Thank you England!

England beat Australia in the 2nd final to win the Commonwealth Bank series!

Yes!

What an incredible victory! It's hard to express my joy. My depression over Pakistan's thrashing yesterday at the hands of the South Africans, has been pretty much appeased by England ending their tour on a high note.

As my readers can probably gauge, I support Pakistan most of the time, but I also support any team battling Australia. I admit having a lot of respect for Australian cricketers and their aggressive and clinical style of cricket, but their domination is boring, their arrogance is irritating, and seeing them lose on their own soil is pleasing as hell. We all love the underdog, and after a dismal series, England have really pulled this victory out of a hat. After a terrible hiding in the Ashes, its great to see England return home with their heads held high.

This also spells great news for the rest of the cricketing nations. Australia have been beaten convincingly, very soon before the World Cup, and that too in a format in which they are expected to dominate. They're probably still going to be the favorites to lift the cup, but I bet they're not going to be as cocky as before.

Anyway....Brilliantly done!
