Sri Lanka are no longer the force they once used to be in World Cricket. The 1996 World Champions are a shadow of the side that won the title, or even the one that reached back-to-back finals in 2007 and 2011.

Whatmore broke down Australia's strengths and weaknesses in a discussion with Sports Editor Digvijay Singh Deo on Wion World of Cricket.

<h2><strong>Details of the heist</strong></h2>

<p>Resembling a scene from a Bollywood movie, the thieves gained entry to the showroom via the rooftop of the four-storey building.</p>
