Re: T20i
BcFcWe’re not making it out the group are we?
Maybe we will, but it will be by the skin of our teeth. But looking at performances, so far, we don’t deserve to. In 10 overs we got 0 wickets against Scotland and then got a mauled by the Aussies. Scotland on the over hand were 100 odd for none against England and hammered both Namibia and Oman. They deserve to go through so far.
I said the same in the 50 over World Cup, these England players have delivered unprecedented success and I appreciate what they’ve done and won’t think badly about them even if they fail here. It’s time for a changing of the guard and some real fresh blood, Mott has been awful and Buttler is brilliant as a player but his captaincy is lacking.
In a way it highlights just how good Morgan was as a thinker and tinkerer.
I’ll be disappointed if we go out in the group stage, but nothing more than that. These players have won two world cups so fair play to them.
On another note, the displays by some of the associates in this tournament has been a breath of fresh air and long May a more expansive and inclusive way of cricket continue, it’s the only way to expand the game and something the ICC has finally got right.
