India's deep batting - Pandya and Jadeja versus Jansen and Maharaj at seven and eight - were an important buttress for their top order. Both teams fielded astoundingly, SKY's catch being only one example - I dare say that de Kock's run out of Axar Patel will be forgotten but it was outstanding. A lesson for Australia. In a low scoring tournament, those intercessions count.
History repeats with SA inventing ways to not get across the line. Hard not to feel for them collectively and individually. Hard in a different way to enjoy the super power of India, albeit with a magnificent bunch of individuals, take the chocolates. Good on them but somehow anticlimactic I felt.

Attendance struck me as poor - even at small venues. What do you think accounted for that?
It would have been better if you could have talked about few players across countries that we have seen for the last time 🙏🏻
Yup, it was Saeed Ajmal
Mike Hussey v Saqlain Mushtaq? I think it was Saeed Ajmal that you wanted to refer to.
That's what happens when you write pieces on planes. Thanks for the correction.
