CHAMPIONS TROPHY FINAL - West Indies vs. Australia at Mumbai!!!
Well, this is it!! 2 of the best and most deserving teams finally meet again in the final of this fantastic tournament. This after having faced off each other in group stages. The group stage match in which Jerome Taylor had a hat-trick was a classic one, but will lightening strike twice?
Using laws of statistics and basic cool-head logic, Australia are clear favorites to win. But my heart tells me, West Indies should win. I sure hope so. I would be thouroughly disappointed if Australia end up lifting another trophy again. The balance of power in world cricket must be evened out, and it would be a disaster if only a single team kept dominating for long periods.
========================================
Unrelated general tournament note:
My vote for the most disappointing team in this tournament is an even tie between Sri Lanka, Pakistan and India. Actually at one point I had picked Sri Lanka to be the favorites to win the whole thing.
