“It's a lot better than seeing the World Cup on the couch at home,” said Travis Head as a smile crept across his face.
The 29-year-old's remarkable return from a broken hand that nearly ruled him out of the tournament was capped by him joining Adam Gilchrist and fellow legend Ricky Ponting as Australians to have made tons in deciding matches of the pinnacle men's ODI event.
