would australia have won the world cup if ..... ?

Question

there was media and public pressure as in India & pakistan.

Answer 1

Yes, Australia still would have won, but who says Australia is NOT under the same media scrutiny as other teams in the competition. Many players and teams have been lam blasted over the years for their lack of skill and commitment . As for one comment saying it is not in the top 5 sports in Australia, this is totally wrong. In summer, it is THE NUMBER 1 sport. In winter, naturally, football takes over as no competitive cricket is played during that time.

Answer 2

I think when "Gill" drank some fluids which
brought by Autralian reserved player,
might have given him this power hitting ability


Gichrist did illegal thing
me think when "Gilcriss drank some fluids which
brought by Autralian reserved player,
might have given him this big hitting power
Law 3 (6) (c) (i) specifically prohibits a player from using equipment other than that permitted. And nowhere in cricket’s 42 laws is there a mention of a squash ball as a permitted item.

sri lanka could have won under better circustances,

if it was a 50 over match
if the weather was better.

this was the only match in the world cup it wasnt 50 overs. they should have postponed it for the next day or a day the weather was good.

Ultimately....rain & light chaos prevented
Sri Lanka from winning the World cup 2007
still some fans demand srilakns
shut their mouth about this UNJUST....
At least these fans ~criss and ~sord rox and lara king~
doing something against this ~disgusting unjust
thanx again guys
we dont worship Kangaroos
we worship .. only god

Answer 3

i was a good supporter of Australia
but after ponting started bragging...
i dont know ...
it poved i have been in a fair critic against them.
if ICC played final 29 th sunday
Sri lnak would have won
The toss And Pitch condition & LUCK would have changed.
Putting a Squash Ball in a Batting Glove is illegal
by ICC laws.Infact any thing...But one ausie did it.
So keep your mouth shut about it........!!!
that's why i say ,..This was a "Staged -drama" to award Australia the 2007 world Cup.
no body like to accuse gilchrist nor australia.
whem Cronje did this it was abig hue & cry.
when Asie does that everybody accept it.
too bad man, disguting.but now
some people start to say it was More ....Like "WWF"- Wrestling Drama, everything went on according to the script.Whilst I am not that happy nesessarily, that Australia has won the World Cup.But I feel for Sri Lanka who never really had a decent chance to chase the Australian's total. A "Terrible end to a Disappointing" World Cup which has done nothing to advance the game.
I believe that Australia is fighting unit and would have not beaten Srilanka over 50 overs.But having the final reduced to 38 overs and then played in the dark was a Joke.

Both teams should be given a fair opportunity. I ask the Sri Lankan supporters who have been so outspoken in their dispair of Australian supporters (only gentemen-not some good 4 nothing hooligans) not to blame Ausies for this farce.

Instead Blame the ICC who seem to make up rules as they go along. Personally I would have liked to see the match moved to Sunday so that we could have a real game of cricket and not the joke that ensued.
AUS got WC 2007 , but SL played under pressure.When the Final was on the same time their Capital city was attacked by Terrorists.Rain took over the match.
Toss was the ridiculously deciding Facter.
Sri Lankan Players got the ....................
"Terrorists attacking Colombo"- news and Panicked ..
and that did not exactly helped to Lankan course to Victory
much.

Their(Cricketers) kids wives & parents all living in Colombo.
They dont know how far it affected ,towards > target & Bad light as well as Rain.
ICC must answer this question. I dont know these whyICC morons did not call this game to next day?
Utter non sense..!!
And even limit the final to 25 overs. ( In rainy day even kid knows dark will come soon in evening )
Begining ICC has to limit this game to 25 overs or call to next day.
But ICC & organizers want "Business" than the cricket game.
No doubt AUS is a good team.
So how SL or any other team can face "OZ" in bad lights?
This is the worst game I ever saw. Organisers had no common sense at all. they did according to the "Script" that Somehow or other "Australia must Win"
We were in no need of the victory so badly like Australia.
But we don't want like this stupid End either.

we did not bribe Umpires.we didnot Bragged either.
I again wish,Long live asian Cricket.
It can hurt ausies a bit ,i surely know.But ICC descrimination towards Asian players ? Can it be Pardened?
Dissapointing world cup Ever....2007
now every body jump to say dont blame
on these Noble Australians.
Oh phuleeeze .. gimme a break...!!..What a hypocracy,
what i can not understand is some Asian peolpe seems deaf & bling about this

when in Australia once Murali Was bowling The Racist australian crowd shouted that " no Ball"
Inthat match whenever Muralitharan took the Ball..
these so called Noble Australian Racist shouted
" no Ball"...." NO ball"...
they chanted all the while.
anybody ,objected?
I dont think so...Sir..I dont think so...Sir

Have any stood up against it ?SOME Fans..EH?
some cricket loving fans...
Parden them? you gonna say that?
when we now criticize them what they do?
They use dirty language..They use dirty language..
But.. they get away all the time..why?
Cuz they R so good at acting Innocent.....
Squash ball or Alien ball , dont Talk.
cuz Australians did it .
what ever it's Australia..you R supposed to
shut your ****...about it
Hail to Thee.. The Galent Sri Lankans(Lions)
Hip Hip Hurray

Answer 4

I thought that the team India will really do well in the world cup but after watching both Australia and Sri Lanka there is no doubt in my mind that India had no chance whatsoever of winning the world cup even their star batsmen had done as it was expected. Even at their best India can't beat Australia or Sri Lanka at the present time.

Answer 5

Yes !! They are dedicated to this game and they would have won it for sure !! beucase they are hard working and profesional players !! And media and public pressure are not the causes of indian and Pakistani failure ! It was their own weakness and unprofesional attitude that lead to their failure !!Also i think Pakistani and indian public is too much......!they should take this game light ! but emotionalism is our "nature" not habbit !

Answer 6

well the players have gr8 talent dat has to b accepted but i would say dat it is an advantage 4 em cos its not among the top 5 sports in australia
but one thing is 4 sur they r undoubtedly the best who deserved to win
the teams dat lost badly against it can console demselves wid reasons like dese...lol

Answer 7

Yes, defenitely they would have won as their players are mentally much stronger than Indian and Pakistan Players.

Answer 8

Of course,their players does not play under pressure and there are good players in their team.

Answer 9

yes
