‘Silence Golden For Cummins’ Men’, Aussie Media reacts to Australia’s World Cup triumph

Since the sixth World Cup victory, the Australian media has been buzzing all over the internet.

New Delhi: Australia topped the world for the sixth time in ODI cricket history as the Pat Cummins-led side romped to a famous win over India in the 2023 ICC World Cup Final at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Sunday. Putting Rohit Sharma and co to bat first, the Men in Blue huffed and puffed to reach a score of 240 runs in the first innings. Early hiccups saw the visitors fade into the background, but then Travis Head smashed a memorable 137 to guide the Yellow Army to a six-wicket win.

This was Australia’s 8th world title in cricket, having won the T20 World Cup in 2021 and the World Test Championship crown against India this year in June. Since the win, the Australian media has been buzzing all over the internet, calling the famous triumph a ‘Silence Golden For Cummins’ Men’, as reported by The Sydney Morning Herald.

Pat Cummins specifically talked about silencing the home crowd ahead of the final as nothing would give him satisfaction than trapping 1,30,000 spectators in a big cauldron like the Narendra Modi Stadium.

The Western Australia wrote that Travis Head turned India’s dream theater into a “colosseum of heartache.” That is absolutely true as the fans had to leave the stadium with tears in their eyes and the Indian bowlers had no answer to his attack.

The examiner reported that Australia ‘stunned’ India in the final and The advertiser wrote that this win is an “incredible upset.” Clearly, the Australian media, like everyone else, singled out India as the so-called stronger side, but eventually Rome too fell and so did India in the 13th edition of the marquee event.
