I agree with this assessment of the captaincy of Pat Cummins during the #CWC23 one-day world #cricket tournament and the rest of 2023 - written by Osman Samiuddin who is now one of my favourite cricket writers and analysts:
#CWC23
One and a quarter million spectators attended the 48 #Cricket World Cup matches across India, including according to this ICC release "more than 90,000" at the final. How many people visited from other countries? No one keeps stats on that. https://www.cricketworldcup.com/news/3791018 #CWC23
Toppers, duffers, can-do-betters - the World Cup report cards are out:
Pat Cummins on the future of international one day #cricket: "Maybe because we won, but I did fall in love with ODI [cricket] again this World Cup," he said. "I think the scenario where every game really matters, it does mean a bit different to just a bilateral."
I agree about 'meaningless bilaterals'. Perhaps if they made them mean something by earning points to enter the world cup tournament they would mean more. There would have to be a method of fair competitive for minnows into the world cup too.

Too tired last night to notice where Warner was sitting as the match wound down. But this is excellent behaviour. #CWC23

Maxwell with the 200 strike rate at the end. Clutch. #CWC23
Australia, winners of the 2023 men's fifty-over Cricket World Cup by six wickets with seven overs to spare. Let it be known as Travis Head's Game, but some outstanding captaincy by Pat Cummins and tight disciplined fielding played critical roles in pinning India to a manageable score. Even a blistering start by Rohit and half-centuries from Kohli and Rahul ended up in the shade.
Five and a half minutes of highlights of the World Cup Final. #cricket #CWC23 #IndvAus https://www.cricketworldcup.com/video/3789854
Congratulations, #Australia on winning yet another #ICC trophy.
#TeamIndia faltered on so many fronts, and I am SO frustrated that I don't feel like listing anything now. In time, once I feel better and come out of the depressing feeling, maybe I will write up something... but, for now... it just SUCKS!!!

CHAMPIONS! ๐ฆ๐บ ๐๐
A thrilling win for Australia, claiming their sixth Cricket World Cup title in a shocking six-wicket win against host country, India.
What a win!! ๐๐๐ฅ๐#CWC23 https://www.instagram.com/p/Cz11nvhyyld/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon
@TheVoidTLMB @mtearle At first I was like what's all this Rahulla Bulla about and then it Rohit me Bumrah that we're in Kuldeep trouble.
Did I do that right? ๐ง
Dear India๐ฎ๐ณ & Irfan Pathan
"KARMA IS A BITCH"๐๐๐
Well done Australia on winning the #CWC23 tonight! Travis Head amazing, somehow always turns it on for the big matches. Looking forward to watching the replay of our batting innings today and see how we silenced the crowd of >100k people who were - like me - expecting a different result.
Come on, Mastodon, I was hoping for some more terrible puns. Australia always finding a way to get aHead. Heading off Indiaโs dominance in the final. (I leave the obvious innuendo as an exercise for the reader.)
Anything to help numb the pain of the best team falling at the final hurdle and Australia winning yet another CWC.
I do feel for India, everything was set up for an amazing celebration, and this India team IS a great cricket side. But Australia have a habit of spoiling parties with ruthless sporting efficiency and my word they were incredible today. Kept the score down brilliantly with the ball to setup the chance for the batsmen on an increasingly lacklustre wicket. Amazing performance. #CWC23
