Cheers now.

Well no, your memory isn’t really wrong. Maybe we should have gone further, but we didn’t want to recap the entire four-year period leading to the next World Cup.

The next series was against Australia and England were bowled out for around 250 in the first two, losing both. After a couple of wins posting 300, they were bowled out for 138 in the fifth and lost the series.

Then, early in 2016, they surrendered a 2-0 lead against South Africa to lose 3-2. It wasn’t really until that summer and series wins against Sri Lanka and Pakistan that they were properly up and running.

Yes, the team sometimes had to adjust, Sam. I suppose I meant that I’d vaguely misremembered that when Morgan took over it took some time for the new approach to bed down, so the selectors deserved credit for sticking with him.

Whereas what happened was that Morgan’s approach worked immediately, and then the selectors said afterwards that they had always been completely committed to him.

…Pant’s on fire!

FYI – Sam’s Hardik to Wiley joke did not go down all that well with Daisy just now. Maybe my timing was awry, as Hardik was in the process of taking his fourth wicket. Wondering whether Hardik will be able to keep it up, of course.

Daisy loved and commented on the “cut to Lanky The Giraffe” moment too, KC.

Where is Sam’s Blast Finals Day match report? I really hope we’re not going to get one of those “more important things to do” delay excuses from either or both of you.

One of the great things about the Blast is that halfway through the final ball drama, they cut to a reaction shot from Lanky.
