After Australia completed a remarkable comeback from being humiliated by England in the Super 12s to winning the T20 World Cup, sweeping New Zealand aside in the final with a display that perfectly fused attitude and ability, Aaron Finch insisted that even at their lowest ebb he never saw his side as anything other than champions in waiting.
“I think a few things would have had to go our way to do that but honestly we had such belief in our group that we were good enough, that our team, our squad were the right players and as good as anyone in the world,” the Australia captain said. “Don’t get me wrong, in T20 cricket you need a bit of luck and we won six out of seven tosses which goes a long way, but we also played some really good cricket. This team is pretty special. The camaraderie, the way that everyone really cares for each other and looks after each other, looks out for each other – pretty special.”
