Drama, bit of controversy and outstanding entertainment.

Congratulations to both teams for providing such a thrilling and hard fought final.

I know I should feel elated but it’s more a feeling of relief and that every get out of jail free ( no pun regarding Stokes intended) card has been played.

More importantly the match entices people back into this grand old game as it is dying on its feet in many places. Maya be the decision to make it free to air and the nature of the result will kindle some more interest.
