At last, this the match we've been waiting for.
Not because it is the final of a world cup.
Not because it is England versus Australia and has some (but no) semblance to the Ashes.
Okay, it is for those reasons and more, but for me, it is because it's the last high-profile T20 match for a while. The next test match (WI v RSA) begins on June 10th, and I will be watching. You know, except when Kallis and Chanderpaul are batting or when Harris is bowling.
So here's hoping that today's final lives up to the billing. Maybe we'll see something special, like the Aussie Men and Aussie Women play each others' match to see if they can win by as high a margin.
I may be a neutral, but that's no way to enjoy, so I'll be rooting for England, the underdogs. Which means I think Australia should wrap up their World Cup collection.
I will be getting my commentary from Test Match Sofa, and there's a live chat at The Baggy Green, if you want to be in a room full of Aussie supporters.
Hmm, yeah, that's it.
