Question for the group.  Is Butler in the right frame of mind since he came back from personal leave before the 3rd T20.  Normally, he looks very relaxed and smiling but lately he looks very subdued.

I’d guess he’s professional enough but couldn’t blame any of the player for being a bit worn out after this summer tbh.

Morgan has developed into a very very good captain who can read bowling changes.

I think we are lucky to have him myself and glad we have

Marsh played a horrible shot but the ball to Warner was an absolute peach. Big fan of England developing quality batsmen who bowl dirty spin, Dan Lawrence being the next  candidate.

Yeah, he’s brilliant isn’t he, not sure we’ll really see just how good he is until he’s gone.

Hopefully he will last until the next World Cup but agree it will be some job replacing him as captain, got a super side these days and I think his positive mindset that he has always had, has worked wonders for this side and the new and emerging players seem to come in a play with freedom.

If only he could play test match cricket as well as worth his place as a captain and tactical qualities let alone his batting

I guess you’d call it brave if he’s got a wicket, but I think most people would have chopped him an over ago, but then see the comments above, there’s a reason I’m not England captain and it’s not just my batting!

Rashid bowling the final over was probably one of the worst things he's ever done. Shocking.

If it comes off it's a great call, if it doesn't it's not - That's how top level sport works and Morgan is a superb captain with a great knowledge of the game. I'll take his opinion over yours.

Thought the Aussies batted very well chasing down an above par score. England did brilliantly to get to over 300 from 0-2 and Bairstow played superbly well with great support from Woakes.

Carey played well after getting a second chance, and Maxwell played the sort of innings that he should be playing more regularly. I was shocked to see he'd only scored one ODI ton before tonight, the guy's got loads of ability - he backed it tonight with a bit of nous I think.

Another great series, we've been treated to some great cricket this summer all things considering!

A spinner who's gone at almost 9 vs a very good death bowler who's excelled with pace off the ball. Just baffled by why he turned to him. Archer's no ball and Buttler's drop off that nick also proving costly.

Genuinely gutted we lost that

I'm seeing it from the point that we've been very lucky to see some great cricket this year despite all the stuff that's going on in the world. Sh it happens.

I also would have gone curran for the final over. Starc was always going to swing hard and with the extra flight and a short boundary one side he had half a chance against Rashid. Not sure he would have been able to get currans back of a length mix ups away so easily.

But being honest it was australias to lose whoever bowled at the death after that huge partnership. Could've done with a middle overs strike bowler. Used to have a fella called plunkett who won us the world cup.

I dont blame Morgan, best captain ive seen in an England shirt on and off the pitch and the messiah as far as white ball cricket goes.
