A generational triumph: revisiting the 2011 World Cup
Manage episode 377615908 series 2703051
We rewind to the 2011 World Cup that was jointly hosted by India, Sri Lanka, and Bangladesh - and talk about ODI cricket back then, the bowler-friendly nature of many games, the big upsets, the nail-biting finishes, and a cathartic moment for India - and a generation that had never knew what it meant to win a World Cup.
Talking Points:
- The roundabout connection between the hosts of the 2011 World Cup and India taking part in the 2007 World T20
- How India had turned into a feisty ODI side leading up to the World Cup
- The close ODI series in South Africa before the World Cup
- Sehwag and Kohli trouncing Bangladesh in the opening game
- The pulsating tie against England in Bangalore
- Australia's first loss in a World Cup since 1999 - against Pakistan
- Steyn leading South Africa to a thrilling win in Nagpur
- Sri Lanka thriving in their home conditions - throttling the opponents
- Sri Lanka's thumping of England in the quarter-final - and echoes of 1996
- India's bowling attack - dealing in cutters, slower ones and knuckle-balls
- An unforgettable night at the Motera - when India overcame Australia
- The hype before Mohali - and the eventual anti-climax of India v Pakistan
- Mahela's silken grace in the final - an innings for the gods
- The riveting partnership between Gambhir and Kohli
- Dhoni... finishes off in style
