Aussies winning 2003 world cup
The Australian cricket team can be compared directly to greats such as Roger Federer, Tiger Woods and Valentino Rossi. All of whom absolutely dominate their respected sports. They have been painful and relentless in their pursuit for revenge in a successful Ashes whitewash, a truly emphatic display. Records have been broken, greats have retired. The story could not have been written any better.
After completely out playing the opposition in their initial One Day International encounters, the Aussies lost the unthinkable. They lost the one day series to a defiant England, or some would say. The English side was depleted with a string of injuries and a constant change in leadership becoming a common theme. The wheels were definitely falling off and Australia only needed to put the icing on the cake.
Instead Australia lost Andrew Symonds and fell apart even if it was only for two games in the final. One has to question the strength of this side and their resilience when England’s glass was obviously half full. This is a timely reminder to opposing teams who may have thought Australia was unbeatable. They are very much beatable in a one day game that contains so many different variables. Teams like India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, West Indies, South Africa, New Zealand and now England are very much contenders to win the world cup.
