2020 cricket is a war zone.
Black hawks go down.
Bridges are river kwaied.
Hand to hand combat is what wins the day.
The rose bowl was covered in blood.
When the debris had cleared, the blood dried and the fallen had departed, one man stood resplendent on the pitch.
Covered in the blood of fallen adversaries and grunting like a wild boar, the man simply cleaned his bayonet and got ready for another battle.
His name, Dirty Dirk Nannes.
Some may say that others had more of an impact on the result, but Dirty Dirk is the result.
He held sway by taking a crucial wicket of some dude I have never heard of and thusly gained the silverware for Middlesex.
In 6 months this 2020 warrior has won two of the three biggest 2020 competitions on earth.
Had he played in the IPL, he would have won there too, on his own if he had to.
A 2020 bowling average of 15, and an economy rate of under 7 means this man is 2020 cricket.
Robert Key trotted back to King Cricket to like his wounds as Dirty Dirk bathed in the glory of being a champion, again.
And for those keeping score.
The big bash in Australia, won by Victoria.
The IPL in India, won by Shane Warne.
The twenty20 cup final won by Dirty Dirk.
Some people may sense a pattern here.
