This is the first year we have had Sky Sport (now with no Murdoch) so I've been able to watch plenty of cricket and it's been a wonderful tournament full of sporting endeavour, colourful and noisy crowds, thrilling action and a breath taking final.
NZ V WI was the best match, Braithwaite falling just short under the lights in Manchester on a tense Saturday night, the Aus V Eng semi coming a close second mainly down to that electric start by the England bowlers.
The drama of the final was a fitting end, it did seem to grab everyone's attention and pushed cricket back into the spotlight from which it has hidden since 2015, made heroes of the participants and hopefully will boost participation, particularly at youth level.
But of course, it wouldn't be Britain without that dark cloud on the horizon. The game will disappear back behind the paywall, the 100 will be forced through despite what we saw yesterday, the sight of second and third generation Asians waving England flags and supporters of all countries standing shoulder to shoulder will become but a memory as the bigots hold sway again and some VAR inspired spoilsport will seek to strip another sport of drama and chaos and the "correct outcome" will trample over that heady mix of skill, bravery, and good fortune that makes us all fall so hopelessly in love with sport.
And as good as yesterday was (and I'm in a distinct minority here I would imagine) I'd give it all back to win the Ashes.
