That was perfect. How’s that feel Virat? It’s a weird feeling to like the Aussies. Used to hate Travis Head, now think I’d like to have a beer with him. Even Warner! Reality is no one cares if Aus win another one, but to deprive the Indians at home when they were trying to fix everything their way was beautiful.

As I said earlier in the thread, I had no expectations coming into this game, so I'm not about to turn into a gloating Aussie.
However, I am pleased to make a single exception in this case:

I genuinely thought I hated Indian cricket more than anything eise in sports.
And then I watched Australia team celebrating winning.
Turns out there’s another team above India.
Four more years.

Surely the BCCI must be asking how much money they need to spend to buy a trophy? It has been a long drought on the short-form stage.
Alright,alright, you can stop going on about it now. Sheesh.
Unbelievable arrogance

Well congrats Australia, in the end a comfortable victory, contained the Indian batsmen and Head stood up with the match winning innings when it mattered.
Remarkably they managed to silence the crowd with their bowling which no-one saw coming.
Cough cough

Yeah have to give credit to the Australian team (even if begrudgingly
) . That Indian team was particularly strong, high on confidence and at home. If any team was to beat them they would have had to put in a complete performance and that fielding effort put them under pressure, which haven't been in for a while.Well done Australia

50% winning record at CWC I'm hoping @Virgil logs on to take you down a peg or two….
But yeah, brilliant big match temperament to take the game which counted. I thought India would be pretty unstoppable to be honest.
