Is the only question that comes to mind when we look back at the finals of the T20 world cup. Collingwood must have burned a lot of midnight wood to motivate and carve his team into deserving champions.
Right from the go of the tournament the English team looked and behaved like clones of Kevin Peterson, Fintoff and Collingwood, all pumped up, excited, focused and take no shit from no one policy. To take on the mighty Kangaroos proved too tough for all the teams, all hopeful in the beginning and returning in a hopeless situation from the ground after the match was over.
Australia practically molested the talent out of every team they faced, but when it came to England, the Aussies weren't able to team bang the victory out of them.
England came prepared, all stone faced, cool attitude and with a chastity belt on every player which prevented the Aussie players from doing any hanky panky with the English playboys. The Australian wild horses pace attack was finally tamed by the not so Wild West English team. Not only did they tame it, but rode the ego out of those wild horses in their victory lap.
The England attack led by Kevin Peterson and Kieswetter proved to be more than a nuisance to contain and finally Australia surrendered their unholy urges to repeat the nasty with England that they did with every team they faced during the tournament. Here I feel I should say something nice about Kieswetter, but what can I do, his name is just too damn inviting insult, ridicule and pun funny. It sounds like a kinky fetish involving keys, locks and a whole lot of nasty and naughty. He must have had a very tough and tormenting childhood and his school and college days worst when compared with any nightmare in the world.
In all the years of Cricket, never have i seen faces glowing with pride and smug, like the way the faces of the T20 Champions were.A truly deserving feast for the eyes is when you see a working hard and working intelligent, deserving to win team actually win. The one and only logical question which comes to mind now is was the English Team celebrating their victory in the T20 Tournament or were they instinctively celebrating their win in the 2011 World cup as the world champions? We'll have to wait and watch for this eye candy.
Now since the English team is finally Out of it's Misery and Proud, who will put them back in the closet and close the flood doors opened by them? I sincerely hope NO ONE.
