The organizers should be embarrassed about rolling out that pitch. It favoured the batting way too much - as a consequence, even though Australia was obviously way better than England with both bat (Australia was, of course, 1/288) and ball (they took wickets progressively throughout the English innings), we had the embarrassing spectacle of 8s and 9s being able to belt the ball all over the field, despite an almost complete absence of technique. It diminished the spectacle and cheapened the efforts of all the fine batters out there (on both sides).
Healy is named player of the match and player of the series. POTS is, perhaps, a bit hard on Haynes, who was brilliant throughout the tournament - but, on the other and, Healy hit two 50s along the way, made 509 runs all up and destroyed the opposition in both the semi-final and final, on two quite different wickets and in different cities.
