It was a low scoring match and both the teams gave their best. The fielding was impeccable and the bowling was spot on. Sri lanka choked in the end. That was all. The West Indians pulled the greatest victory that their country has seen in the last few decades. They showed the world what honesty is, what team spirit is, what compatibility is, what the right attitude is, what the winning formula is and above all, what the right thing to do is.
Marlon Samuels came off brilliantly and scored both with the bat and the ball. Malinga had tears in his eyes when the game was done and dusted, when the world cup was lost, when the hope of winning was gone.
The West Indians proved that attitude and timing are everything that a team needs to pull off a T20 victory.
Oppan Gangnam Style played in the background as the adrenaline pumped Windies received their World T20 cup.
They all broke into the Gangnam dance and all we could do was..Join them, of course!
The birthday boy Dwayne Bravo was over the moon and this has to be the best gift he has ever got for his birthday.
Shane Watson has to be mentioned here. He was announced the man of the tournament for being the highest run scorer and the highest wicket taker in the tournament. He was at his charming best as he collected the trophy for his 249 runs and 11 wickets.
The world T20 2012 concluded with pomp and joy as the West Indies lifted the trophy in style.
After all the predictions, pre-match reviews, post-match reports and analysis as to who will win the tournament, the West Indies have the last laugh!
And in all this, we forgot one important thing. It was Simon Taufel's last match as umpire. He collected his medal with his baby girl on his shoulder. He is one of the best umpires the world has seen and he will be missed.
That is all for this T20 world cup. Keep reading for more analysis and reports on the up coming tournaments and series.

ReplyDeleteSo very proud of you for finally opening this blog. I am glad I pushed you into doing it. Yay me. But I'm telling you- you're the next Harsha Bhogle...I keep imagining you up there, speaking the very words those commentators speak and interviewing the players you idolize so very much!
I can see it already and I'm SOOO sure you'll get there soon enough. One day. And I'll be there too, in the stands, telling all the bystanders that I knew this day would come.
And one day when some journalist interviews me for being this kickass writer (:P) I'll tell them also proudly that you are the awesomestttt. :D :D
You'll go far girl, and I can't wait for you to cover the Champions League T20. Rooting for KKR...too bad RCB didn't make it. :'(
All the best and continue rocking. <3
Always and forever,
Nidheya.
