West Indies took on Australia.

And two reasonably comprehensive victories, really.

Sri Lanka beating Pakistan by 16 runs.

Jaya Wardner with 42.

And then West Indies hammering Australia by 74 runs with Chris Gale 75, not out, off 41.

Yeah, it was a spectacular display from Chris Gale, and so...

I'm not sure it was a final necessarily that you thought was a bit of a surprise in the players that are in it.

Maybe you would now with hindsight and looking at the two teams involved.

But then, Finlay, there were so many good players part of those sides.

Indeed, there are today.

But at that point, Sagakara, Jaya Wardner, Matthews, Mendes, it was a brilliant Sri Lanka team, a golden generation.

An amazing final as well, because once we got to the Premadasa for that final, I remember the streets around the ground were heaving hours before the game started.

And indeed, it was two games on that day because there was a women's final as well, where England were beaten by Australia.

A familiar tale.

Charlotte Edwards' side were beaten at the final hurdle by the Australian team who were getting that wonderful golden run of theirs.

through the 2010s.

But in the men's final, Sri Lanka, the home favourites up against West Indies.

And West Indies, after 10 overs, were 32 for 2.

Chris Gale having managed just three runs from 16 balls.

Yeah, and so it was only 137 for six, but those 78 runs from 56 balls were absolutely priceless.
