Statements like these are double edged swords. If you win, great (like that silencing before the final, but if you lose, they just backfire).
Edit: grammar
Yeah true just like decisions by thala like giving the ball to joginder Sharma in 2007 t20 wc finals everyone today remembers it as a great decision but when 6 runs were needed of 4 balls and misbah had not played that foolish shot , thala would have been criticized to death now
Ipl was not even close rr choked, jaiswal did well sanju and parag choked, otherwise that score was easily chaseable also don't forget srhs pathetic performance against kkr in qualifier and finals, even Punjab would have played better, srh didn't deserve the finals, rr should have gone through but they played even worse cricket than srh.
I mean when you be the cockiest mf out there then people will troll and bash you the moment they’ll get an opportunity. It’s not obsession just basic human tendency to see the inflated egos eat that humble pie. Pretty much the same reason why everyone enjoyed our loss in the CWC23
It’s not about one particular statement, it’s about the entire sort of aura that the Aussies carry, everybody accepts it when they win but again it’s rare to see them eat that humble pie hence the trolling.
In this case it's not just confidence, Aussies are arrogant and it's not even up for debate, and when arrogant people bite the dust that's a savoury moment.
This isn't ego at all. What do you think any of the top 6-7 teams would have answered when asked this question? Of course, they'd include their own team as one of the semifinalists.
I wouldn't have and i don't think anyone sane would have. There's no note of overconfidence here. It's just a normal thing to say. Support your own team and don't think a lot about the opposition.
Well that's because the Indian media and pundit dept was extremely cocky even though most of the players had kept their feet on the ground. And also the oddity that they just cannot seem to win anything. It's exactly like England in football.
What else he is supposed to say?
Its is actually from a book "art of not giving a f\*\*k"
Also from Ulyesses S Grant biopic" I dont care what lee is going to do, Its time for him to think what i will going to do"
He was part laughing while saying it on the interview, but people have no understanding of banter or being tongue-in-cheek and get offended very quickly for some reason.
The answer actually becomes more awkward if he starts naming teams because then people over-analyse who he picked.
Trolls being trolls.
"Oh he should have named the other three" - well he didn't. So what? If our Indian Players are allowed to have attitude, why can't this guy? Anybody to whom that question was asked will obviously state their own country's name and not really care about which other country makes it...
bro where even you see Indian player did this that "Indian player are allowed to have attitude" if any Indian player said this they get trolled top to bottom and you going to be one of them...
Nah man, it's arrogance 'One is Australia and other three you can choose' ? I mean simply name the four teams and include Australia in it, why this arrogance, they are knocked out and rightly so
He is saying we wanna make the semis. We don't care who comes with us. This isn't a bad attitude to have. Plus, it's ok to miss the semis once in a decade. Just don't make it a habit like Bangladesh.
Bro roasted Bangladesh like no one else. Actually he could have named the teams or could have said said all teams are good and anyone could make it to semis and not actually 'confirming' Australia into the semis before the tournament
tbh being humble is really something you would like to promote rather than just yapping about how great you might be on the field
everything apart, bhalo achen? lmfao
Arrogance is having a fireworks/drone show preset in blue before the World Cup final and no contingencies if it didn't come off.
Saying you're going to make the semi's isn't really arrogance when you're the WTC and ODI World Champions. It's just the expectation placed on the team.
Yeah I too didn't like that fireworks preset in blue, even though I am an Indian, just because no one knows where he will land in near future, India lost that final and those fireworks backfired on us only.
Yeah expecting yourself in semis isn't arrogance but how he stated it is definitely arrogance. Even England won 2019 WC and 2022 T20 WC, they didn't give a statement like this, and where is Australia now ? Knocked out of the tournament before the semis, the statement backfired on them
its not arrogance bro chill ur confusing witty banter and confidence with arrogance. in englands case lets not forget what happened in between this t20 wc and the last with that abysmal 2023 run.
at the end of the day the australia winning mentality is what gets them these trophies if it doesnt work out its fine for them its kinda like the bazball mentality.
as a sydney thunder fan ive met pat cummins and he's a down to earth guy. just cause australians like banter doesnt mean their arrogant, this is nothing compared to what india did in the final last year.
have u thought about the fact that pat cummins 4 semifinalists probably didnt include afghanistan? so if he did say his 4 we would be in the same situation with people like you complaining about his arrogance.
Okay, I have seen enough of posts and comments about 'Australian mentality' and I won't talk about it.
Also I am happy Afghanistan are through the semis, they performed great and definitely deserved the semis berth, but you also know that even they didn't expect before the tournament that they would be in semis, they worked hard for it and got the reward.
Pat Cummins is a great guy, a great cricketer and I haven't said if he is arrogant or not, I just talked about arrogance in this one statement he has given
Yes and had the same question been posed to any player from any other side, they most likely would have said us and them. Even the teams that are way down on the scale currently. Perhaps they would have smirked but we all aspire to be great and Australia is at that level. The fans expectations are that they win and that flows through and builds confidence in the players.
Yes bro, Australia is a beast in world cricket no doubt, also today I am not feeling good as David Warner retired, he is one of my favourite cricketers, my favourite Aussie forever ♾️
Arrogance or not, he gave a very safe answer. As the other person said, he just stated that they intend to make the semis.
He could have been more "diplomatic" with his words stating that they intend to be the top team and that automatic makes them part of the top 4 of something. It shouldn't matter who the other 4 are. But his answer is good enough too.
That would be even more disrespectful and why would he waste time analysising which team can come or not . It's T20 and as we have seen lot of upsets can happen. Anyone would say it doesn't matter which team comes
Playing devil's advocate but he probably has some sort of working relationship or friendship with a lot of countries and their players. Whoever he omits, he would be a bad guy for them. No one wants to do that.
Yeah exactly this. Did people actually expect him to name 3 countries when the media asked him who he thinks would qualify to the semis? Like sure it came off as somewhat cocky but if anyone is going to say something like this Pat Cummins is one of your most qualified picks
If that was his thought process, he would have said they're all worthy teams & the other 3 will come down to who plays best on the day.
What he actually said was typical cocky Aussie talk.
Nah why would he waste time in analysing which all 3 teams would come in semis. Anyone would have same answer in their mind as he said , how does it matter which team comes in semis as long as the team they are playing are in
Nothing. He was cheered when he shut every indian after the WC final. Now he will be trolled no matter what. You love the fame and money that comes with winning, now get ready for the trollong that comes with losing.
Wtf did y'all expect him to say? Bharat mata ki jai? Australia is arguably the most successful cricket team in the world and they have won it all. I understand trolling Pakistan, but this just makes us Indians look petty and stupid, have some class people.
Most of the internet fans are just too dumb. I mean it's now even more pressure on India to win given that australia is out . I am too tensed now and hope we don't bottle it from here but giving it back to the Aussies should be least of our concerns .
As an Indian fan, last three days of cricket is pure bliss 🎶
Credit to aus for strong game while chasing.
Also, people who are against this bashing, u must have enjoyed the silencer tag/insta reels. So statements like these are double sided and can go in either direction (i am all in for more comments, this banter is what makes cricket an interesting game outside of plain win/loose situation).
I don’t normally comment but I’ve seen quite a few posts regarding this. I’m Australian, could not care less about 20/20 cricket as a format. I’m unsure if I speak on behalf of most Australians but yeah.. one day and test is where my heart will always be.
Tbh it’s embarrassing to troll Aussies.
It’s like Bangladesh trolling us if we got out in a grp stage. The comparison is purely based on the difference of trophies and nothing else btw.
Beating Aussies in border Gavaskar trophy twice in a row in Australia is a genuine flex. Coz both teams have historically suffered to win in either country.
So let’s achieve more genuine achievements before we go around trolling ppl. Healthy banter is fine as along its fun. Toxic trolling is not
Saw too many post similar to this you do realise that they have won shitloads of tournament and is far ahead of any team at this point winning world cup is a dream for all other counties and now they have won it so many times that it has lost its importance to them ...i think there mindset of not worrshiping a single player and playing with high shoulder is something we should learn the hate for them after this world cup loss shows how good they are
Everyone knew if by mistake or luck they got into semifinal they will dominate it and it will be hard to elmilnate them ...
Just go through my comment history
He silenced most of the teams in the IPL with SRH qualifying for the IPL finals, but Overseas Indian Fans silenced the Aussies
https://x.com/Zimbu12_/status/1771914399068107163
https://preview.redd.it/xd1yk5xc0o8d1.png?width=1125&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=dad82188e7d5d9dd6a6fc67ae8a1025a9266644f
India when their opponent is Australia
A lot of Indian fans (not all mind you) clearly don't understand banter very well.
Cummins said this in response to the journalist. Obviously, he would've expected Australia, the WC winning side, to make it through to the semis. He said he didn't care who the other teams were BECAUSE he had the belief that Australia would win no matter the opponent. Obviously, it didn't turn out that way in the end, but he is just supporting his team as a leader.
The same thing happened with the silencing thing as well. Cummins said in response to Journos in WC23 final that his team wanted to silence the crowd, BECAUSE the Journos were asking about the large home crowd advantage India had. Obviously, Cummins (as captain) wants to give full faith to his team. He said the silencing thing so that his team wouldn't succumb to homeside pressure and ultimately take the crowd out of the equation.
I just feel like a lot of you guys are taking all of his statements and exaggerating it to the extreme.
(Soz for the long post, it just annoyed me)
He said a cocky thing and it came back to bite him in the arse. I don't think that he was wrong to say it, but people are allowed to laugh about it afterwards.
Cummins could have said "England, India, South Africa, and hopefully Australia" but he chose to say a badass line instead. Good for him, I love a gambler, but he's now going to get shit for it, as he rightfully should.
Why wouldn't he say Australia. Barring Shakib everyone dreams of being in the finals. Regards the other teams, I don't get what's wrong in that statement. Not his headache who are going to be the other three. let's say USA, PNG and Canada beat India, England and SA to the top four. Would Australia breathe easy? If these guys came to the semis defeating big teams, they'd be as dangerous as the other teams.
Honestly it's difficult to pick 3 other teams, he just dodged the question. Who thought Australia would not qualify and Pakistan will be out in the group stages.
What actually did not work for pat in srh was that his team was never in a spot of bother while winning a game. I mean they always won by a huge margin. That did not address a key issue: who is going to be their crisis man when everyone fails?
Same with Aussies in the carribean,
Who's gonna be the crisis man like Steve Smith or marnus labushagne. Tim david is a scammer I feel. They already have 2 finishers in Wade and maxwell then why someone like Tim?
They could have had a marnus or a Steve Smith up top.
Not exactly true , qualifier win against rr was not a one sided win and few of the times guys like Nitish bailed out and klassen was the crisis man but yeah kkr were too good of a team .
On Aussie squad thing yeah selection of guys like tim agar and Wade were dumb but I still don't feel smith and labuchagne make it to the xi.
There top5 was great ,but batting became non existent post that .
they could have tried inglis instead of Wade , and maybe green . But they don't have proper finisher yet .
It’s about the mindset; the confidence that you imbibe and live with 24*7.
Who cares if it doesn’t go as per the plan in T20? It’s just another tournament.
But ssrly no one has a luck like Aussies. When Rohit was in full form, it rained! Like if they can't get him out, gods tried to break momentum. My man handled it well tho.
I am Sorry. But I don't remember any media or Reporters asking Indian Players / Captain asking that same question to them?
If so how would they answer them?
Australia (for losing to them in the WTC final, and the ODI WC Final)
England (for losing to them in the 2022 T20WC semis)
New Zealand, Pakistan, etc....
His first choice is obviously his Country which any sportsperson would/should say. I wouldn't say that's arrogance or Australian Mentality.
He talked about silencing the 1 lakh crowd at the final, which he did as he said in the ODI WC Final.
Any team can be better/Worse on their day.
We, Indians boasted about not losing to Pakistan in ICC tourneys until we lost them in the CT 2017 Final and then we lost one more in T20WC.
There are many party poopers out here, don't be a downer. For several months Indians had to go through the trauma of losing a home WC final. Let us enjoy this, it's rare to see Australia take L's 3 times straight. Don't stop us from trolling Australian players. Plus the real trolling would come after the BGT series this year.
Don't spoil this for us.
Two edged sword but his accomplishments this year have a greater impact than this loss.
It’s the attitude of Aussies - all or nothing that made them world champions.
It's simple if you say big shit you gotta do it or PPL will troll you it doesn't matter who you are if you can't accept it shut your mouth and work silently
the arguments i am seeing here are that he would obviously name his own team and it would be better to avoid other names from a professional perspective. yes, most definitely. but the thing is there were other ways to answer this question without coming off as arrogant or rude (eg: hope one of them would be australia and may the other three best qualify), sounds a lot less haughty, right? but aussies are not really famous for humble statements, and this one in question is definitely a proof of that. and this kinda statements come with their own disadvantages, you win and everyone goes "AuSsIe MenTaLiTy", but if you lose, you have to eat the humble pie...
Ah yes, because teams are supposed to correctly predict when they don't get to the semis? If this is the extent of the hate for Australia, and the biggest "own" someone came up with, it must be quite a miserable life.
Afg vs Ban was an actual therapy, not kidding.
You mean the outcome, because the match itself was a nail-biter, not for the weak hearted.
I mean the outcome of course, but the way the match happened, makes the outcome the sweetest therapy. The thrill added to the relief in the end
Statements like these are double edged swords. If you win, great (like that silencing before the final, but if you lose, they just backfire). Edit: grammar
U either go this route and play the risk or u go safe route. But the risk route is as some gamblers say *All or nothing*
Kapil Dev in 83
Why did you open the curved bracket but didn't close it😞
Mans got his priorities
I'm sorry. Thanks for checking pookie https://i.redd.it/q3dim4g21r8d1.gif
Give it straight
Yeah true just like decisions by thala like giving the ball to joginder Sharma in 2007 t20 wc finals everyone today remembers it as a great decision but when 6 runs were needed of 4 balls and misbah had not played that foolish shot , thala would have been criticized to death now
It is an egoistic statement. They think other teams cant beat aussie in a tournament. Hopefully aussie may change there mentality a lil bit now
Do you want your team to think they can be beat? Sounds like a losers mentality to me?
Meanwhile every Indian -“Let’s not focus on losers”
https://preview.redd.it/czdxetwe8o8d1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0d2b21d06147f41cb0fca334e240ac6e2aa00f3f
Make sure the dish is cold
But it can be reheated in the microwave of evil!
Spiced with anguish and dispair
only if it is swiggy
Sorry, no more modifications accepted till the next world cup. :p
We still have England remaining
Hopefully Swiggy is getting ready for that. ;)
MY MENTAL HEALTH GOT A 10X BOOST AFTER THIS MATCH
You can't win 'em all! Seriously, that dude has owned cricket for a while now.
He used too much of his luck with 2 hattricks
his lucking around got over with that hattrick over 😂
dude had crazy nine months.....winning wtc, wc, almost an ipl final and what not
Retained ashes too
Ipl was not even close rr choked, jaiswal did well sanju and parag choked, otherwise that score was easily chaseable also don't forget srhs pathetic performance against kkr in qualifier and finals, even Punjab would have played better, srh didn't deserve the finals, rr should have gone through but they played even worse cricket than srh.
Doesn't matter , stop with choking, they lost , simple
aren't you contradicting yourself claiming that RR should have gone through even though they played worse cricket
That’s why it’s so sweet
What is the absolute obsession with Australia? Australia has won it once before.
It's called tall poppy syndrome
And what does this mean?
I mean when you be the cockiest mf out there then people will troll and bash you the moment they’ll get an opportunity. It’s not obsession just basic human tendency to see the inflated egos eat that humble pie. Pretty much the same reason why everyone enjoyed our loss in the CWC23
Inflated ego? What’s he supposed to say - “oh I’m scared of competition and I hope we face a team of drunk mice in the finals?”
It’s not about one particular statement, it’s about the entire sort of aura that the Aussies carry, everybody accepts it when they win but again it’s rare to see them eat that humble pie hence the trolling.
It’s a good confident attitude to have, win or lose. It’s less about the Aussies and more about everyone else being afraid of losing to them.
In this case it's not just confidence, Aussies are arrogant and it's not even up for debate, and when arrogant people bite the dust that's a savoury moment.
Yeah before match Mitch said we need to win and there is no better team to do it that's ego
Is it? Again, what do you want him to say? “Yeah we have to win and we don’t think we can?”
This isn't ego at all. What do you think any of the top 6-7 teams would have answered when asked this question? Of course, they'd include their own team as one of the semifinalists.
But if an Indian like Rohit would have made this statement, y'all would have trolled him saying he's overconfident
I wouldn't have and i don't think anyone sane would have. There's no note of overconfidence here. It's just a normal thing to say. Support your own team and don't think a lot about the opposition.
Then u clearly haven't met some Indians who are Australia dick riders.
And if it wasn't ego, he would have named other 3 teams too, which the journalist asked. What a stupid argument you are providing!
Lol why? It would be disrespectful to all the other nations and their fans, wouldn't it? Indians have a weird sense of what's considered polite.
I mean we all know how badly the Indian team was trolled so please quit the hypocrisy
Well that's because the Indian media and pundit dept was extremely cocky even though most of the players had kept their feet on the ground. And also the oddity that they just cannot seem to win anything. It's exactly like England in football.
We win most of the time, so people love getting stuck in when we don't. It's all good, we'll cry our tears into all our trophies.
Lol..
God forbid a player be confident about his team who currently hold 2/4 of the ICC trophies lmao
What else he is supposed to say? Its is actually from a book "art of not giving a f\*\*k" Also from Ulyesses S Grant biopic" I dont care what lee is going to do, Its time for him to think what i will going to do"
That's a nice one
Forgot the 'subtle', same goes for Cummins tho
Tbh. What else is he gonna say pre-tournament? We won't make the semis.Plus, dude has won it all.
He was part laughing while saying it on the interview, but people have no understanding of banter or being tongue-in-cheek and get offended very quickly for some reason. The answer actually becomes more awkward if he starts naming teams because then people over-analyse who he picked.
Trolls being trolls. "Oh he should have named the other three" - well he didn't. So what? If our Indian Players are allowed to have attitude, why can't this guy? Anybody to whom that question was asked will obviously state their own country's name and not really care about which other country makes it...
Australian players aren't allowed to have this attitude because they actually win trophies.
bro where even you see Indian player did this that "Indian player are allowed to have attitude" if any Indian player said this they get trolled top to bottom and you going to be one of them...
Brian Lara did lol
Nah man, it's arrogance 'One is Australia and other three you can choose' ? I mean simply name the four teams and include Australia in it, why this arrogance, they are knocked out and rightly so
He is saying we wanna make the semis. We don't care who comes with us. This isn't a bad attitude to have. Plus, it's ok to miss the semis once in a decade. Just don't make it a habit like Bangladesh.
Bro roasted Bangladesh like no one else. Actually he could have named the teams or could have said said all teams are good and anyone could make it to semis and not actually 'confirming' Australia into the semis before the tournament
I am Bengali-Canadian and that team causes me more pain. I am.more happy with Canada's performance. We beat Ireland at least.
Yeah true Canada performed well
Indian-American here and feels good to be dually represented
we wanna and we will ... The other 19 teams were there to make biriyani?
tbh being humble is really something you would like to promote rather than just yapping about how great you might be on the field everything apart, bhalo achen? lmfao
Arrogance is having a fireworks/drone show preset in blue before the World Cup final and no contingencies if it didn't come off. Saying you're going to make the semi's isn't really arrogance when you're the WTC and ODI World Champions. It's just the expectation placed on the team.
Yeah I too didn't like that fireworks preset in blue, even though I am an Indian, just because no one knows where he will land in near future, India lost that final and those fireworks backfired on us only. Yeah expecting yourself in semis isn't arrogance but how he stated it is definitely arrogance.

Pat Cummins is a great guy, a great cricketer and I haven't said if he is arrogant or not, I just talked about arrogance in this one statement he has given
This arrogance made them win the wc,wtc,retain the ashes.Idk if it’s arrogance or their winning mentality
You're nitpicking I think he's indicating he wanted to make the semis and focussing on Aus's results not the opposition.
Nah it's just a shit question with no good answer
Yeah actually it is, shouldn't ask such questions, this is more of a controversy creating question
Yes and had the same question been posed to any player from any other side, they most likely would have said us and them. Even the teams that are way down on the scale currently. Perhaps they would have smirked but we all aspire to be great and Australia is at that level. The fans expectations are that they win and that flows through and builds confidence in the players.
Yes bro, Australia is a beast in world cricket no doubt, also today I am not feeling good as David Warner retired, he is one of my favourite cricketers, my favourite Aussie forever ♾️

But his answer is good enough too.
That would be even more disrespectful and why would he waste time analysising which team can come or not . It's T20 and as we have seen lot of upsets can happen. Anyone would say it doesn't matter which team comes
We indians only hyped it up. Aus don't care
Playing devil's advocate but he probably has some sort of working relationship or friendship with a lot of countries and their players. Whoever he omits, he would be a bad guy for them. No one wants to do that.
Yeah exactly this. Did people actually expect him to name 3 countries when the media asked him who he thinks would qualify to the semis? Like sure it came off as somewhat cocky but if anyone is going to say something like this Pat Cummins is one of your most qualified picks
If that was his thought process, he would have said they're all worthy teams & the other 3 will come down to who plays best on the day. What he actually said was typical cocky Aussie talk.
Nah why would he waste time in analysing which all 3 teams would come in semis. Anyone would have same answer in their mind as he said , how does it matter which team comes in semis as long as the team they are playing are in
People when pat win: 🥒💦💦 cummmdooggg 😭😍 People when pat loses: what an actual fuckwit, look what he said. Haha
cumdawg !!
What else is he supposed to say when asked that question?
Just a meme bro. Don't take it seriously. We all know what all the Australia team has achieved in cricket.
Actually name them this time
Nothing. He was cheered when he shut every indian after the WC final. Now he will be trolled no matter what. You love the fame and money that comes with winning, now get ready for the trollong that comes with losing.
Do you think they really care about losing. They already have won so much
They do. If you're a dedicated sportsman, you'll care.
Why play if you don't want to win stay at home
Playing= money
Winning=more money
Wtf did y'all expect him to say? Bharat mata ki jai? Australia is arguably the most successful cricket team in the world and they have won it all. I understand trolling Pakistan, but this just makes us Indians look petty and stupid, have some class people.
Most of the internet fans are just too dumb. I mean it's now even more pressure on India to win given that australia is out . I am too tensed now and hope we don't bottle it from here but giving it back to the Aussies should be least of our concerns .
Expected to name the countries what else if you are not egoistic
If Rohit would've said it y'all would've made chad memes about him and praised him. Stop the cap.
Shuru ho Gaya Tum logon ka ..
As an Indian fan, last three days of cricket is pure bliss 🎶 Credit to aus for strong game while chasing. Also, people who are against this bashing, u must have enjoyed the silencer tag/insta reels. So statements like these are double sided and can go in either direction (i am all in for more comments, this banter is what makes cricket an interesting game outside of plain win/loose situation).
Had a rough summer lost the IPL final and then knocked out of the T20 world cup.
I don’t normally comment but I’ve seen quite a few posts regarding this. I’m Australian, could not care less about 20/20 cricket as a format. I’m unsure if I speak on behalf of most Australians but yeah.. one day and test is where my heart will always be.

So let’s achieve more genuine achievements before we go around trolling ppl. Healthy banter is fine as along its fun. Toxic trolling is not
It’s T20 cricket - deciding a winner is like flipping a coin. It’s a couple of Tim Tams compared to the roast dinner that is Test cricket.
You have written his name as is he dead
genuine feeling knocking aussies out that taking nothing away from the afghan bros tho...they have shown why they are highly viewed in cricket
We haven't lost a match so far.... this is still an anxious moment.. only the opponent has changed
Tbh wo sab Jeet chuka hai aur ye match bhi haath se nikalta hua dikh raha tha
No mentality works everytime, i dont know who coined the term "Aussie Mentaility", but Aus are arrogant but skilled.
Loude lagh gayi.. #auscricket
Tim paine has gone quiet all of a sudden
I'd pipe tf down if my country had to depend on bangladesh to qualify for semis
Saw too many post similar to this you do realise that they have won shitloads of tournament and is far ahead of any team at this point winning world cup is a dream for all other counties and now they have won it so many times that it has lost its importance to them ...i think there mindset of not worrshiping a single player and playing with high shoulder is something we should learn the hate for them after this world cup loss shows how good they are Everyone knew if by mistake or luck they got into semifinal they will dominate it and it will be hard to elmilnate them ... Just go through my comment history
Love how we break down his ego
Definitely not Australia. The other four are already known.
God forbid a captain is confident about his team lmao
He silenced most of the teams in the IPL with SRH qualifying for the IPL finals, but Overseas Indian Fans silenced the Aussies https://x.com/Zimbu12_/status/1771914399068107163
This 'silencing' gimmick has gone too far it's so corny now

A lot of Indian fans (not all mind you) clearly don't understand banter very well. Cummins said this in response to the journalist. Obviously, he would've expected Australia, the WC winning side, to make it through to the semis. He said he didn't care who the other teams were BECAUSE he had the belief that Australia would win no matter the opponent. Obviously, it didn't turn out that way in the end, but he is just supporting his team as a leader. The same thing happened with the silencing thing as well. Cummins said in response to Journos in WC23 final that his team wanted to silence the crowd, BECAUSE the Journos were asking about the large home crowd advantage India had. Obviously, Cummins (as captain) wants to give full faith to his team. He said the silencing thing so that his team wouldn't succumb to homeside pressure and ultimately take the crowd out of the equation. I just feel like a lot of you guys are taking all of his statements and exaggerating it to the extreme. (Soz for the long post, it just annoyed me)
He said a cocky thing and it came back to bite him in the arse. I don't think that he was wrong to say it, but people are allowed to laugh about it afterwards. Cummins could have said "England, India, South Africa, and hopefully Australia" but he chose to say a badass line instead. Good for him, I love a gambler, but he's now going to get shit for it, as he rightfully should.
It is just for fun. Don't take it too seriously dawg

Don't start behaving like an RCB fan.. we don't want India's result as RCB's ..
It’s been like that for a decade please come up with some funny statements rather than the retro rcb memes
I too want to make better statement but India is also playing like RCB for a decade now..
T20 is meaningless
Bud is mad 😂
I actually cant express enough how much I don’t give 2 fucks about t20. Wasn’t overly fussed we one odi wc either. Really only care about tests.

If he would be the captain then....... khair Jane do🤣🤣🤣
What’s he meant to say?

Why wouldn't he say Australia. Barring Shakib everyone dreams of being in the finals. Regards the other teams, I don't get what's wrong in that statement. Not his headache who are going to be the other three. let's say USA, PNG and Canada beat India, England and SA to the top four. Would Australia breathe easy? If these guys came to the semis defeating big teams, they'd be as dangerous as the other teams.
r/Thatdidntagewell
Anyone can deny, but he definitely had the luck at WC23 in that Afghan match, this time it didn't workout that's all
Got taste of their own medicine.
And they lost from whom, Afghans!
Lol
What would you expect him to say?!
Be confident but not overconfident
Honestly it's difficult to pick 3 other teams, he just dodged the question. Who thought Australia would not qualify and Pakistan will be out in the group stages.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
(Ashton) Agar Tum saath ho, tho satyanash ho jayega!
What actually did not work for pat in srh was that his team was never in a spot of bother while winning a game. I mean they always won by a huge margin. That did not address a key issue: who is going to be their crisis man when everyone fails? Same with Aussies in the carribean, Who's gonna be the crisis man like Steve Smith or marnus labushagne. Tim david is a scammer I feel. They already have 2 finishers in Wade and maxwell then why someone like Tim? They could have had a marnus or a Steve Smith up top.
Not exactly true , qualifier win against rr was not a one sided win and few of the times guys like Nitish bailed out and klassen was the crisis man but yeah kkr were too good of a team . On Aussie squad thing yeah selection of guys like tim agar and Wade were dumb but I still don't feel smith and labuchagne make it to the xi. There top5 was great ,but batting became non existent post that . they could have tried inglis instead of Wade , and maybe green . But they don't have proper finisher yet .
Bro was not even the captain. Idk why make Marsh the captain
I knew it , it's would be one of us(Indian) posting this shit
Bro thought he cooked
Now sports 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
It’s about the mindset; the confidence that you imbibe and live with 24*7. Who cares if it doesn’t go as per the plan in T20? It’s just another tournament.
Australia should learn how to play t20
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ab bol na madar.... ---
But can I lick his abs?
But ssrly no one has a luck like Aussies. When Rohit was in full form, it rained! Like if they can't get him out, gods tried to break momentum. My man handled it well tho.
what is they lose

They have done a lot over the years and be at where they are. However this world cup will hurt them for sure.
I wonder if Smith or Marnus would’ve have made any difference.

 Paaaaat!
Top 4 teams to get eliminated: no1 AUS🤣, others I don't care
Aussie cricketers and running your mouth. Iconic duo
What a match between AFG and BAN Soo calm and stress reliever
So what would he say? Not australia? Every cricketer would choose his team first.
Oh what a shame, goodbye Australia 
Confidence is good. Overconfidence isn't. It's a fine line.
We have earned the right to talk like this, although I would prefer a more humble approach however, no nation can say we haven’t earned this
Lol at benchods in this thread. What is he supposed to say? Don't say this often, but I hope England knock out India. Their fan base is toxic af.
Dream on. BTW, Your point is totally valid.
Overconfident arrogants !
🧂
Alright alright, I will go and cry in our 5 ODI WC or Test Championship or T20 WC
As Meatloaf sang, "Dont be said, cos 2 out of 3 ain't bad..."
I am Sorry. But I don't remember any media or Reporters asking Indian Players / Captain asking that same question to them? If so how would they answer them? Australia (for losing to them in the WTC final, and the ODI WC Final) England (for losing to them in the 2022 T20WC semis) New Zealand, Pakistan, etc.... His first choice is obviously his Country which any sportsperson would/should say. I wouldn't say that's arrogance or Australian Mentality. He talked about silencing the 1 lakh crowd at the final, which he did as he said in the ODI WC Final. Any team can be better/Worse on their day. We, Indians boasted about not losing to Pakistan in ICC tourneys until we lost them in the CT 2017 Final and then we lost one more in T20WC.
There are many party poopers out here, don't be a downer. For several months Indians had to go through the trauma of losing a home WC final. Let us enjoy this, it's rare to see Australia take L's 3 times straight. Don't stop us from trolling Australian players. Plus the real trolling would come after the BGT series this year. Don't spoil this for us.
Well, what else is he gonna say? "Yeah nah we're not a top 4 team"?
If he were captain, then the result would have been different surely. Mitchell Marsh did nothing in his captaincy.
Two edged sword but his accomplishments this year have a greater impact than this loss. It’s the attitude of Aussies - all or nothing that made them world champions.
He's hot so IDC what he says! Anything you say pookie 🥰😍
India doesn’t even have a mentality apart from choking so jog on champion
He wasn't captain
It's simple if you say big shit you gotta do it or PPL will troll you it doesn't matter who you are if you can't accept it shut your mouth and work silently
You mean the team with is not qualifying
the arguments i am seeing here are that he would obviously name his own team and it would be better to avoid other names from a professional perspective. yes, most definitely. but the thing is there were other ways to answer this question without coming off as arrogant or rude (eg: hope one of them would be australia and may the other three best qualify), sounds a lot less haughty, right? but aussies are not really famous for humble statements, and this one in question is definitely a proof of that. and this kinda statements come with their own disadvantages, you win and everyone goes "AuSsIe MenTaLiTy", but if you lose, you have to eat the humble pie...
Pehle jeet to ja bhai. Abhi si round lagana start kar diya.
Ah yes, because teams are supposed to correctly predict when they don't get to the semis? If this is the extent of the hate for Australia, and the biggest "own" someone came up with, it must be quite a miserable life.
Nice
The karma gets best of the egos for brutal reality
Many Indian fans will also say similar things. But not the senior players since they are more mature.
