Pakistan was crowned the T20 World Cup Champions. Congratulations. Straight after winning, Younis Khan has anounced his retirement:"This is my last Twenty20 game," he said at the conclusion of his press conference. "I'm old now for this kind of cricket...This final must go to Bob Woolmer," he said. "He was doing good things with us in 2005 and especially my cricket. I would be very proud if he was alive and sitting with me because he's a very nice guy and was a father figure for us. Why I am captain is because in 2005 - at that time I was not a regular player for Pakistan - he was the guy who all the time was chatting with the chairman and the selectors that Younis will be the next captain. So because of him I have became a captain. I dedicate this final to Bob Woolmer."Tillakaratne Dilshan was named Player of the Tournament.

So the T20 World Cup of 2009 is coming to an end. The two teams competing are Sri Lanka and Pakistan. Who are you chearing for? I made my decision quite quickly and easily. There was Pakistan who beat SA with not much effort. Afridi pissing Kallis off. But Pakistan made my boys cry. Then there was Sri Lanka... well Malinga, my boy is in the team so I automaticly favor them. Sorry Pak. I tend to stick with one green team. Then cheer the blue. I know it sounds childish. But if you knew the true story behind it then you will understand.

Predictable? Not much to say about it. It's not such a big deal over in Safferland. We have been through this so many times.
A quick recap:
- Dale & Parny- awesome
- Botha -not his day
- Roelof agitated -did he remember his Ritalin?
- Kallis you suck -me thinks Alfridi likes you
- Missfielding -this is a bad sign
- Smithy lost the toss
- Pak decided to bat (good choice they know our batsmen suck)
- Kallis taking his time
- Gibbs & AB useless
- Duminy.... poor Duminy
- The golden Albie rule????? WTF? Someone should have commited suicide
- Albie out
- Whatever........
Kallis cant watch...Smith has no more nails left

As India is heading back home, I would like to congratulate Graeme Smith on winning a toss. Well done, mate, I knew you'd get it right, one day. Good luck with the next one.
Thus far ,South Africa remains undefeated in the T20 World Cup. All thanks to AB de Villiers with his 63 from 51 balls and Johan Botha's 3 for 16. AB snatched the man of the match award for being the only batsman to get a half century. (The woes of a bowler. The batsman being favored, yet again.) Next time, Botha, next time. If Parnell could get it, then so can you.
Well done to Morne Morkel, who was standing in for an injured Jacques Kallis. This just goes to show that South Africa isn't a one-man-team. We played without Kallis and was still able to bag a win.

They have lost it. Sri Lanka won with 48 runs. What happened, ehere did it all go wrong? They will blame it on their injuries, that's for sure. Brendon McCullum the latest victim is suffering from a fractured finger. So it will be Pakistan, Sri Lanka, South Africa,and West Indies going through to the semi-finals.

Today South Africa will take on India. South Africa has already qualified for the next round so no stress about having to win.
Good news is that Jacques Kallis will not be playing, instead Morne Morkel is in. So the batsmen will move one place up. Great isn't it. This means that guys like Roelof van der Merwe & JP Duminy will get a chance to bat. I sure hope they wont forget the "golden Albie rule". Even though they are in already, South Africa should still play to win. All my money is on Wayne Parnell.
I will enjoy watching the guys playing against their new found friends from the IPL. Dhoni vs Morkel. AB vs Dilshan. JP vs Malinga.

England has fallen prey to the West Indies. This after they ended India's chance of winning the World Cup again. I am so happy.

South Africa has crushed the West Indies. Finally, Parnell got his Man of the Match award. (Kallis sucked big time.) Did you notice Smithy's face when he loss the toss, yet again. (Priceless.) I dont know what happened to Johan Botha, but Roelof van der Merwe is excused for not drinking his meds this morning.

South Africa has won their first Super 8 game against the host team, England. SA won with 7 wickets to spare.Man of the Match went to Jacques Kallis for scoring 57 from 48 balls. The woes of being a bowler. I thought Wayne Parnell was the true star, he got 3 wickets for only 14 runs. Why do they always favor the batsman?
The highlight of the game was Albie Morkel's wicket maiden. Roelof van der Merwe caught out Kevin Pietersen on 19.

Sri Lanka has beaten Australia out of the T20 World Cup. Best news of the day!
As much as I was hoping that South Africa would get a match against Australia, I can't help but be delighted that they have fallen out in just the first round. What an unpredictable T20 World Cup this has become. (Be reminded that South Africa won their warm-up game against Sri Lanka.)
All credit is going to Mendis. It was such a pleasure to watch this young lad perform. He has earned a place in my top players list. Well done. Just to note, he played for KKR. Seems like all the Knights are performing in the WC.
I really dislike Shane Watson. He is a prick. I will start a boncam's most disliked player list, just in honour of him.

What a beginning for the T20 WC. England has lost the opening match against The Netherlands. New Zealand beat Scotland. West Indies beat Australia, delightfully. The only match that went according to predictions was India beating Bangladesh.
Today South Africa will take on Scotland. Am I afraid. No, not really. I am going to stay positive and support my team. Lets show them.
This just goes to show that it is basicly any one's game. You just need a star performance from one player who will win the game for you.
