Also, T20 is just random, isn't it?

It's like it's just two games of cricket.

Same with Butler and Salt or whatever.

You have to react every day so the story then becomes, oh, he's out of nick and he's struggling.

Josh Butler could rock up tomorrow and smash 100.

We know that.

Phil Salt's got four T20 international hundreds.

So the problem with reacting every day is you have to be up or down.

They're very good cricketers.

The problem...

Two sides of the argument with England is that in world events, in the group they've just played, they beat everyone bar the West Indies.

And if you look at recent world events, they've not beaten many major, in 50 overs or T20, but actually their form going into this tournament in T20 cricket, I think now they've won something like 13 of their last 14 games.

So your point originally to Mo that they are one of the pre-tournament favourites was backed on their form.

But recently in major events, they've not beaten any of the top nations.

And that's why tomorrow is such a massive game.

They start well.

All the good memories of playing in Sri Lanka before this tournament, I think they will kick on from there.

I think we have to be fair.

For all the criticism when we were out in Australia and for their preparation for the Ashes, they got nailed, and rightly.

prep right i mean you know they're going to be based here for super eights they've got all three games here they came here won a 50 over series won a t20 series played really good cricket so i think they've got it absolutely spot on the prep and they'll be challenged they'll be challenged in these three games i don't know how you feel you've said it before a ball went down actually that this super eight group looks the easier group and that's why it's panned out is that everyone that
