Australia's professionalism wins them Champions Trophy

By John Cheeran
No, not yet.
The West Indies have not yet reached their tipping point.
Australia beat the Caribbean challenge by eight wickets to clinch the ICC Champions Trophy in Mumbai on Sunday.
I should point out that Brian Lara could do little once they could post only 139 on board.
To make matters worse, the Duckworth/Lewis rule was applied as rain intervened, and that made the final a no contest.
It was a victory for Australia's greater professionalism in the end.
Even after losing Adam Gilchrist and skipper Ricky Ponting very early during their chase, Aussies did not lose their heads faced with a small target, often an invitation to disaster.
Shane Watson and Damien Martyn went about their reworked target in a composed manner since only a thunder storm could have stopped them from winning.
And to think about those first five overs of this final!
When Shivnariane Chaderpaul and Chris Gayle cracked shots from both end of the wicket, Ponting almost lost his balance. Brett Lee was murdered by Chanderpaul and Gayle treated Glenn McGrath with contempt. In five overs West Indies had scored 49.
What a turn around then when Nathan Bracken bowled Chanderpaul. Aussies regrouped and suddenly the whole game changed.
Gayle went, Lara went and it was too little on the board.
