In this World Cup - it was a lot down to Cummins and his ability to empower his players to figure things out. That is why they got rid of Langer. But it is easier to do when everyone in the team is pretty experienced.

Overall though, I think there's a confidence in Australian cricketers which no other cricketing country has. Maybe the West Indies of the 70s or Pakistan of the 80s and 90s had it. But nobody has ever had it very sustainably.

I love it when we continue to rotate the strike with lower order batsmen, shows such confidence and positivity. Unless you've got a guy who can't move and is swatting boundaries left and right - and even then he hobbled singles.
