ODI WC Final: Ind v Aust Nov 19, 2023 - AUSTRALIA 2023 CHAMPIONS

Viv is still the best ODI player I’ve seen, if he played now his record would be simply unmatched. Add in his handy bowling and his ridiculous fielding and he’s still hard to go past.

A bit of a loser club to be in. Not sure you want to be the king of the losers.

It’s like being the number 1 ticketed member for Parra.

A bit harsh, lol, not everyone can be part of the dominant team... some of the greatest players in history haven't won a World Cup - without thinking about their relative greatness as ODI players, Greg Chappell, Dennis Lillee, Richard Hadlee, Ian Botham, David Gower etc from the Windies period - and of course in Australia's dominant period, plenty more...

Brian Lara springs to mind as well.

You would be pretty unlucky to miss out on a world cup win if your a great ODI player for Australia in the past 25 years.

Every generation has tasted success since mid 90s.

Ambrose too

I will forever be afraid of facing that man. Not that I would have, more a Brett Lee on Piers Morgan situation.

Curtly fearsome as it gets, I hear some yelling Holding, whispering death.

Yet we are still chasing money for a pointless T20 series 5 days later

He'd be very high up there. Let's be honest, he has a claim to best white ball opener of all time. I'm not sure he takes it (and tbh I don't think any one player would) but his record is insane and so are the records he's set.

I'd have him in my best ODI side, probably alongside Jayasuriya if you're opening with two genuine bats.

For the players I’ve seen the top tier of openers would probably be Sehwag, Gilchrist, Sharma, Jayasuria, Gayle & Sachin.

Gun to my head to pick two I probably go with Jayasuria and Gilchrist, the latter nudges it to get a keeper in the side. Jayasuria if only for being one of the original fast scoring openers.

$6 million is a decent pay check, I just wonder how much of this filters down to the players once CA et al take thier cut

 

[TheParraboy]

Us eels fans would have quite a few days off over the years id imagine if that was implemented here...

None of it
Player's are earning over 6 million a year already

I can be Indian for a day.

Tigers fans would have 4 days a week at work for 6 months across winter.

I'll take a full cup of those sore loser tears.

Delicious.

Is Mohammed Kaif an alter ego of JJ?

 

[Eelectrica]

If only the game was played on paper.

India trying to claim the moral victory after all the pitch changes is hilarious. Besides England already claimed the moral champions trophy. Perhaps India can be runners up to the moral trophy winners as well.
