Fuck them. It’s only ODI.
This’ll be forgotten by the end of the week but we’ll never forget 3-0 in the most important format in their own backyard.
I was thinking the same thing. It was a disappointment to lose, but hey the deck was loaded in their favour, and I wouldn't swap that trophy for either of these

The Henry injury and India's home ground advantage proved obstacles just too big to overcome in the end.
I go against the grain a bit and say that Mitchell and Phillips did exactly what we needed them to, or we were in danger of losing the game in the first 20 overs.
Totally agree

Amen to that.
I’ve always looked at test cricket as the ultimate compared to the other formats

I was more gutted about losing the ODI final in England. We was robbed that day
Considering the BCs at time woeful test history compared to usually being at least here or thereabouts in the shorter forms it is pretty surprising we haven't won more in the shorter formats.
We'll always be the inaugural test champions though and that is magic.

Yeah, India's ground advantage was a factor, but the ODI final against England hurt the most because outside of the crazy umpires decisions we actually won the match losing less wickets overall, but had it taken from us due to that bizarre boundary hit rule that has never been used for any other tournament. I don't think I'll ever get over that, that was our chance to win the thing and instead the ICC made a farce of it all.

Without dwelling too much on it were the teams even aware of this ridiculous rule ?
It is stupid because surely it's irrelevant to some extent how many boundaries are hit, more impressive to get there with less wickets lost ?
