I was getting ready to watch the cricket.
Well done England, world 20-20 champions. |
Congratulations to the Poms on the win. Always good to see the Aussies NOT win something in cricket.
Not to detract from the win, but 20/20 almost seems like being the world champ at mini-golf. OK not quite that low that's more comparable to indoor cricket or beach cricket world champs, but still it's barely recognisable as cricket IMO. But it's here and it makes cricket a lot of money, so it's gotta be good for the sport right? 
However, 20/20 is such a lottery of a game even when there is a talent gap between teams. I think basing a world championship final on a single game is a bad call. Make it a best of 3 and then you'd have a better chance of the most talented team winning.
Unfortunately our girls couldn't stop the Aussie girls from winning the womens 20/20 world cup. But they did better that the our lads.
Oh, hang on a minute this is a console sales thread. I better say something OT. Urrrrrrrrrr PS3 nearly at 31% market share for the year, that's doing rather well, and it's taking market share from both 360 and Wii.
15 million not possible without a price cut. PS3 won't be 2 million ahead of 2009 come the end of August and without a price cut it's not going to have as good a Sept-March as 2009/10. Especially given a 360 price cut is all but certain and Wii price cut is a possibility.
@ kowenicki: too bad you couldn't keep up with the contributor role, I liked reading your stuff.
