Win or lose from here, the ICC has a duty to give the Windies (and other nations) more Test cricket. Still easily the best and most thrilling format

Facts: It was Australia's day in final, they won, they are World Cup winners. More facts: India comprehensively won 10 games, they lost 11th, they had the best bowlers and batters. They were the tournament's best team. Both facts, on paper and on field. Relax Australia.
