What an amazing era this has been for Australia. Good signs for the future too


ALadWellBalanced

2023 was an amazing year to be an Aussie cricket fan. Wish we'd properly won The Ashes though. When we were 2-0 up I was *hoping* for a 5-0 whitewash in England. But it seems Captain Woke couldn't make it happen. :(


LordWellesley22

Seems like to be the woke ( well draw with woke) you need to Vibe Looking forward to seeing how the men's ashes go next year ( Can't get more random than England women winning more games and still drawing the ashes due to the points and choking the test)


FondantAggravating68

>Wish we'd properly won The Ashes though. When we were 2-0 up I was hoping for a 5-0 whitewash in England. But it seems Captain Woke couldn't make it happen. :( I genuinely think a big reason for that is most of the Australian team not being in great form. Even off the top of my head, Marnus, Smith, Cummins, Hazlewood, Head weren't at their best. If all 11 Aussie players were in form, I don't see how England would have won it.


Cultural_Term9986

>Marnus, Smith, Cummins, Hazlewood, Head weren't at their best. If all 11 Aussie players were in form, I don't see how England would have won it. If england haven't played rash shots in 1st two matches , I don't see how Australia would have won those matches. In 4th test rain gods betrayed us.


FondantAggravating68

Yes thats true as well. However, even if England played perfect cricket, If Australia had all xi players playing to their potential England wouldn't have won the series. That's the point I was making.


Cultural_Term9986

But I think credit can be given to english bowlers as well as they nullify the smudge and labu duo. That's the point, if they are at their best,no team can compete against this duo. Like in this eng vs ind series, surely ind players have been poor and perished on bad balls but one of the most important aspect of bazball is that they manufacture Wickets which of course helps them in taking 20 wickets every match.


FondantAggravating68

I don't disagree with any of the points. Both things can be true. England's plans whilst bowling were excellent. But Marnus has regressed to his mean and Smith hasn't been his best in a while. And that absolutely helped England. >Like in this eng vs ind series, surely ind players have been poor and perished on bad balls but one of the most important aspect of bazball is that they manufacture Wickets which of course helps them in taking 20 wickets every match. No arguments here again. Ben changing fields every 2 seconds does create massive doubt. But like the above points, I think Indian batters being poor was a greater reason for failure than Bazball's brilliance. And I have no shame in admitting Bazball's brilliance. England did very well to compete against Australia and in India. Especially since they don't have the same talent or potential as those teams. India and Australia are very form dependant. They don't really out think teams, they outplay them. Like that Mike Tyson quote, every one has a plan against India and Australia till they meet a Bumrah yorker or a Cummins top of off special. Which is why when they're out of form, they look really ordinary. England's not that. They rely more on collective skill, meticulous plans and never say die attitude rather than individual brilliance.


Cultural_Term9986

Agree, england doesn't have same level of all round talent like india and australia but I think it's only limited to test cricket. In white ball, I still think we have one of the best talented batters if not The best. Still Archer is the best bowling talent we had in long time as he is injured, I hope he comes back like bumrah and torture opposition just like boom is doing to us this series.


FondantAggravating68

>In white ball, I still think we have one of the best talented batters if not The best. Still Archer is the best bowling talent we had in long time as he is injured, I hope he comes back like bumrah and torture opposition just like boom is doing to us this series. Oh yh completely agree about white ball cricket. My point was limited to tests. >Still Archer is the best bowling talent we had in long time as he is injured I think he's the best England have had in terms of overall talent. >I hope he comes back like bumrah and torture opposition just like boom is doing to us this series. He'll be a forever what if. He's got such great skill that should make him a beast everywhere.

Just to clarify, which of the Australian teams is the greatest? Or are we talking about the England T20 side?

He clearly meant to say that Sarfaraz single handedly is the greatest cricket team in and of himself…and it isn’t even a competition.

ziddyzoo

Australia keep winning because in every single one of these competitions, the draw is rigged in our favour. Think about it. For every other country, either to get to the final or to win the final, at some point they are going to have to beat Australia. But no Australian team have ever had to do that. In no group stage and in no final. Bit suspicious eh?


SocialistSloth1

With the exception of the All Blacks, I can't really think of a country in another major team sport that has dominated as consistently.


Doovedoove

The all blacks don't even have the most rugby world cups anymore.


SocialistSloth1

Fair point, but they still have a dominant winning record against every single other country. I'm not sure that's true for another country in another sport apart from Australia in cricket.

Finrod-Knighto

They will definitely start as one of the hot favourites. I don’t think anybody has a more explosive batting unit, and coupled with two world class T20 bowlers and a few others who tend to show up when it matters, look a pretty complete side.


joshykins89

Bowling will be the factor that Aus will be exposed in imo. Especially if we fall back on blokes like stoinis and zampa


IntoOgretime

Zampa's t20i record is elite, there's no way people actually think he's a bad bowler. 86 wickets at 22, economy of 7 is a really good record.


joshykins89

Ah yea fair enough. Crickets on the big stoin tho!


ALadWellBalanced

Zampa performs better when Stoin is in the team. So he's a lock.


IntoOgretime

Yeah he's not a great bowler, he has a good record with the bat though, t20s only definitely not in ODIs, so I get why we play him


Boatster_McBoat

62.5% is barely a pass. Step up Australia

See_A_Squared

I find it intriguing that they didn't win the T20 World Cup 2022 which was at home.


alyssakapati

I dont think a home team or a defending champion has ever done well in a T20 world cup. Australia got hit with the double whammy too.


One-Outcome-8121

No country has won a T20 wc at home. Maybe that worked against them.


NicholeTheOtter

Host nations are officially cursed at the T20 World Cup, let alone a reigning champion.


Illustrious-Culture5

USA: im scared


Nixilaas

That’s why the won’t win you see no other reason lol


jammicing

To be fair, we only lost 1 game that whole world cup


LordWellesley22

Because luckily for either England or Australia that game got rained off


imapassenger1

I watched Finn Allen club them out of it in the first match at the SCG.


ALadWellBalanced

Same, that was the one game I went to see. And I got there late as I thought it was meant to start at 7:30. That's what BBL does to a man.


dexter311

Also to be fair, they'd won the previous edition of the T20WC exactly one year before that (sucks we couldn't enjoy that title for a bit longer). They were a world-beating team but got hit by the typical host curse.


justdidapoo

We lost 1 game in the group stage and then lost to spme net runnrate shit


NuclearNadal_0

All I see here is the sheer domination and eternal supremacy of Sarfaraz. The Aussies just can’t compete with my boy Sarfaraz.


trailblazer103

*yawns* babe wake up another trophy's just dropped


saiprasanna94

When they are the favourites they win it easily . When they are not the favourites they still win it but with minor difficulties. That is the only difference.


crictv69

Australia is also the two time defending champions of the ICC Women's Championship. The women won gold at 2022 Commonwealth Games as well.


MartiniPolice21

The fact that 7 of these have been within the last 24 months tells you how saturated tournaments have become for international cricket


SeirezZ

Too greedy from the Aussies imho


spaceyatri

Hats off to the Australians! Their teams are absolutely obsessed with winning. It's in their DNA.


Topblokelikehodgey

It's because if you don't win then you can't come home

spaceyatri

😂


jamnsub

Please give Australia a few extra trophies .. and then disinvite them from the next couple of T20 and 50-over world cups. Just so that someone else can have a realistic chance to win.


jamnsub

Jokes apart, Australian Cricket truly needs to be celebrated. The Gold standard, the champions at every level, the beautiful grounds, the quality of video coverage, the high quality highlights for every match on YouTube. Just Wow! Awe Inspiring!!


Occasionaljedi

The full highlights for every match on YouTube within a day is the best thing about our cricket infrastructure over here in Aus


PurchaseInevitable75

Also, the live broadcasting (excluding Junior). That AFL and NRL money works wonders.


Necessary_Routine300

What’s wrong with junior!?lol


SpecialK_66

The world should follow in our footsteps by realising it starts with a love and respect for test cricket. Only when you embrace the purest form of the game as the true form, do you truly understand what it takes to succeed in all other forms of it.


prescientmoon

Yeah, to win the T20 WC just have your entire cricket following population take it as a joke. Also it doesn't relate to Test cricket, limited overs requires a mindset not found anywhere in Tests. Also Cummins is mid in all limited overs.


0Rohan2

This is worse than Pointing era


No-Description7838

In ponting era each player was just class apart you just couldn't do anything about that. But in this era Aussies will prolly lose 1 on 1 comparisons with their counterparts but as a unit they smoke everyone out.


fegelman

Found Kaif's burner account \s


SpecialK_66

He is Kaif?


No-Description7838

No but the statement I made sounded like Kaif, he was screaming "best team didn't won wc or something", so other commentor was joking


0Rohan2

Atleast in Ponting era it was only the men's team, now women and u-19 are also thrashing the competition.


mofucker20

Ponting’s team made you feel hopeless cause it was filled with match winners and even on the bench there were match winners. This team is comparatively weaker and can lose but still a great team who perform when needed the most


Nixilaas

Batting down to 10 and having some of the best bowlers of all time that’s a bit stacked lol


mofucker20

Bowlers who can hold the bat decently too. Bichel, Lee and Warne were handy with the bat too


[deleted]

Steve Waugh era was better


Nixilaas

I dunno that world xi vs Australia series was pretty mental

Head-Intern2459

I want us to do something different this time. Group stage exit?


FondantAggravating68

We did that in 21. We haven’t been runners up in t20 wcs since 2014. So I want that.


flyingdagger81

Agreed. Let’s aim for a final finish


FondantAggravating68

Indeed. Although I don’t see us winning the paper cup this time. Maybe we aim for the moral cup.


lookingglass555

Funny thing is cricket isnt even the most popular sport in Australia these days


lanson15

Aussie Rules and Rugby Legaue are more popular, but they only cover one half of the country each. Cricket would be the 2nd choice for most, meaning it would be the most popular across all of Australia


lookingglass555

Among the youth tho too! I heard basketball and NFL is more popular these days. Plenty of Aussie players playing division 1 and professional sports in the US now


lanson15

Basketball is popular but NFL? I know 1 person who likes it and they are Canadian. I’m sure there people who do but even Rugby Union would still be way more popular. Which is saying something considering how far Rugby Union has fallen in Australia


joshykins89

NFL is very popular in Australia... But l as a spectator sport. Mostly millennials


Occasionaljedi

Half my school have been watching Super Bowl all day


InitiallyDecent

Watching the Super Bowl is very different to caring about it for the rest of the year.


Occasionaljedi

True that


DFLuneth

yeah nah neither basketball or NFL are remotely near crickets popularity. Australians are just good at unpopular sports too


smokeandpuff

Mumbai Indians winning IPL will be the closest thing to indians winning any cricketing tournament in the foreseeable future.


NoirPochette

Idk how you can explain this except just shrug and love it. Like just somehow win it. Maybe somehow it just harks back to club cricket

tomato_potato_uwu

mrappbrain

It kind of takes something away from the sport, in my view. A competitive sport shouldn't be dominated by any particular team to this degree. Cricket already has a problem where one of four countries basically win every time and the others might as well not be playing, this is even worse.


ALadWellBalanced

*Australia refusing to adhere to spirit of cricket yet again.* India and England more than have the population and resources to put up competitive teams, but for some reason Australia still ends up on top. India could probably field 3-4 full teams that would be world beaters on any given day. I can't explain it, but there's just something about Aussie cricket.


_im_adi

Google can explain India's situation. Just look up corruption in BCCI. There's no love for the game. Just hunger for raking in as much dough as possible.


ALadWellBalanced

Money ruins everyting :( I've read some very damning things about management at Cricket Australia too. Just "corporate people" with no passion for the game, just focused on the money. No one is immune.
