Shame. Could have been a real shot in the arm for English cricket.

Well, frequency of the tournament notwithstanding, England's success in reaching our first global final since 2004 (stunned to find the CT we lost to the Windies was that long ago, seems like yesterday, tempus fugit and all that) has relegated the FA Cup and World Cup build ups off The Guardian's back page (well, front page of sports pull out, technically).
The arm's had a small shot at any rate.
