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:

Cummins: An Aussie World Cup winning captain like no other

There were questions about him at the start of the World Cup, but by the end of it, he killed all the chatter

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

Australia are annoying teacher's pets again, India get gold stars for effort, England look for a place to hide their report cards

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.

The comedy writing of Dan Liebke

"They won the World Cup because Australia." This article sums up just how incredible it was that Australia won the #CWC23 one-day #cricket tournament:

Advance Australia, inevitably

They came into the final as underdogs but dispatched India's greatest ODI side ever - just like they always do
