Its a shameful situation.The world cup final was played under rainy conditions and thus was reduced to 38 overs.It was a win situation for australia from beginning.Obviously any team which has to play 38 overs instead of 50 with 11 players will score profusely.The match should not have been played on 28th April.Rather it should have been postponed to have a full 100 overs match.Shame ICC, it doesnt even have proper rules.

Any time, Any where, Any one, Any rules & Regulations, Aussies are Up always my dear buddy, who dont you think that if it for 50 Overs Match, Aussies would have made 400 , which only would have worsened SriLankan Chances of winning the Cup. See the body language of SriLankans after Gillis innings.They didnt even bother about misfields and dropped catches.They suggested that they have lost the match already.

it is not Australian team's fault that there is no one close to matching their skills and fitness. they always play to win and in this WC have crushed every team they played with. They are number 1 by a wide margin. Not sure how those chokers were given number 1 ranking just prior to World Cup as they come nowhere near Aus.

absolutely right CricketLover. why shd the aussies be accused of winning too much ? why shd they be blamed for the other teams' inability to win against them ? no team come even close to the aussies. the gap between them and the no.2 side itself is huge.
