hi sage ! thanks

[Misery Called Life]

England owned the T20 WC this time round. And boy were they comprehensive right from match one. Unlike past winners Ind and Pak who despite showing poor form in the early stages went on to win.
With KP in outstanding form, Kieswetter riding on unbelievable luck, and the seamers doing a darn good job day in and day out, England look like a force to reckon with. That said I still feel that if Englans have to continue their winning spree, their batting will have to man up. KP won't perform everyday and Kieswetter won't always be so lucky. But who knows, when Stuart Broad comes in at number 9, you kinda know that this side can bat.
That said this tourney was won for England by their bowlers, who chocked the opposition batsmen every-time they bowled. Kudos!
