Yeah, and I suppose we should have seen that something was a little amiss with the Kiwis, given that their anthem was played in fast forward before the game.

And to see the guys laughing, that was heartwarming.

And it kind of sums up a lot of feelings towards T20 cricket generally.

But yeah, here, I mean, the question has to be asked contractually.

Are we sleeping on England?

The answer is no.

They've won 16 of their last 18 completed T20Is per roller get around him.

And they finish this off.

scarily, actually, because Ran Ahmed comes into the team, he plays with that kind of youthful fearlessness, and Will Jacks is pretty much on course to be player of the tournament thus far.

As we know, the tournament will progress exactly as it has prior to this, so on that basis, Will Jacks is firming as player of the tournament, but...

He finishes it off for England, and that's the difference in a game on a ragging deck.

Spinners had plenty of say, but it was Will Jacks winning the battle of the all-rounders.

It makes sense.

I mean, most people who rise and grind types will advocate listening to podcasts, et cetera, in double speed.

And I just presume that's what this was.

This was like chuck it on 1.5x, 2x, and that way stack that up over a couple of innings and you're toast.

I'm sorry to labour it, but this is the world that we're living in.

I'm sure there was some mogging going on somewhere I don't know what it was but it actually it was very funny watching the Kiwi boys laughing as they were singing I think Ratchet was trying to feel the emotion of it which is fair enough it's probably part of his you know like part of the way he prepares but yeah he had to sing at a good clip well sorry

And England like India in the semis as well, if Australia is anything to go by.

So I'm not sure if it's a good result for India, which is ultimately the question.
