He’ll probably be playing where ever he is now. He’s crossed through that threshold. He’ll start every game he’s around for England and that semi-final against India in India will propel his prominence in IPL.

I think his centuries across the formats have shown, he’s probably the exception of what you’d normally expect in terms of “learning the game”. He can do it all already.

We are unlikely to see him in a Bears shirt anytime soon which is unfortunate but that’s central contracts for you.

Hopefully he will go on to break the Bears/England/Edgbaston hoodoo.

All over already. Thanks for fuck all, New Zealand. Let South Africa win the semi if you aren't even going to try.

Not just in hindsight, but honestly thought their best chance would have been to bat first and try and put some pressure on India.  As it is, chasing a massive score in those kind of conditions was always going to be very difficult.

Yes, tame finale to a brilliant tournament.
