It started off as a cracking match but whilst it maintained tension on the scoreboard the quality of play dropped and it became scrappy and slow. I did not share many people’s view of the semi-finals of the semi-finals which despite the fact that the outcomes became clear quite early on did include some great passages of play and some great individual performances. Young Mackenzie was outstanding against Lechuza just ask Miguel Novillo. The chukka where the 4 “10@s” each scored a length of the ground goal of immense skill in the Dubai/La Bamba game was unbelievable. I do not thin that anything we saw in the final matched that and Cambiaso got it done. I did not stay for the Press Conference but I do hope someone asked him what went through his head when they went a goal down in the last chukka. If they did the answer was that he was not worried and that he felt he would just have to score two! Which he did the first finding a seem that no one else would have found through the massed ranks in front of him that were trying to block his progress and the second straight from the subsequent lineout. The only slight worry if I was backing Dubai to do the double is that he was on two borrowed ponies in that chukka (one of which won champion pony) and that neither are available in the Gold Cup as their owners are playing it as well.
