This one was certainly the most predictable. Not a single shock for me. Even the way the final unfolded was predictable.

I went for 2007. Nothing stands out from that tournament, and we had one team who were way above the rest. The final in the dark didn't help.

India and Pakistan got knocked out in the group stage. And how can you forget Leverock's catch...

Yes 2007 had interest down the card, though the winners were no surprise. I went 1979. Symbolised by BOYCOTT AND bREARLEY OPENING FOR eNLAND. At least it didn't last six weeks though.
I always say that everybody's right.

2015 for me. Just too much dominance with the bat for me. I know there were some games where the bowlers were on top but with big bats, no reverse swing ande the fielding restrictions the game is too batsman friendly.

Was that a hint for a Kenneth William picture?
