Funny, if you believe the English media, the Indians have been doctoring the pitches for home advantage. Seen no evidence of that in either sf or final.

Has anybody actually been saying that? All I’ve seen is that India are a class above? 

[Corky]

I know we're going back to Leicester with this but the crowd need to raise the volume. It is too comfortable. We saw in the summer how easily rattled these Aussies get with a quarter of the crowd numbers.

Travis Head seems so underrated, but he's an absolutely superb player and great to watch

Seems an OK bloke too.

[Super_horns]

Some might say Travis just needs to use his head ..

[StanSP]

Smith can't be too mad at him either if he ends up winning the tournament... 

[Lionator]

Why do they always bully Smith with the barest of margins stuff?  

[Nalis]

Every time I watch cricket I'm so jealous of how brilliantly efficient the review system is.

[Nalis]

Are there any non Aussies going for Australia here? I'm guessing no.

 

Aussies sadly turning the screw.

[StanSP]

It'll take an almighty collapse from here for Aus to lose this. They've got complete control and there's too many wickets in the bank.

More in the semifinals where there were plenty of English media, Vaughn, Lloyd and lots of sports  journalists implying changing the pitch was cheating. That they were playing on turning wickets to gain unfair advantage.

If it wasnt against the Indian then I would have.

I'm guessing there may be a few neutrals, including myself.

Will be quite frustrating for the BCCI given they take pretty much all the money from international cricket to not hold any titles.

Had no idea channel 5 had the live coverage. Been avoiding it all day as got no wifi at home, in hope of watching highlights tonight ffs  

[StanSP]

Head for Man of the match no question. That catch in 1st innings was quality as good as this ton is.

I want them to win. The silencing of the crowd is a delight.

Did a brief job with the ball too.

Nah, I can't get there. The Aussie players and most of the fanbase are to a man insufferable.

Sorry mate, I’ve spent the last hour or so thinking my tv is broke as every time the ball has gone over the rope I’ve not been able to hear any sound so I’ve been trying to fix it. 

[StanSP]

I can't breathe the banter is too much

You have to give them some credit to win this, it's a tournament that's been pretty much designed for India to win and they came into the tournament in disarray.

My life doesn’t revolve around Foxestalk. And this is what I mean by Indian fans being just as bad as Aussies, bad winners and sore losers.
