For me, off the top of my head it had:
- Very low scoring games
- Dew factor and conditions that threw a spanner in the works, making many games unpredictable
- In fact many of the games were unpredictable and exciting
- WI doing well
- That ball from Bracken to Gayle
- Watto!
- Hilarious podium pushing controversy leading to animal painting
Enough rambling, very fun tournament for mine that doesn't get mentioned enough.

- Watson's dismissal of Flintoff after hitting him in the grill with a bouncer. Never cheered an Aussie getting out and Englishman before an never since.
