West Indies beat England in T20 final

[Moedogg]

Anyone watch the thrilling T20 final? Needing 19 with 6 wickets down Carlos Braithwaite smashed 4 sixes in the final over to win in it for the windies. Happy for them to see some success, their Board is worse than Parras.

Ben Stokes who bowled the final over is being called Ben Chokes .

The success for the Windies in the 20/20 is a double edged sword - whilst its great they won a title, it will only push their cricketers towards that format and away from tests, and even one dayers.

Congrats must also go to the Southern Stars, who went so close.

Test match cricket is dead, soon the T20 world cup will probably be bigger than the one day world cup imo.

Whilst one day cricket does seem to be getting squeezed out - test cricket is far from dead. But some there will emerge 2 tiers of test cricket, with only South Africa, India, Australia and England really making money out of it.
