Excellent pitch again, right?
Allianz European Championship - A thrilling finale goes to the very last ball

Yeah, Lord's is usually pretty flat

Test Cricket is Best Cricket
Interesting statistics:
- Despite only containing one ICC Full Member nation so far, no less than 20 of the 26 teams who have so far competed in the Nagico and Allianz Championships have included players with Test experience. The only ones not to are: Bermuda, Canada, Netherlands, Scotland, St Maarten, St Vincent. None of those six teams has won a knock-out match.
- An England win in the final would move England to #3 in the (incomplete) World Rankings, and Italy to #4. An Italian win would move Italy to #2, and England to #5. A tie would put Italy at #3 and England at #5. Only an Italian win can stop Scotland moving to #2 on their own.
- If Italy win the final, it is possible that both they and Trinidad will have won their regional championship despite no batsman scoring a 100 or bowler taking a five-wicket haul.
- England go into the final with the highest run-scorer (Joe Root, 271) and wicket-taker (Harry Gurney, 13). Italy, however, can claim the best batting average (Brendon Diamanti, 157.00) and bowling average (Dinidu Marage, 11.00).

Un-freaking believable! Vettori and Diamanti are absolute legends. 53 off the last 3, that too in cricsim. WOW! 
Can't forget Hughes' contribution. He's the one that put us in a position where we could go on an all out attack in the final overs.
There's no way we should let this freakish performance go to waste. Time for our bowlers to step up and knock out 'em Poms.

Shit. This has become very close indeed. That run out was exactly what we needed. Hope the sim hands the damn ball to Pepler.

ITALY STARTED THINGS BY MAKING A MAD DASH TO 286
ENGLAND CHASED POSITIVELY, BUT STUMBLED, AND NEED 10 TO WIN.
10 RUNS. 6 BALLS. 2 WICKETS.
PEPLER SANDRI TO BOWL...
Code:
49.1 P Sandri to Tredwell, one run, That is very well run by Ravi Patel
A nice cover-drive, but only as far as the infield.
Code:
49.2 P Sandri to Patel, two runs, Overthrow by Vettori instead of 1 they get 2
After such a great game, Vettori dropped a clanger in the field.
Code:
49.3 P Sandri to Patel, one run, Great cooperation between Ravi Patel and James Tredwell
Mark Pettini's best efforts couldn't stop England sneaking another run. Six off three.
Code:
49.4 P Sandri to Tredwell, no run, Appeal for LBW, a bit too optimistic though
Tredwell tried to get it down to fine-leg, but just got in a tangle.
Code:
49.5 P Sandri to Tredwell, no run, A lot of movement being extracted by P Sandri
He tried another cover-drive, but was completely done by the cutter.
One ball left. Six runs needed. Can James Tredwell be a hero after a horrific innings?
Code:
49.6 P Sandri to Tredwell, no run, A massive slog doesn't get anywhere near the ball.
And that's it! A thrilling last-ball finish means that Italy are the Allianz European Champions!
Congratulations to them, congratulations to @VC the slogger, and commiserations to @EARAgAV.
Both of these sides, along with Denmark, Germany, Northern Ireland and Scotland have qualified for the World Cup.

Amazing stuff from Italy! We may have the likes of Vettori, Hughes, Di Venuto in our lineup, but to stay unbeaten throughout a tournament featuring stronger sides on paper is a very special effort.
Gotta feel bad for England as they can't win 50-over big tournament finals against any team, not even Italy. Well, so long until we meet again inhell the World Cup.

What, Rep of Ireland couldn't make it? Wow..
They haven't failed yet. After the Asian competition, there'll be a final qualifier to decide the last four places.
In fairness, they really should have qualified.

The index has now been updated for the last time. Thanks to @joejoe018 @El Loco @EARAgAV @Prathik84 @VC the slogger @Neer. @sathishsky @Mr Nokkaya @Aggz and @toby123 for helping to make this an enjoyable season.
Hopefully you'll be able to reprise your teams in the World Cup a little later on, and in the next European Championship if (and hopefully when) I manage to get them going - and hopefully you might even have discovered a new favourite player from an obscure European nation.
