and England have never done anything like that have we?
And it’s the same with them - for me once you have played for one nation that’s it
Isn't it the same in a lot of sports? Cricket isn't alone in players swapping nationalities. I think FIFA has rules regarding it happening after playing at a certain age group although stand to be corrected

I think any rule that allows a change of nation needs to be contextualised. In rugby there has been a significant amount of pillaging players from smaller nations and it would only seem fair that these players be allowed to return to strengthen their national teams of heritage.

Phil Salt is on fire 
, he knocked six boundaries in an over ,three sixes and three fours against the windies ,England won with 15 balls to spare . We are getting into our stride now as Bairstow was looking good as well.

Amazing how you can improve with a few matches under your belt. No real excuse but with most of the pre tournament warm up matches washed out and the opening match washed out, it is no surprise that we were a little rusty.
Time will tell but hoping for some better performances over the upcoming matches.

How has Eng gone from being knocked out by Scotland to being a favorite within a week..... T20 feels like Euros at the moment.Phil Salt is on fire

The ropey start was hardly a massive shock given how the build up was trashed by the weather. May be a massive false dawn but now they have got some overs under their belt, the team seem to be hitting form. Then again, on their day pretty much anyone in the last 8 can beat anyone else.

Sad news. Used to love watching this guy bowl - he genuinely gave it everything.
Indeed. Not the most natural bowler but got so much out of his action and always gave 100%David 'Syd' Lawrence: Ex-England and Gloucestershire bowler diagnosed with motor neurone disease

The attendances in The W Indies have been disappointing.
Some excellent catches by England and a exceptional run out.

T20 can be like that. England v South Africa a case in point it could have gone either way.
If the group stage had followed seeding and Pakistan and New Zealand were in the final 8 I would totally agree with you. But USA isn’t going to win a game.

Wow.. woke up to the news that Afg had beaten Aus!! Can’t wait to watch the highlights incl a hat trick in vain.
This will make Aus next match a must win match. And they are up against India.. it could be fun …

And Afghanistan used 8 bowlers!
Having watched the hat trick this morning I can’t help feeling that a hat trick of catches in the deep is rather like getting a hole in one on a pitch and putt

It is.
But THAT is how to take a hat trick. Chris Jordan, take a bow.
