The buzz word to describe the end cricket World Cup Final seems to "Farce". It was pretty much that, but surely they can come up with a few different words other than farce. Anyway, the cricket played between the common intervals of farceness was of a high quality. The final against Sri Lanka was the closet game Australia played and even that was a drubbing of 53. Four world cups to Australia, three in a row. Fortunately, they won in 2007 because of the product they were selling on channel nine boasting of the hat trick of wins before it occurred.

Jason "Dizzy" Gillespie retains a Cricket Australia contract, which is a bit odd. He's an absolute superstar but hasn't played international cricket since that quality double century against Bangladesh. I suspect he only recieved one due to his choice words he had to say about Cricket Australia and the selectors.

Carlton's win against Essendon a couple of weeks ago was good too.
