I am happy now that SL won the '96 WC. Don't think they will win one anytime soon. They deserved a WC trophy with so many legendary players. 

More so because of who they beat in the final. You beat McWarne in a WC final, you deserve to be talked about for eternity. 

 

Also Aussies with 7 WCs would have been a mockery of the sport, total 13 WCs till date.

so many SL legends in one room. Vass looks like a different man - but in a good way

 

This guy looks most different

Yeah man. After the '23 WC I was more sad due to Aus winning their 6th title than us losing a WC final.

Don't think we can overturn 2-6 deficit in our lifetimes, this format may even die before that. 3-5 and still there was a chance that in 20-30 years we could have become the most successful WC team.

 

6 WCs for one team is sad man. Also the psychological burden of losing every ICC final against them.

Ironically we have done well in the semis against them.
