Death bowling hasn't been good enough recently and highlighted today. Not enough variety

Doesnt help when youre missing your first choice 2 death bowlers but agree it was very one dimensional

Yes. Comparing Boult and Southee to our two, they mixed it up really well.

Very happy with this win - though I'm not a great fan of the format and had picked the opposite result until very late!

Anyone else wonder if the over-coaching of Jordan in his last over caused more issues than it solved?

I heard the commentary talking about Morgan during the game saying he wished he had talked to Stokes more during his last over against the Windies I believe it was,so I suspect he was trying to slow Jordan down.
I’ve also seen India do it to their last bowler and he folded like a pack of cards,so you might be onto something.
One thing is for sure it was a shocking over and cost us the game.

It’s brilliant to see him out there - hopefully he can get to Aus as well for a small period.

Without a doubt the worst thing about tournaments like the T20 WC is being at the mercy of the host broadcaster for commentary teams.
Shane Watson is the Australian version of Tuffers and, despite all his years of broadcasting experience now, Mark Nicholas still hasn’t grasped the fact that the sign of a genuinely good commentator is knowing when to shut up. Reminds me very much of the equally nauseating David Gower.

C'mon Pakistan. Cricket needs big tournaments to be won by teams other than the big 3.

Amazed that Warner didn't review that. I've never seen a batsman walk when he hasn't hit it.

Just as annoying are the too cool for school analysts / stats jockeys. Plenty of tosh being bandied around about England's loss. Stats / data are / is useful but can also be a strait-jacket. I seem to remember Peter Moores getting slated after the 2015 World Cup after he was (mistakenly) quoted as saying that they'd check the data. Stats don't take into account the squidgy, organic things playing it. Or any number of differing conditions.
In defence of nicholas I don't think directors like dead airtime now. No one shuts up anymore, sadly.
