After India got kicked out,I was just hoping that Australia wouldnt win the trophy....any team would have been okay as long as it was not Australia. Looking back at their performace,and their total domination of all other teams,I guess I have to just live the fact that they are truly the greatest team ever.28 straight wins in World Cup is no joke and it is sad that they have only themselves to challenge. If India has to even think of being a force to reckon with,instead of copying the Aussie team,the BCCI should emulate the deeds of Cricket council Australia in the early 1990s .They should improve the cricket infrastructure in India.They have the money and the power.I wonder why nobody in the council is even thinking of owning up.

You are absolutely correct. The biggest contrast between India and Australia is the way youngsters are introduced to the game from early ages. In India, we just start playing cricket, without any coaching, nobody to correct our mistakes, no equipments, no grounds, nothing. By the time they are introduced to big league, they pick up vulnerabilities that are not easy to fix later in the career. In India, a lots of raw talent is wasted because of lack of early coaching. Do we care about fitness until getting the selection to the Indian team? In Australia, kids start off with proper training and equipments. And they constantly revaluate to fix their flaws. Thus they create excellent cricketers out of average talents.
No wonder Australians keep on winning consistently.
