A squash ball won the world cup?! Pleeaaase! Spare us all the histrionics. If you really believe that cricket has been turned on its head by a squash ball in the glove then I would venture the question: Do you know anything at all about cricket? Australia and Sri Lanka were by far the best teams at the world cup and rightly battled it out in the decider. Australia won and showed the dominance they have over world cricket at every level and in all facets of the game. McGrath, Tait and Hogg were among the top 5 wicket-takers for the tournament. Ponting, Hayden, Clarke, Gilchrist, Watson and Symonds got runs when it was needed. Australia were never bowled out through the entire tournament. Sadly I think this absolute statement of superiority not only shows how good Australia is but also how abjectly pitiful and inflexible the rest of world cricket is. Time for the rest of the world to look inwards and restructure their game, rather than looking for excuses or appointing blame with rather insipid accusations.

Australia did it by the help of
squash ball & Umpires .
I find it quite amusing what little prominence Adam Gilchrist's cheating episode in the world cup received in the news . If this was someone from another country(especially the subcontinent), we'll probably hear about it every hour on the hour followed by a great TV debate. when someone(don’t remember the name) dropped a lozenge on the ball a few years ago, the Australian media never got tired of it and the episode was repeated over and over. To the Australian sports fanatics (media included) the definition of a cheater is as follows;
"Someone other than an Australian sportsman who creates an unfair advantage, usually in one's own interest, and often at the expense of others. The term cheating usually refers to the breaking of rules but not laws."

According to ICC :Australia won
but The True Cricket Fans Know sri Lanka could have won
if ICC played it on Sunday or plated it 50 Overs,
Sri Lanka should have been the Winners.
It has been revealed soon after the Australian win against Sri Lanka in the 2007 Cricket World Cup, that the star batsman and man of the match, Adam Gilchrist used a squash ball to improve his grip in his bottom hand. T
he confusing gestures he made soon after reaching his century In light of the stellar performance of Gilchrist when every other batsman including Matthew Hayden failed to maintain a strike rate of 100%, this so called `squash-ball grip` becomes quite intriguing, if not illegal or cheating, I dare say.
Consider this:
Need I mention about "banned substances" that enhance performance?
Shane Worne took once .why not Gilchrist...is he not a
human...Ooh god himself for you guys..or Satan of Cricket to destroy its Image..
think about it.Sir...instead acusing me of this answer.
Cricket is More important than Gilchrist & me.
Clearly, Gilchrist used a non-traditional foreign object to enhance his grip. Perhaps even his mis-hits going over the boundary for a six is an example of the undue advantage gained by this enhanced grip. To say that a man who has been in poor form throughout the tournament just came back to stellar form during the all important final, and that the squash ball is just a coincidence is simply naïve.
After all, these are guys who wanted SLC investigated for a mere team selection policy. Had the roles been reversed, and Sanath Jayasuriya was the one with the squash-ball, I`m sure the cricketing world would be on fire now with all sorts of accusations fired at Sri Lanka for cheating.
2007 world cup is just a cup of unimportance now.
That Marred Whole Concept of CRICKET.

AUSTRALIA
The ONLY undefeated,consistently dominant team throughout the entire tournament.
Fourth time Aus has won it and the only side ever in cricket history to win a "hat trick" of Cups!!
An eight year 29 match winning streak!!
Champions indeed!!
UNSURPASSED!!
Losing side's supporters are now pitifully trying to malign the victors through unabated lies,spurred from their desperately injured egos!!
Brilliant answer Cameron!!

To quote hypocrit above "Someone other than an Australian sportsman who creates an unfair advantage, usually in one's own interest, and often at the expense of others. The term cheating usually refers to the breaking of rules but not laws."
How does changing the laws to allow a bowler to chuck fit into this scenario?
