A recap of past major LOI tournaments in Australia!

[zen]

Slowly but surely (and have to say a bit unexpectedly as I have followed tons of such events), the T20 world cup excitement is catching on ... Anyways, let's look at the past major multi-team events in Aus (and Aus-NZ where applicable):

 

 

1985 World Championship of Cricket (ODI)

 

• SF1: Ind v NZ, winner Ind
• SF2: Pak v WI, winner Pak
• F: Ind v Pak, winner Ind 

 

* The team chasing won all the knockout games. 

 

 

1992 ODI World Cup 

 

• SF1: NZ v Pak, winner Pak
• SF2: Eng v SA, winner Eng
• F: Eng v Pak, winner Pak 

 

* The team batting first won 2 out of 3 knockout games. Pak chase v NZ in SF1 was made possible by a brilliant knock by Inzamam. 

 

 

2015 ODI World Cup 

 

• SF1: NZ v SA, winner NZ
• SF2: Aus v Ind, winner Aus
• F: Aus v NZ, winner Aus 

 

* The team chasing won 2 out of 3 knockout games. Aus posted a mammoth total versus Ind, which couldn't compete. 

 

 

Notes:

 

• NZ made it to all the knockouts 
• Ind, Pak, & SA made it to 2 knockouts 
• 3 different winners 
• Aus started off badly in the first event of each competition that it hosted, while winning the 2nd event (2nd ODI WC hosted in 2015)

 

 

Key Thoughts/Questions

 

• Opportunity for NZ to enter its 4th knockout in a row in Aus (and Aus-NZ where applicable) 
• Will the pattern of Aus doing badly in the first event it hosts continue? (This is the first T20 world cup in Aus)
• Chance for a first time winner in Oceania (Ind, Pak, & Aus have already won on this continent)

1992- Inzamam

1985- Kris Srikkanth and Shastri

2015- Steve Smith

 

except for 85 shows that classy all format batsman are needed in clutch situations and not hacks. Also 2015 qf m.o.m was Rohit.

 

good takeaway :)

Would be interesting to know what takeaways  were you looking for on a “recap” thread?

This thread is not in BBL. This is on major world tournaments in Aus-NZ!

 

Let’s stick to the topic which could include talking about your favorite moments, performances, stat, patterns, etc!
