That's why we choke during the knockouts. There's so much at stake for the captain and team. You can play with a lot more freedom where are little to no expectations. Just sample this pic to when Cummins won the world cup to what is happening today.

MEntioned in the match thread. There was hardly any crowd for SMei and final like you see in INdia. THey had no pressure. THey played freely.

If we make winning a habit, this kind of OTT reaction will die down. 17 years drought, 11 years since ICC trophy, continuous KO heartbreaks since 2014, these are the reasons so many have turned up. 

 

Aussies win trophies regularly, if they have a 10 years drought, even their fans will go wild when they finally break the jinx. 

There is nothing at stake for Aussies. No fan frenzy what so ever, irrespective of Aussies winning or losing. 

 

It's only in India/pak where cricket is a religion and players feel the preassure. I wonder, why india winning is an automatic choice considering it's always the two best teams that play the final. Other teams are there to not just compete but win as well. India did well.

 

Team India did not choke  under kohli/rohit since India also lost under dhoni 2014 t20 final. 2015 odi semis and 2016 t20 semis.

What can you do,  Dhoni was there to stop the team from winning again till 2016. He was the sole reason why India did not win either in 2014 and 2016.

Kohli could not graduate to full scale leader too since dhoni was part of the team till 2019 World Cup. Dhoni had zero contribution as player in any of the t20 finals nor ODI semis including 2019 ODI world cup. Ofcourse, 2011 ODI final contribution is etched in history.

lets face it,the 50 over game is in terminal decline.If India decides to stop playing it then it will go extinct.

There is a good chance 50 over ODI would be stopped. The format has exciting first 10 overs and last 10 overs. out of 100 overs, we have 40 overs of possible exciting play with boring play of 60 overs.  In the age of t20 and globalization of cricket through t20's, ODI may loose relevance.

Wankhede is our true cricketing home along with Eden.... Still pi**ed why would you host WC final in a dead venue like Motera..which has no sporting or cricketing history.

Extremely hideous looking structure aesthetic wise as well.

 

Absolutely true. 2011  ODI QF too was played in Ahmedabad which is traditionally slow for batting in the first innings where toss plays a crucial role of the outcome. In trying to create a glory moment for modi with Indias ODI World Cup win, india has let go a golden opportunity. Had it not been for political tinkering,  Final would have been/should have been in Mumbai where India would have played on a true wicket with no pitch doctoring.

Lol all for wining a T20 trophy that was played 3 times in 3 years? :rotfl:

Better than saching being carried on shoulders for " a no show" in final with lucky innings of 4 catch drops in semi final.

 

t20 is the present and future of cricket. In the fast paced life of social media , no one has time for ODI's. T20 is played every 2 years. 

 

2016 t20 to 2020 t20 had a gap of 4 years. Due to covid, 2020 t20 had to be rescheduled to 2021 t20 which is why three World Cups in last 3 years.

 

1999 World Cup was played, 3 years after 1996 ODI World Cup that does not make 1999 World Cup a ****

1999 still had a final after 3 years lol and next one was after 4 years. This one was 3rd T20 cup in 3 years lol.

 

Sachin was carried on his shoulder for what he did in the QF and the SF. You take out those innings and we wouldn't have a real world cup this century :winky:

QF,  yes. Semis, he was dropped 4 times by Pakistan. He did not do anything great in Semifinal.

But he still top scored. Sehwag and Raina were pretty important too with their clutch batting. Sehwag delivered a knockout punch to Gul and he was a non-factor throughout the game, and Raina was clutch as usual and lifting us from a 230ish total to a 260. We shouldn't have been in that predicament after the great start given by Sehwag but nobody showed up that day bar these 3. The way Sehwag started, a 320+ score looked to be on the cards before we imploded.

Amazing scenes after 125 killed in stampede :facepalm:

Obviously not the same but there were some reports of 4-5 people who died and 20 people who had to go to the hospital from this parade.
