Australia’s defeat, however is not a surprise result, it is a shock result! It was like David bringing down Goliath.

Imagine if England beat Australia in the other match – they could end up like India/Pakistan in the WC. Baptism of fire for Tim Nielsen, their new coach…

So much for atom by atom analysis of the competition by the experienced and the inexperienced commentators and analysts!!

Or is it shades of Irish win over Pakis–Ex coach John Buchanan might have had premonition of this happening and hence jumped the ship early!!!!

Like field Hockey, cricket is quickly entering the stage where brute force will take over. Top teams will have three or four players of outstanding physical ability, who can score at 10 runs per over. For them swing and spin will be antiquated. The day is not far when the first day score in a test match would be around 600! (Note it moved from 200 to 350 after the introduction of ODIs.) Captains may hesitate to enforce follow on with a lead of over 700 runs (scoring around 1000 runs by tea on the second day in their first innings)
