What a relief to reach the final! The last half hour of our semi-final on Friday was my most nerve-wracking on the cricket field. I don’t think me and my teammates have too many nails left on our fingers today.

Big teams and early title favourites India and South Africa have fallen by the wayside. It is quite natural that a lot of talk is now focussed on the reasons for their debacle.

Pace has been our primary weapon for success in the World T20 Championships here so far. The trio of Dirk Nannes, Shaun Tait and Mitchell Johnson have enjoyed the ball going through to the wicketkeeper head high at the Kensington Oval in Barbados.
