Has there ever been a more dominant performance on the world stage?
New Zealand in the 2011 Rugby World Cup? Brazil at the 1970 FIFA World Cup? Maybe so. However, I doubt we’ve ever witnessed a team as powerful and dominant as India in the 2023 Cricket World Cup. Until the final hurdle…
They were almost unstoppable in every department: batting, bowling and fielding. Ten wins out of ten and just the final to go. It was an incredible achievement under such pressure and expectation from their adoring home fans.
Virat Kohli – India’s current most famous sporting God – was averaging over 95, including scoring three centuries in the tournament. In the group stage, he equalled Sachin Tendulkar for the most One Day International centuries (49) in history. Surpassed the record in the semi-final. He was out for 54 in the final…
Traditionally, India at home has beaten teams through the use of mystery spin on slow, crumbly wickets in exhausting heat. I remember watching England play a test match a few years ago where we were bowled out in a single session.
India dominated then. This time, it felt different...Keep reading

12 个月Confidence is a strange thing! You keep talking about it when you are not confident and you simply move on to the next phase, when you have it.

1 年Hey Ed. That was a brilliant read and I had to chip in for obvious reasons. ?? Full credit and no surprises that the Aussies had come prepared and their intent at crucial moments won the day. However, my take from India has been the way the team and the whole country handled the loss. It was not such a big issue anymore as we knew where we stood. The team lost the day not the sport. People stood by the captain and the team and we moved on quickly the next morning to biz as usual. That’s the new India. And that’s the bit that’s different in the pschye of the new generation who know they are good and who know in the long run they can claim their place in the world order. Quite unlike the thinking of my generation! That was my takeaway as handling failure is a test of sustained success. Thanx again for the good read. Cheers

1 年Ed, you won’t be surprised to know that got my attention. Fair play to Australia (through gritted teeth), once again they turned up when it mattered. As you infer the Indians will turn their full focus to the behemoth that is the IPlL.
Great read. You’re right though, the unstoppability theme would have worked better if they hadn’t lost.
