Huge England cricket fan that I am, I just spent a nail-biting couple of hours glued to the world cup final, but now that it’s over I have to say it’s great to see English cricket back on form. To tell the truth I didn’t watch much of this year’s world cup due to it being in Australia and the time overlaps that causes, but I just had to make an effort for the final. It definitely helped my breakfast digest. Mind you, the match really came down to the last few balls, and I’m sure Serkan had no idea what I was getting so excited about as I started to shout frantically at my screen. Now that it’s over, though, cricket fans all over the country are probably breathing a huge collective sigh of relief. Alongside their triumph in the fifty-over game, it now looks like English cricket really is going through a peak. It feels like an age since an English national team in any sport won anything so big; of course, England being England, whether we can keep it up remains to be seen.

Well Done England!
