And finally we know who the world cricket champions are- India; and thoroughly deserved too.
It may not have been a fairy tale ending for Tendulkar after he missed out on his 100th 100, but India chased a huge Sri Lankan total of 274-6 and in the end did so relatively easily, after their captain, Dhoni scored the winning runs with a massive straight six. He's had some stick this tournament but silenced his critics with a blistering 91 no in 79 balls.
I really no had no personal preference to who won as we spent two most enjoyable months touring through countries. Each is cricket mad but in the end, as ever, there can be only one (TM Highlander) and this time it's the turn of the Indians again.
No losers here, the sport and the fans won, and long may that continue.
