Agreed, and the WTC final could've been played in similar style same as the first ashes series test match between Australia and England. Till the end England fought to win the match and lost it by 2 wickets and 27 balls left. India lost the match very badly. The match went upto the 5th day's 1st session, but they weren't able to make it atleast to the last session of the match. As mentioned the players have begun to give importance to the franchise cricket over the team playing for the country.
WTC final were completely in different scene from The Ashes as English players were playing in counties and have good practice with many Australians were also in same situation with few were coming from IPL, but mostly Indians were coming from IPL with no practice and no time for any game before this final which was surely big problem for them, and they lost this final so poorly.
Now in this first game we have good fight from both sides, and they have done good end with just 2 wickets left in Australian inning, and they achieve their winning target which is good for them, and now they are leading against home side hopefully things could be much better in second match which is going to start after one week.
