Six and Out - Some Serious Cricket

Australia win World Cup

by SixandOut on April 29th, 2007

As if any other result was likely. Admittedly, the circumstances surrounding their victory leave a lot to be desired, but nevertheless, the Aussies did more than enough, both during this game and throughout the tournament to be worthy winners. The final itself has been described as farcical, owing to the match ending in near darkness after an umpiring cock-up. The Aussies’ innings was made, however, following a remarkable 149 from Adam Gilchrist in 104 balls. Sri Lanka gave it their best, but after Jayasuriya and Sangakarra were out, there was little left to come before the light stepped in.
