Well, Pakistan knock the runs off with an over and a bit to spare.

It's about time Shahid Afridi turned his potential ability into something, and he's definitely turned it on for the semi and the final, when it really matters I guess.

Fairly entertaining tournament all in all.

or did Pakistan just remember their instructions from the bookies?

Strange how they could look quite that bad against England then go on to win the whole thing - if you're of a suspicious nature, that is...

Had England won it would hardly have been a "pointless, tinpot trophy". As they are out of it and were rubbish throughout then........

Actually, it would have been. Much in the same way that I couldn't give a flying one about Lancashire winning the domestic competition or not.

Twenty20 is OK for a quick blast of entertainment, but it certainly is not cricket, it's not important and people shouldn't forget it's place compared to First Class cricket.

To be fair mate, GT's opinions on this competition (and the domestic version) have been clear from the start.

I'm glad someone's been paying attention.

F*cking hell, you'd think Broad was the only fielder to ever miss run-outs and drop catches. How many run-out attempts do actually hit the stumps?!

One loss in a pointless, tin-pot trophy and everyone spits their dummy out. Who says Twenty20 brings out the worst of the 'cricketing' world?

Broad should have never played for England again after that.
