"We are the world, we are champions," sang the Australians as they gave Captain Michael Clarke a memorable send off after inflicting a seven-wicket defeat on the Blackcaps to win the 2015 World Cup watched by a record crowd of 93,000 at the Melbourne Cricket Ground yesterday.
In reply to the Blackcaps score of 183 in 45 overs, the Australian batsmen led by Michael Clarke 74 in 72 balls with 10 fours and a six and Steve Smith unbeaten with 56 in 71 balls with three fours had a walk in the park making 186 for 3 in 33.1 overs.
When Clarke playing his final one-day game walked out to bat after the dismissal of David Warner for 45 in 46 with 7 fours, he was given a standing ovation by the full house.
