You can't rely on semi-finals forever.
You've got to be aiming, England as a country had to be aiming higher than that.
I think you mentioned the sort of decisions, a few decisions that have made.
I think that's where we are expecting, as you've probably read and heard in the last few days, that Brendan McCullum and Rob Key will keep their jobs after this.
Nothing's decided yet.
The suggestion is that they've done enough.
There are a few points that show that they've made good decisions in this tournament, and you take that back, I say in this tournament, but you actually take it back to the start of the cycle.
We were both there, Henry, I remember, at Headingley last year in Harry Brooke's first press conference, and he spoke about bringing back Liam Dawson.
Straight away, he said, I'm going to be captain, we've got a World Cup in India in Sri Lanka next year, I'm bringing back Liam Dawson.
That definitely worked.
England, the start of 2025, they...
brought in Tom Banton and they picked him to attack spin in the middle overs he had one really good innings and a few good contributions as well that were England have picked Will Jacks as a finisher which on the face it is a quite a for a guy that's open for exactly his whole career he does it in the 100 he does it for Surrey he does it in the IPL mostly he's someone who bats at the top of the order and they saw something there that they thought he can be our finisher a problem that England
a problem position for England for a little while now.
And that's absolutely worked, so much so that I think he's probably banked that position for the 50-over team as well.
So I think you have to give
Some credit there, plenty of credit there to Brook and to McCollum.
We've criticised them through the winter, quite rightly.
You have to give them a little bit of credit for when they've done things that have come off.
Yeah, and that is...
we shouldn't forget despite everything i've said there how important that innings is in setting the narrative because had england conceded 254 against india and then being rolled for a hundred we'd be saying very different things i'd counteract that by saying the fact that a player was able to do that and play with that freedom and that mentality tells a story similarly when harry brooks scored his hundred
