Very impressed with the team performance today.
I've never rated Chris Jordan and have openly questioned why he's in the side before now but his ability to bowl it on a sixpence today was exceptional.
Clever bowling too.
It shows a maturity in the team's thinking and suggests that Morgan knows what he's doing afterall.
Slainte mhath, Owen........

I have to admit that Jordan has improved his bowling with the white ball way more than I thought was possible. Surely still not test match standard though.
It seems to me that Morgan himself is the team's biggest weakness; far too inconsistent.
The team is doing brilliantly overall. Transformed over the last 12 months. Can we win the final?

It's clear how improved the team is when they select T20 specialists so there's no point in comparing them with Test Match players as only a handful e.g. Root can excel at multiple formats. T20 is a different game and this team has a real chance of winning the competition.

It was 4 terrible balls though, only way it would have been easier was if he tossed it to him underarm.

Stokes is usually so good at bowling the last over as well, maybe it should have been Willey or Jordan but hindsight is a wonderful thing

Brilliant match, close all the way through and a great ending. Stokes should have learned after the first ball though.

Love the way no one in the media or around the England team has stated the bloody obvious - Stokes bottled the last over like no one has ever bottled an over before.
This is a highly paid professional who bowled like a schoolboy. He definitely deserves the Chris Brunt treatment.

i don't think he deserved coining Nat, bit harsh but he did bottle it. Why he didn't try a yorker or a short delivery is beyond me. If he'd chinned Samuels he would have redeemed himself as he is a big mouth clown

He did. He's a big time Charlie who let the whole country down. When Beckham got sent off at the 98 world cup he received death threats and abuse for months.
I've just posted my death threat to:
Ben Stokes
Big Time Charlie Bottler
England
I trust Royal Mail will deliver it swiftly.

Four sixes off one over is still a big ask but credit to the Windies for giving it large and making it a nerve jangling finish.

Just been discussing this with a bloke at work.
Why do we always lose the first test of the summer?
It's a mental thing, surely?

England v Sri Lanka looks interesting.
At the moment some blokes in banana costumes are being chased by a bloke in a gorilla suit.
