Let me guess - Australia won on a per capita basis?

I have no idea why India does so poorly per capita.

I would say that Indians don't look particularly athletic as a nation but they did win the world cricket cup.

Does not look appealing at all but still they beat England and South Africa.

They’re also very good at (field) hockey, both men’s and women’s. They dominated it for decades.

However they sort of went downhill after it moved from grass to astroturf, though that “blip” in results seems to be more the aberration than anything…

Hockey is technically their national sport.
