I don’t imagine there was a neutral fan anywhere in the world who wasn’t rooting for the West Indies yesterday, their T20 World Cup final against England going right down to the wire.

Spare a thought for Ben Stokes (Ben Chokes, Ben Not Stoked, take your pick), the poor bowler carted for four successive sixes. I guess that’s a little taste of his own medicine for that beatdown he gave our bowlers at Newlands back in January.
The Windies really do celebrate like no other – some of the changing room vibe after the win:
Looks like Usain Bolt was pretty pleased too – check his jig below:
Well played gents, and maybe a little reminder to our Proteas about how to hold your nerve when it comes to crunch time.
