Welcome to the Melbourne Community Daily Discussion Thread.
We won. Australia won The Cricket World Cup 2023. 🏆🎉💛💚💛💚💛💚💛💚💛🇦🇺
I bowed out at about 12:30 where we lost 3 or 4 wickets by the 7th over and thought we were gone.
Happy to see we got the chocolates at the end!
I too stayed and watched the whole thing. First time watching cricket. Getting up now.
I didn’t sleep well so I might as well have just stayed up and watched the entire thing.
Still glad I got to see the double century from Maxwell where he cramped up majorly. That was a match for the ages.
I’m surprised at the lack of interest in the Australia thread. This was such a massive deal, the odds of an Australia win were so low. And then they went and did it anyway!
Work is going to be so much fun!
I think it’s the loss of Cricket “season”. There’s so much cricket year-round that people no longer get that build up/6 month break cycle any more. The team is playing so well at the moment, and there just isn’t the interest there used to be.
