I have written about how Eng changed its ODI strategy and brand after 2015. The focus here is on what happened during the WC as the team needed to win 4 games in a row against tough opponents to win the title. Morgan did exceptionally well to channelize the energy to deliver match-winning performances. It was Bairstow who stood up against Ind and NZ in the virtual KO games. Bowlers and Roy took the mantle in the SF, while Stokes and Buttler raised their hand in the final. To deliver such a team effort, Captain Morgan deserves the credit. 

 

In sports, many times, you are trying to shoot a moving target. It is like driving a car for e.g. where you could be in your lane but someone slips in forcing you to brake, and where you have to constantly make adjustments not just based on where you are going, but also how others interact with you. This is where Morgan was good too. Eng went back to the drawing board and came back motivated to come out all cylinders firing!

:hatsoff: Sole reason why England whiteball cricket has change so much. He told English fans. Aim higher. Cricket is more than just taking turns to Ashes

(Along with MS Dhoni, Yuvraj, Gambhir, Harbhajan and Sreesanth), Morgan is the only player in cricket history to be part of a T20 and World Cup final winning Xi. He is a great white ball player. Also would have won the 2016 world t20 were it not for a freak brathwaite innings

Morgan has the opportunity to add another WT20 title to his list in Aus in 2020

Eng keeps getting better at chasing .... Thanks to Captain Morgan, probably the best white ball captain at the moment!

Kkr a well spend 5 crores.. best finisher in t20 cricket today

Could have made him the skipper :dontknow:
 

Imagine if Ind had a skipper like him post 2015 WC. We could have developed a lot more youngsters  (whereas Ind’s captain & vice captain occupy top slots even in bilaterals without attempting to groom youngsters relatively speaking)

Hard hitting left hander.  If he was Indian we would have even played him tests lol. 

I hope in KKR Nitish Rana learns from him.  He has the ability to emulate Morgan.
