Few better sights in cricket than watching the Aussies getting battered.
Said it before and I’ll say it again. Would much rather the Aussies win than the Indians. So many Indian cricket fans, writers and some players/ex-players talk about the game as if they fecking own it. They’re blinkered, patronising, dismissive and obnoxious - but only about cricket. Talk to an Indian about anything else and they’re engaging and quite lovely.

Unlike the Aussies then?
Haha! You make a good point, but the difference is that Anglo/Aussie ribbing is exactly that - ribbing. The English and the Aussies have historically demonstrated a large amount of gloating, whinging, pettiness, rule-breaking (or, at least, rule-bending), anger, accusations, complaints, personal attacks and so on. However, whether we’re talking cricket, rugby or anything else, and when the heat of the moment has cooled and time to reflect has been taken, there’s always an underlying respect and sense of humour. The Indians demonstrate all of these worst characteristics and more, but there’s no humour, no respect. They mean it and they don’t see anything wrong with that.
Why has the ball hit the stumps 5 times in this WC yet the bails don't fall off ? Is this to make sure it's a run feast ? Hard enough being a bowler in one day cricket without the bails being glued on.

have only seen 2 of them, but on one occasion it was the barest of touches on leg stump, and the other was a clip on the very base of the leg stump - on both occasions I can fully understand the bails not moving.
Weird how Warner was the slowest of the Aussie batsmen
They gave him no width or length - showed how England should bowl to him. With both him and Smith, Archer should try to pin them back with short stuff, and then straight and full.

The BBC have an article on this. I love the response in one tweet about David Warner
They should bring back the bowl-off (bowl-out?) for rained-off matches. If the batsmen feel left-out, just have a net and award the game to the team that looked more in nick
