Update 3: 7:51am IST. 29-04-2007. Australia wins the 2007 ICC Cricket World Cup. Read the scorecard. Congratulations, Adam Gilchrist. That was a fabulous innings (149 runs, 13 fours, 8 sixes, 72-ball hundred, Strike Rate: 143.26 and in the finals of the cricket world cup). Gilly played the innings of his lifetime. What a magical knock! Wow, well played, Gilly. Congratulations, Australia.
Update 4: 9:52am IST 29-04-2007: Congratulations to the unbeatable Australians. Third successive World Cup win for Australia. Is there a challenger in site? Doesn't seem so.
Many congratulations to Australia on winning the 2007 cricket world cup.
There needs to be a better system than Duckworth Lewis for playing rain-shortened one day matches.
It was boring world cup after the exit of India and Pakistan. This year's world cup didn't have the flair or enthusiasm.
Australia is an unbeatable team. Congratulations to the captain, coach and team members of the Australian cricket team. Cheers for the World Cup Winners.
Well played Sri Lanka. They were the 2nd best team. Australia, by far, occupies the top slot in world cricket by a long way. It will be some time before a team really challenges Australia. New Zealand did this Feb, however that was when the Aussies were without Gilchirst.
Adam Gilchrist is a class act. What a player! What a team!
Cheers,
