The ICC T-20--Enlgand the New Winner

As Nadal won against Federer, the England Cricket team won their first ever ICC Cricket event. As the inventors or creators of the game, they never won the World Event but this time they were unstoppable and ruthless.

They had lost their previous World Cup finals in 1979, 1987 and 1992 as well as the 2004 Champions Trophy climax, but easily overcame their oldest foe with three overs to spare.

Collingwood, the captain, said that England deserved all the plaudits that are sure to come their way. “This is a very special moment,” he said. “We turned it on for the big occasion. Not having a World Cup was a monkey on our back and nobody can ever take away what we have achieved.

England have little time to rest before the start of a two-Test series against Bangladesh on Thursday week. The ECB will also hope that success in the Caribbean has a knock-on effect in generating interest in the revamped domestic Twenty20, which is due to begin on June 1.


Cheers England!!!!

You Deserved it.
