They're ahead of their time as a T20 team, the way that they played the game and the way that they committed to playing the game.

So yeah, that teamed with that blooming dance that I had to encounter, especially when we lost to them in the second round phase of the tournament, staying in the same hotel.

Our bus was about 15 minutes behind theirs as we walked through the hotel lobby.

They were all doing the Gangnam Style dance to the music as we somberly walked through to our room.

So, yeah, that...

Yeah, it was great.

And that was my first T20 World Cup that I'd played in.

I missed out on selection in the 2010 one as I'd just started playing for England then and thought I might have a chance and was disappointed not to be in it.

And then was selected for this 2012 one.

And yeah, to have the shortest format of the game that wasn't as dynamic and powerful as

as it is now, played at three venues.

It clearly challenged teams in different ways.

There were quite a few low scores, including our defeat to India in the Super 8s phase of the tournament was particularly bad.

But yeah, I really, really enjoyed it.

And my first taste of having a smaller hub where all the players are in the same hotel, you're bumping into people the whole time, but then going out there and representing England, it was great fun.

No, not necessarily.

No.

And yeah, Harbijan in particular, then with the way they got the ball to bounce in Sri Lanka, you can see that ball bouncing quite a lot.

So it was particularly tricky.

And the guys at that stage hadn't really been exposed to the IPL, but weren't that familiar with the players that we were playing against.
