    Think that will be the end of Morgan as well. Certainly as captain, maybe even as a player for England. Certainly time for someone else to lead the team.

    We dominated almost every stage of that game. Jordan gives them 23 off 1 over and the game is gone.

    He's too inconsistent and he's 33 now. Time for someone younger.

    “Bad” is a generous term there. Appalling would be a word I would use. “Match losing” are two more

    Very easy to say now that Curran, rather than Billings, should have replaced Roy. We didn't use Billings with the bat, and Curran is the closest replacement for Mills in the squad.

    But it's a pointless thing to say now. You can't use hindsight to form the judgement. Before a ball was bowled, I wanted the extra batter. Maybe Curran could have come in rather than Wood, who was let down in both matches. But that's about it. Losing Mills to injury always looked a bad outcome.

    Yes, let’s just blame someone for losing. Good idea.

    It was a bad over, which I called before it was complete BUT IT WAS ONLY A BAD OVER BECAUSE THE KIWIS TOOK ADVANTAGE OF IT.
    Therefore they deserve some credit.

    Just realised the next T20 World Cup is only next year! So it's probably not worth making any radical changes until after that tournament.

    I have never seen a batsman so deep in the crease as Zaman.
    The umpire had to take quick evasive action as well, just now.

    After scoring the winner in '76 Stokes will always be a hero to me.
