    They did. But the team picked itself really. More or less all Butler's work I'd say. So is this side mind, and as he's still a player, it's players he's played with, who he knows, who make the cut.

    A tournament too far for most of them.

    Certainly am mate. It was his first season as well. I agreed to give him £1 for a 4 and £3 for a 6 and he ended up will just short of 200 runs for the season. Cost me a fortune <laugh>

    Just watching Afghanistan on.

    They've always had canny bowlers, now they look like they know how to bat at targets. Just shows the difference a good coach can make.

    Contrast the visible difference Jonathan Trott has made with Afghanistan to the inert , gormless and passive Mott with England.

    All nine countries playing better cricket than England.

    I have really enjoyed watching Afghanistan, not as exciting as the Aussies, or as reckless as England. Always shied away from the 20/20,s and ODI's and missed the start of this competition, thankfully switched on by chance and am hooked on this format and competition its been a real winner imo.
