One of the things that makes the Australian cricket team so great is that when they make a mistake they make sure to make good on it as soon as possible. Having been narrowly beaten by West Indies in the group stages of the Champions’ Trophy, they made sure that they got their revenge in the final, winning by an emphatic 8 wickets. Guess which humiliation they intend to make good on next.

Still, while the final may have been a damp squib, much of the tournament was entertaining. It also sets the stage nicely for next year’s World Cup. That takes place in the Caribbean. I keep hoping that someone will broadcast it in the US, it being at the right time of day, but somehow I doubt it will happen.
