Another world cup comes to an end. Except six matches all the matches were one sided. The domination coming from the bat. But if you see at the end, the real winners were bowlers! The team which bowled well (batting is expected thanks to the batting tracks) finally won the world cup. The whole Australian win can be summed up in two names which sound the same. Yes you got it, Mitchell Starc and Mitchell Jhonson. Pakistan had the bowlers who could swing but unfortunately their team doesn't work in unision. The rest of the teams showed bowling brilliance in spurts but not consistently. Tim Southee , Trent Boult performed well but did not perform on the most crucial day!
Mitchell Starc had come with a plan for Brendon and boom ! Executed to perfection! Captains can make thousand plans, it is the players who need to execute the plan. Starc rose to the occasion many times and saved Australia. Even in the match against NZ in knock out stage , it was Starc who gave Australia a glimmer of hope to win (Their batsmen had failed!) . Hats off to him. Congrats to team Australia , they have shown to the world that it is planning , execution which matters. Extreme passion for the game wont help unless you perform on the field with precision.
In NZ and SA match , that is what seemed to happen. SA seemed to be all over the place in the last ten overs. They missed all their golden chances , thanks to their fixation with the result. If they had just given merit to each moment of the game instead of thinking of the result , it would have been good. But one thing is for sure, there was not one person in the world who would not have cried seeing AB, Morkel cry. They deserved better :(.
In India and Australia match , it was totally one -sided. What shocked me was not that India lost. But with the way India went about the whole game. They seemed to have resigned to fate the moment the toss was won by Australia. They way they chased the target was very poor. Dhon1 was the only man left whom India could rely on. First the bowlers disappointed him and next the batsmen . But of course India should be given credit for performing well throughout the tournament , given that they had lost a test series, tri series in the same conditions. I only wish they had tried harder in terms of planning etc. Maybe they did and could not execute it. But Team India , you made us proud :)
All in all , the world cup was good. Till next time then . In the British Isles.
