Full credit to the Australians. No doubt that they are a bunch of unbelievably talented and super fit individuals. But what continues to amaze me is their mental strength and big match temperament. And it looks like they are putting together a great team for the next world cup. Earlier, I had argued that the Australian teams dominance was probably coming to an end with a spate of high profile retirements but the emergence of men such as Tait, Bracken and Clarke gives the Australian team every chance to dominate the next world cup as well.
They are so far ahead of the rest that it cricket has become a wee bit boring. The unpredictability factor is totally missing when the Australians play. So much so that even the smallest hiccup is big news. The rest of the world has a lot of catching up to do.
A word on Adam Gilchrist:
What a champion cricketer. Thanks to him the match was over as early as the 25th over of the Australian innings. The best cricketer in the last 25 years in terms of value to the team. Probably one of the top 3 of all time.
