There is no euphemism to describe such a comprehensive victory as Australia achieved at Lord's on Sunday when their utter professionalism annihilated Pakistan: hard, tough and uncompromising.
To some they are the unsmiling giants, the true World Cup champions, making up for what they failed to accomplish in Lahore three years and four months ago; a time of torment turned around after their humiliation by Sri Lanka, the smiling, happy-go-lucky pygmies of the Test arena who rode their luck and good fortune.
It was a lesson from which Steve Waugh learnt much; the Australian psyche, noted for a mental toughness and outward exterior which was not prepared to yield a fraction of a centimetre. Not on the field in a World Cup final.
Waugh's policy of 'take no prisoners' may be a cliche to some yet it is as older than the tape on a W G Grace bat in the Memorial Museum.
In the Don Bradman era after World War 2 England long felt retribution for The Oval Test of 1938; ray Lindawall and Keith Miller were the agents of destruction while The Don and other members of the 1946/47 and 1948 teams demolished whatever bowling attack England could.
On Sunday, Waugh went for what is commonly known as 'the jugular' and Pakistan's hopes haemorrhaged so badly the body was not in a fit state to be revived. Had Hansie Cronje, the South African captain, applied similar tactics at Edgbaston on Thursday he might now be hailed as the leader of the new World Cup champions.
At Edgbaston, if you recall, Australia were a little shaky at the knees in their semi-final against South Africa. At 68 for four Australia were feeling the prickly pinch of apprehension when Waugh joined by Michael Bevan: another wicket at that stage would have just about buried a second World Cup final appearance at Lord's.
Instead of deviating from the script and bringing back Allan Donald and Shaun Pollock for a couple of overs apiece Cronje declined to read between the lines. He continued with the game plan instead of dealing in an exercise of innovation.
In Waugh's eyes there is no room for compromise on the field. He expressed this more than once during the five weeks.
'We're not here to win friends mate,' he growled at the press conference after beating the West Indies in that controversial match at Old Trafford at the end of May.
'Out job is, if we can, to win the World Cup. I am not bothered by anything else at this moment. If this tactic helps us do that (win the Worlds Cup), I am satisfied we have done the right thing..'
Waugh also had a cryptic answer ready for any question asked at the media conference. At Lord's on Sunday we had some interesting inquiries.
One came from a West Indian journalist who tried to probe beneath the hard-nosed Waugh exterior in a bid to get a view of the rugged consciousness with a polite question, the expurgated version of which is related here. Could Mr Waugh (if you please) assure the rest of the world there would now be a moratorium on such matters as sledging, bullying of opponents and general ruthlessness for which they were so well-known.
'No,' said the Australian captain in a typical unbending manner. If you think that successfully disposed of the questioner, smile a while. Would then Mr Waugh ask his players to tone down their attitude if not behaviour?
There was a shake of the head. He had already replied to the question: it was time to move on.
Why bother to answer when Australia had been as ruthless as they were going to be; tough playing field bullies who had mentally sledged Pakistan into submission. Perhaps man of the final, Shane Warne, should have answered for his captain. But 'Hollywood' preferred his skipper to turn the torture wheel a few more times to make sure words such as 'strangled the opposition' gained extra emphasis.
It was indeed the occasion for the tough Australian to stand up: the miracle workers of Edgbaston, where scraping through to the final required a Houdini survival kit which needed careful reading of the instructions. Such is the precarious lottery of the one-day game.
They had barely survived the first round and when they were finding their form in the Super Sixes there was always the impression they would fall, as had England, the West Indies, Sri Lanka , India and more cruelly South Africa.
At Lord's on Sunday it was the sharp fielding and the remarkable catching which opened old wounds in the Pakistan side and produced one of the more remarkable sights in a final: Inzamam-ul-Huq's forlorn figure slowly trudging off to the pavilion. His cherubic features creased with disbelief and agony, the batsman felt he had been betrayed.
So had the supporters inside and outside the ground as well as Pakistan and other far flung pavilions across the face of the map.
Yet the Pakistan supporter, as with any from the Asian sub-continent, carries the passion others do not normally display. Collectively they provided many of the more satisfying sights and sounds of the tournament. They celebrated success and cheered their heroes through their tears when they lost. They were brave if exuberant; they were optimistic and paraded their enthusiasm with an openness which, if at times was too much for officialdom to handle, brought a new dimension to the game.
Sri Lankans, as is largely their gentle nature, may be more conservative than the Indians, but you know both are there; Pakistan and Bangladesh supporters are perhaps more assertive when expressing their feelings, aggressive too as can be their culture.
It is what turned World Cup '99 into the tournament it became and with it gave the game a new identity. It is no longer the game exported 200 or more years ago to the former nations of the British empire or Raj. It has become the sport binding millions: whether across Asia, Africa, Australia and New Zealand, the West Indies or new territories. Hopefully the cultural forces felt in England will be further developed in 2003 when, barely into the new millennium, the next event is held in South Africa.

Dates: 9 June 1983 to 25 June 1983
Teams: England, Australia, New Zealand, West Indies, India, Pakistan, Srilanka and Zimbabwe
The third World Cup, the last to be sponsored by the Prudential Assurance Company, began with two fine surprises, when India beat West Indies and Zimbabwe beat Australia in the opening round of matches, and ended with the greatest surprise of all, when India beat West Indies again, this time in the final at Lord’s. None of the eight sides had to make do without a victory.
The competition differed from its two predecessors in that in the preliminary groups the sides played each other not once but twice. This was partly to increase revenue but also to lessen the chances of a side being eliminated through having greater misfortune with the weather than its rivals. In the event, no sooner had the sides started to arrive in England for the 1983 World Cup than the rain, which had made the month of May one of the wettest on record, cleared away.
Of the 27 matches played, only three were not begun and finished in a day. Many were played in warm sunshine, and throughout the competition, from June 9–25, interest ran high. After losing their opening match, West Indies carried all before them until failing, for the first time, to win the final. Australia had a disappointing fortnight, and with Imran Khan unfit to bowl for them, Pakistan were a shadow of the side which had trounced India and Australia in the previous winter.
New Zealand’s main batting provided them with insufficient runs for a consistent challenge, while Sri Lanka, though they won their return match against New Zealand, were too short of bowling to be a serious threat. Zimbabwe, playing for the first time, having qualified as winners of the ICC Trophy in 1982, made a welcome contribution. Their side included several players with first-class experience, acquired when, as Rhodesia, their country played in the Currie Cup. Apart from beating Australia they gave West Indies a run for their money at Worcester.
India’s unexpected success (they were quoted at 66 to 1 before the competition began) came under a young and relatively new captain (Kapil Dev) and owed much to the presence in their side of three all-rounders (Kapil Dev, Roger Binny and Mohinder Amarnath) who, at critical moments, found enough in the conditions to help form an effective attack. Who would ever have thought before a ball was bowled that the leading wicket-takers in the competition would be the Sri Lankan De Mel and Binny, with his gentle medium-pace?
Each side received 60 overs. No bowler was allowed more than twelve overs per innings and, to prevent negative bowling, the umpires applied a stricter interpretation than in first-class cricket in regard to wides and bumpers.
The total amount of the Prudential Assurance Company’s sponsorship was £500,000, and the gate receipts came to £1,195,712. The aggregate attendance was 232,081, compared with 160,000 in 1975 and 132,000 in 1979. The surplus, distributed to full and associate members of the International Cricket Conference, was in excess of £1,000,000, this being over and above the prior payments of £53,900 to each of the seven full members and one of £30,200 to Zimbabwe.
In addition to the Trophy and silver-gilt medals for each player, India received £20,000 for their victory. As runners-up West Indies won £8,000. The losing semi-finalists, England and Pakistan, each won £4,000. There were also awards of £1,000 to the group winners, plus Man of the Match awards (£200 for the group matches, £400 for the semi-finals and £600 for the final).
At their meeting which followed the World Cup, the ICC asked for tenders, to be submitted by the end of 1983, from countries wishing to stage the competition when next it is held.
