Loud Thinking

The secrets of Australian success in cricketing world.

By Sunil Gavaskar:

IN the end, it was a horribly one-sided final. Australia just packed too many guns for New Zealand and steamrolled to another world title, their fourth in the last five World Cups.

It is a tribute to their system which has consistently produced top class players and will continue to do so for years to come.

There is accountability at all levels; there is no room for sentimentality and only the deserving get to don the country’s colours.

So what is it about Australia that makes them so good at the international level?

It could well be the competitive nature of their grassroots cricket at the club level which inculcates a fierce sense of competition as well as loyalty towards the institution and teammates.

#CWC15
