20 straight wins in a row in WC

[King]

Yup I'm speaking about the Aussies. They have posted 20 straight wins without losing a game. I think the last time they lost in a WC was against Pakistan in 1999 in one of those round robin games. Such consistency is pretty much unheard of in WC. Bigger the stage better the performance. I just hope this domination stops in the semis or finals and it if happens in the finals against NZ it will be much sweeter.

Re: 20 straight wins in a row in WC last time India won against Aussies in world cup was in '87 ie 20yrs ago.

Re: 20 straight wins in a row in WC 1992 was a close encounter between the Aussies and the Indians. It was a fantastic game and still is a classic world cup ODI.

Re: 20 straight wins in a row in WC yup 87 we lost once by 1 run.. 92 also by 1 run (stupid rain rule) 96 by 10 runs... 3 close games..and after that margin have gone up

Re: 20 straight wins in a row in WC i remember 92 wc because that was the time when i started understanding cricket. 92 game against aussies was ours for taking had it not rained. Even the first game against eng srinath and some bowler almost won it for us. Then SL game got washed out and that did it for us i think.

Yep, that game had EVERYTHING. Jadeja took a blinder of a coach, and Manjrekar's little cameo at the end was incredible. Srinath could have won it for India, but he "did a Gibbs" by celebrating too early in that final over.

Re: 20 straight wins in a row in WC looks like the ODI lottery hasn't hit the aussie opponents yet in the WC.

Re: 20 straight wins in a row in WC How come these guys don't suffer any "Fluke defeat". Jesus, we Indians, need to accept the fact that we got beaten by Bangladesh fair and square. Their was no fluke involved.

It was More's little comeo...two 4s of Tom Moody and than he tries again and gets bowled...Manjrekar was run out I believe upteenth time..

Re: 20 straight wins in a row in WC 20 straight wins and 25 out of 26 from 1999. The only loss is to Pakistan. Goes to show , that ODI is still no "Fluke " when it comes to might aussies.

Re: 20 straight wins in a row in WC ODI are no fluke for consistent teams. Only inconsistent teams make excuses for losses. It is true though that lesser teams find it hard to win in test matches simply because they need to show consistency in every session. A test cannot be lost in a session usually and to win a test a team needs to dominate at least 3/4th of a test match. Test wins are hard earned while ODI wins don't require you to be at the top of the game for more than just a day.

Re: 20 straight wins in a row in WC Gavasakr is the culprit.. he motivated these guys by his pre-mature obituary

Re: 20 straight wins in a row in WC 87 wasn't that the match where Kapil showd his sportmanship and Australia were awarded two runs for a boundary during the break? We went on to loose by one run of course :hic:
