How Long Will The Australian Reign On Cricket Last?

21 November 2009 10 Comments

On June 20, 1999 Australia won the world cup. And since then, until today it has dominated cricket completely and have badly crushed almost all their opponents in each major tournament and series.
It has been 8 and a half years now, and the reign still goes on.
Will the reign last forever?

    Well they have a very good system which produces good sportsmen.
    We need to do a lot to improve the system first of all.
    That’s the wrong thing in our countries.
    I think Indian & Pakistani players are far more talented than other cricketers.
    We need to work on a lot of different things.

    As long as other countries keep telling themselves they can’t win! We have a very good system here for encouraging junior players, good facilities for training them, & the general interest of former players to coach them into their fullest potential. We have such depth that unless other countries adopt similar methods the game won’t survive.

    I don’t think so. One more year and Australia will not be on top of the cricket rankings, because i think India,Sri Lanka,South Africa,New Zealand,England and Pakistan are all improving and will eventually catch up with them.

    well in that 1999 they didnt dominate that world cup cause south africa choked and they tied the semi-final.
    I think the aussie dominance at home will continue for few more years because they have a strong batting line up.
    However, since there is no warne and mcgrath i think aussies will win more games overseas than they did before and wont be able to dominate. that dominance is surely but slowly ending.

    As long as ICC doesn’t interfere on the issues like sledging, unfair media use, poking the batsman, prolonged appealing and putting pressure on umpires, racism in umpiring , umpires hatching Aussies ego due to scare of their rage in case of result not in their favor, putting pressure and arrogance on other countries decent behavior, amking excuses like sour grapes as did in 20-20.
    Indians , sri Lanka , Pak are not less talented, do you think Aussie batting is better than India , its just that they , their media, their crowds, bodyline bowling and **** umpiring in intimidate other nations, it is more os a scare and mindblock than anything else.

    IN the next world cup SriLanka is going to beat them and win the Cup once again :) I think they deserve it and they love cricket and are very sincere. :) Win or loose they are very content. now thats something for us to learn. ;)

    As soon as a determined team keeps its cool and defeats Australia in a series, their composure will get disintegrated and they start dropping like nine pins.
