the culmination of every young cricketer’s dream: the champion’s trophy

The champion’s trophy final lived up to its hype.

No thinking women’s crumpet Daniel Vettori.

Treacle top order batting from both sides.

Drum tight seam bowling from both sides.

Shane Bond threatened to go all 03 on their ass.

Professional partnerships when time was tough.

Shane Watson won the day.

7 people in the crowd.

Prince Brendon lead from the front.

Manic Monday was overlooked by the DJ.

Peter Siddle almost threw up.

Simon Doull lost his hearing, then found it.

Australia was given ill fitting white real estate jackets.

New Zealand had been brave in defeat (cut paste).

Oh the champion’s trophy, the very meaning of the word whogivesafuck.

I know I have mocked this champion’s trophy, and for that I do apologise.

Clearly the best two teams in ODI world cricket have made it through this tough audition process to fight for the white jackets.

Even if they are missing one or two players each. Jesse, Bracken, Haddin, Oram, and Clarke.

They still won the games that mattered and made the final.

Very exciting.

I obviously don’t like this tournament much, but do the ICC?

If they really believed in the tournament wouldn’t they have scheduled the final on the weekend?

Come on.

What a stupid fucking day to have a final.

In most cultures Monday is a workday, and being that the average person will not take a day off for a tournament that no one cares about.

So how many people will be watching when the game starts.

It will be the middle of the night in the two countries that are playing the match.

England will be at work, and wont care.

Indian cricket fans will look for the result, but none of them are going to care too much, even if Australia lose.

The rest of the cricket community won’t care either.

So who will be watching, a bunch of die hards from either country, some people will spare time on their hands, and people channel surfing between ads of two and a half men repeats.

Oh what a final it shall be.
