I think good cricket, competitive cricket, consistently competitive cricket will always draw eyeballs and will

give you the revenues and the viewership you want, or the listenership for that matter.

And I feel that it's time to move on now from all these previous sort of fixed notions that this has to happen in a particular way.

I don't think it needs to, and we need to move on as a cricketing-loving organization.

The ICC needs to just now get their act together on this and move on from there.

I think England did pretty well.

As Matt said, these conditions are not necessarily where they're most comfortable, but they did prepare well this time.

That's something that, at least in the press sitting here in India, we read about the preparation or the improper preparation for the Ashes.

There was lots of press about all of that.

I think they prepared well, they played well, they came through tight games.

And, you know, oftentimes when we look at our own teams, whether I'm looking at India or you're looking at England or someone else at their own team, we tend to be probably a little bit extra critical.

I think oftentimes we forget that there is an opposition that's played as well.

And I think in that India-England semi-final, I think it was the Indian performance which really needs to be seen as being better than England's as opposed to saying England played poorly.

It's not that England played poorly.

I think India just played that much better on the night.

And T20 formats, above all, we all know, are so close that it could be one over here or one over there, one dropped catch, one missed opportunity or a brilliant knock by someone for eight or ten overs can change the game.

So I don't think you want to be too harsh on England.

I do think that the good thing to see was England were not as predictable as we've known them to be in the past.

They were flexible.

Brook coming up to number three probably should have happened earlier maybe.
