He definitely seemed very much disappointed with the team’s performance and tweeted ” We failed to deliver as a team when it mattered, 30 minutes of poor cricket yesterday & that snatched away from our chance for the cup.

Thank you all for painting most of UK blue wherever we played,” tweeted the opener, referring to the top-order failure which left the scorecard reading 5/3 in the first four overs itself.”We as fans are also in great despair regarding this unseen fate. Let’s hope for the next time.
