Freeze Frames

In an era of crowded schedules and uncompetitive blue-riband events, here was an eye-opener - two weeks of the best fun imaginable, served up in thrillingly digestible portions, in front of packed crowds and rapt TV audiences. Soberingly, if this was the 50-over World Cup, the public would have long since tuned out, and we’d still have five weeks and 20 matches to go.

Andrew Miller makes a good point: the T20 World Cup was way better conceived and organized than its 50-over sibling. Elsewhere, Cricinfo does its usual good job of distilling the stats of the tournament, while Nishi Narayanan rounds up the memorable moments.

Granting the thrills the tournament brought, I found just one moment worthy of post-mortem mention; the one moment in this tournament that will enter cricket lore. This one.
