok, we are PNG. Even than you couldnt beat us in 2017 or havent been able able to beat anyone in the last 10 years to get an ICC trophy.
ok bro, you can swap series win.West Indies have won three trophies since 2000 but no one would look at this period and consider West Indies as one of the most successful teams.
Trophies aren’t the only measure of success. Pakistan cannot even dream of the level of cricket that India have played over the years.
I would happily swap Pakistan and India’s last 10 years across formats in spite of Pakistan’s CT win.
Indians did the same in the last T20 WC, just saying.Pakistan’s position is getting humiliated in the World Cup and crashing out in the group stage and then laughing at India because they lost a final.
Indians can do it because their team is miles better than ours. It is quite stupid to laugh at a team that is vastly superior than you.Indians did the same in the last T20 WC, just saying.![]()
And the worst side of the last 10 years has an ICC trophy, while the top side and richest board has not won a single ICC trophy in last 10 yearsIn spite of winning the CT in 2017, Pakistan is one of the worst ODI teams of the last 10 years. It sums up the value of that tournament - a tournament ICC wants to scrap.
ICC trophies? You haven’t made an ODI World Cup final since 1999. Please sit down.ok bro, you can swap series win.
We will enjoy ICC trophies. When India finally holds on to a title let us know.
Which shows that winning ICC trophies isn’t everything and the only barometer of success.And the worst side of the last 10 years has an ICC trophy, while the top side and richest board has not won a single ICC trophy in last 10 years![]()
And yet we have an ICC Title with us currently.ICC trophies? You haven’t made an ODI World Cup final since 1999. Please sit down.
First you yourself said 10 years, now you wana go back to the millennium.Which shows that winning ICC trophies isn’t everything and the only barometer of success.
Teams with most ICC trophies in this millennium:
1. Australia
2. India
3. West Indies
West Indies has the third most trophies in the last 23 years but no one including you who is doing trophy trophy like a kid would put them amongst the top 3 cricket teams of this millennium.
The ICC Champion’s Trophy also only admits the top 8 sides. Less opportunity for Kohli and the rest of the team to stat pad runs in the group stage.And the worst side of the last 10 years has an ICC trophy, while the top side and richest board has not won a single ICC trophy in last 10 years![]()
From "My Nation" to "You"ICC trophies? You haven’t made an ODI World Cup final since 1999. Please sit down.
I am unfortunately but he was doing you and me which is why I said you.What do you mean by "You"? You're Pakistani as well.
Well that is an assumption, as you said, HAD india won.Had Indian won the final, we would cry that it was fixed or rigged or the pitch was doctored to suit India. Toss technology, DRS technology, pitch change technology.
Now that India lost, we are crying about how they choked etc.
Whether India wins or loses, there is one constant - our tears.

How can you come at Pakistani fans if you’re a fan of English cricket?ICC trophies? You haven’t made an ODI World Cup final since 1999. Please sit down.
Pakistan is an absolute nonsense cricket nation. The epitome of mediocrity.
I see no tears on our side today, only celebrations.Had Indian won the final, we would cry that it was fixed or rigged or the pitch was doctored to suit India. Toss technology, DRS technology, pitch change technology.

You said before the World Cup that Gill is the best batter in the world. But he didn’t win India a single match and played a nothing shot today.West Indies have won three trophies since 2000 but no one would look at this period and consider West Indies as one of the most successful teams.

Good. Keep celebrating Australia’s success because your own rubbish team doesn’t give you any reason to celebrate.I see no tears on our side today, only celebrations.
Gill is better than Babar and few years down the line, Gill vs Babar would be as idiotic as Kohli vs Babar.You said before the World Cup that Gill is the best batter in the world. But he didn’t win India a single match and played a nothing shot today.
You jumped on the hype brigade and it calls into question your judgement here.
I told you on the thread that Travis Head is the next super star because he’s already proven himself in every format. But it seems that you care more about national origin rather than proven performers.
The thread I am referring to was about who will be the best batter in the world cup.Gill is better than Babar and few years down the line, Gill vs Babar would be as idiotic as Kohli vs Babar.
Never compare Pakistani batsmen with their Indian counterparts. There will never any comparison.
Not sure what Travis Head has to do with this. Yes I understand he is Pakistan’s national hero today and will remain so for a few months but he is a mature 29 year old batsman who is in the peak of his career.
Gill is an upcoming batsman with massive potential and the comparison with Shafique was a joke because Shafique is not worthy of lacing his boots.
I have never compared Babar with Kohli. There is no comparison with Kohli. After this performance, Gill should not be compared to anyone. A pathetic showing in home conditions. Forget Babar, even Abdullah looked more assured than Gill. Sorry but I am not buying this hype until I see substance. And sorry a 50 against Australia in a test match doesn’t count.Gill is better than Babar and few years down the line, Gill vs Babar would be as idiotic as Kohli vs Babar.

You fluked to a WC in home conditions and the world saw how good the team was the second they left home. When it comes to T20, I literally could not care less about the format. We were the runner ups in that tournament and no one really cared that much - the captain who led us to the finals of that WC was even fired before the next T20 WC. English cricket hasn’t had much to look forward to in the Test format or even the ODI format so I understand the emphasis on T20 results.England have reached heights in the last few years that Pakistan cannot even dream of.
Again - please stop taking potshots at those who are much better than you. It is a very dumb thing to do.
You should have won it based on the way you were playing the tournament, every batter and every bowler was in pure form, almost half a dozen in form of their life.Yes we haven’t won a finals in a while, it’s worrying. And this was our best chance.
We have a fantastic team, I believe that. But we didn’t win, and that’s what matters.
But I don’t think it’s a choke. A choke is when you should win but dont. We on the other hand were beaten by the better team.
More an indicator that we need to improve, not a choke.
T20s will always have less importance/weightage than ODIs and tests for obvious reasons. The emphasis should be on the Captain getting fired from that format he lead his team into the final and semis not whether the dude cares or not.Yes England should return the T20 World Cup because you don’t care about it.
Good. Keep celebrating Australia’s success because your own rubbish team doesn’t give you any reason to celebrate.
2017 champions trophyYou don't even make the finals.
Last time you did was in 1999 and got bowled out for 132.
That's mauling.
Kohli statpads pretty easily against Pakistan every time though. Scored a century in the semis, 50 in the final and won mott.The ICC Champion’s Trophy also only admits the top 8 sides. Less opportunity for Kohli and the rest of the team to stat pad runs in the group stage.
Shubhman is Bradman and Prithvi is Tendulkar according to our bhaiYou said before the World Cup that Gill is the best batter in the world. But he didn’t win India a single match and played a nothing shot today.

True, Pakistan hasn’t been that good or consistently that good the last 10+ years so plenty of players have scored against us. That’s what makes it even more shocking that he managed to fail so badly when it mattered most - in the CT Final. Threw his wicket away twice in the span of two balls.Kohli statpads pretty easily against Pakistan every time though. Scored a century in the semis, 50 in the final and won mott.
He scored a century against Pakistan in a wc didn't he and let's not forget his epic knocks of 82&183.True, Pakistan hasn’t been that good or consistently that good the last 10+ years so plenty of players have scored against us.

His T20 record is undeniable. He’s the T20 GOAT and the 82 was legendary, just don’t think he’s as good at ODIs as the highest tier like Sachin and Vivian Richards.He scored a century against Pakistan in a wc didn't he and let's not forget his epic knocks of 82&183.
He failed in the ct final but had a great wc this time around
Fair enough, I think is a top 3 odi batsmen but you have to count for the difference in eras. But those who call kohli a choker seem to forget the fact that the great viv richards himself in 2 finals and in one of those he failed to chase 183 against a mediocre Indian team with a trundler armyHis T20 record is undeniable.

Your team does?Good. Keep celebrating Australia’s success because your own rubbish team doesn’t give you any reason to celebrate.
That's sad but I understand. Can't choke when you don't reach the knockout stages. Getting humilated by Afghanistan and reaching same out of world cups as kenya in the 21st century must fill your heart with pride, because that doesn't count as choking. Let's how much love you have for Australia after the inevitable whitewashWe aren't crying about this monumental choke, why would we lol? We are gloating with happiness.

Are you now claiming that Trophy for Pakistan? You do now who the captain was and who bowled Pakistan to victory? Two guys that you have openly disowned hereAnd the worst side of the last 10 years has an ICC trophy, while the top side and richest board has not won a single ICC trophy in last 10 years![]()

Pakistan’s position is getting humiliated in the World Cup and crashing out in the group stage and then laughing at India because they lost a final.
But they lost. So all these Personal milestones mean jack when you have everything you want including pitch switching and you get humiliated in front of your own fans.Gill is better than Babar and few years down the line, Gill vs Babar would be as idiotic as Kohli vs Babar.

This is absurd logic and makes no senseIndians can do it because their team is miles better than ours. It is quite stupid to laugh at a team that is vastly superior than you.

You are back after Babar Azam vs Virat in WC thread.strated it and was not seen after Virat scoring runs . Came back after India lost finalsThey are a team of chokers. Really not that complicated. 2015, 2017, 2019 and now 2023. Not to mention the T20 cups.
ZERO ICC trophies in the last decade.
Don't worry bilaterals are here too.I thought you guys dont have rivalry with Pakistan but you are mentioning every second post.
Even neutrals worldwide are laughing at India today.
Just relax and take it. IPL starts soon.
What a player Head is.Indian cricket team - always the bridesmaid, never the bride.
Still grinning from ear to ear this morning after our boy Head's heroics.![]()
Keep parading kohli as goat lol. They always do praise stat padders. Head is the real mvp. Not guys like kohli Rahul sky etc.It is so easy to rile up indian fans.
Kohli cemented his status as an ATG by 2016.Yeah.
India played quite poorly in the final.
Australia are World Champions deservedly so.
They find ways to win tournaments.
One good thing that has happened by India losing is that the mood in Pakistan has improved.
Rest is the usual trolls who were hiding and waiting for India to lose before they could troll so we have those types on both sides of the border.
Think Kohli has a good tournament though and cemented his place as ATG and that made my tournament. : )
What rigging was done in WC 2023? Care to explain?I feel more sorry for the haters of Pakistan who once again were priming themselves with a litany of posts anointing India for sainthood while condemning Pakistan (Just go read the commentary thread of the WC final and the usual suspects dragging Pakistan into the WC final for no reason).
The same sorry lot have zero say on India getting caught rigging pitches - but alas, India are so good they do not need to rig pitches!
India are not winning an ODI WC for at least 10 years, so I guess the hate towards Pakistan will have to wait until the next decade!![]()
