Pretty muchIndia losing this world cup
Australia winning it
aye. looked straighter in drs than the naked eye too. looked like it was hooping down leg side on first viewing.
240 was never enough. This is proving to be a cakewalk.
This crowd needs to get loud. It's too quiet and that helps Aussies
Sensible batting here. Nice and easy against Jadeja
They're quiet because they know it's over.
Travis Head is running away with it now.
Lab has always been a solid test cricketeer. Head is a great limited overs player but has done well in the test team. His performance in this tournament has been exceptional though.

i spent too long thinking how funny it was that india were falling apart that i totally forgot about how shit it will feel to see the likes of smith and cummins celebrating. i’ll just focus on hazlewood and starc, they seem like blokes
I expected the pitch to have more demons for the spinners but it hasn't.
too bad for him that he’ll only be remembered for that bairstow run out.
Think they're all blokes mate
Oh aye they've certainly proved me wrong. Even some of the stats coming into the Ashes suggested the players they were.
Having grown up with the Waughs and Pointing etc they just didn't look the Aussie players I had always associated with the Australia team.
Kudos to them they've put Aussies in a great position here
not marnus. his features are too soft and delicate.
This is all that Afghanistan lad that dropped Maxwell's fault.
I was just thinking how different things could be
The pitch was slow but not to the level of 240. It was just some of our batters playing with little intent.
Going to be scenes on here when Head turns down a single on 99.
They still would have been in semis.
You've forgotten that was Alex Carey
How demoralising is this for India? Your best ever team, home world cup and they're still not good enough to overcome an Aussie side that doesn't even make their top 4 all time.
Time to pick a new national sport and give that a go?

The Aussie commentator not reacting to the Indian Comms (sorry I should know who it was) claiming theyve only lost due to the toss here 
Great TV
Great TV
That's not our national sport.
And I suppose we'll have to do what the English do about football. Gobble up the franchise money and deal with the national team being cursed.

Yeah really difficult to manage those two feelings, particularly as Australia are waltzing home.
Unbelievable knock from Head
There will be plenty of fishing in here tonight can I advise not biting?
Well batted Travis Head
Shame a WC final hundred is met with complete silence
Yeah it’s massive blow. Especially with all the advantages they have had throughout too.
Disappointing final, not at all competitive in the end. Will be a strange slow burn to the end.
You may as well do it properly then by getting rid of the overseas crap and let the actual good players play.
Take a bow Travis. Definition of clutch.
Looked like they were up applauding to be fair... Just not all the vigorously
Gavaskar needs to curb his enthusiasm
The dew has certainly changed the pitch in the second innings. But yep, Australia outplayed us while bowling, and certain batters crumbled mentally under pressure. Rahul's SR was always going to come haunt us. And Travis Head is India's kryptonite in ICC finals.
IPL contract for Head?
Next Indian captain?
There were a few applause but it was a bit shit. Cricket is followed differently in India tbf. It's partisan there. All quite chill everywhere else.
