No, I have not joined the England soccer patriots! It is just that they played such wonderful cricket over the last two weeks that before you could sing the title, the opponents were blown away. In reality, the only tough game they had was against the Windies. 60 off 6, in retrospect especially after that Hussey Hurricane, is a walk in the park, these days.
Having said that, KP has proved to be a one in a million, what with the new family arrival and all that.
Yes, you can find fault with Collingwood persisting with Yardy for that one additional over or Kieswetter's(what a name!) ugly swipe at Johnson when he wanted to go home in a hurry... but in a first world level victory over the last 35 years, there is no one to blame.
It was funny that Michael Clarke came in at No.3; I almost thought that he was having an alphabetical lineup but then Watson and Warner do not precede Clarke, right? Anyways, Clarke himself has accepted that he is no good in T20. Wish other super stars are hearing that.
Collingwood led from the front and that superb split-second timing catch to dismiss his counterpart was pure magic :-))
Enjoy, dear Pommies! It was a well deserved victory and the English bull-dog spirit was in exhibition aplenty.
That brings us to the end of WCT20 - BQ series.
Oh, forgot!
The answer to the last question is.... wait a minute. I seem to have inadvertently given the answers in the write-up above. Find them out!
Siva*, Rambo and Ganesh Kumar got all five of them correct. There were a few 4.5s and a 4 as well.
Overall, Siva* got all right in this edition - 11 points. Congratulations.
Anand Re and Ishan are the runners up with 9.5 points.
All three of them get a prize.

Thanks for keeping me on the toes. Off to some rest.
