Carlos Brathwaite struck four consecutive sixes in the final over as the West Indies chased down England’s 155 to win a thrilling final by six wickets and lift the World Twenty20 for the second time.
Well that was a rather interesting presentation. We can, and no doubt will, mull it over in due course. In the meantime Darren Sammy lifts the World Twenty20 trophy. His side are the first to do so twice. And thoroughly deserved it is too.
That’s all from me. There will be more reaction and Vic Marks’ full report to come. Thanks for reading and getting involved today and throughout the tournament. From all of us on the OBO team, bye!

Darren Sammy: “We have a pastor in the team in Andre Fletcher and he keeps on praying. We’re going to cherish this win for a long time. I said we had 15 match winners; no one gave us a chance and in every match someone stepped up and took responsibility. To see Carlos step up in his debut World Cup shows the depth we have in T20 and we hope we can continue our development in One Day and Test cricket. We have a lot of issues, we felt disrespected by our board, Mark Nicholas said we had no brains. I really want to thank these 15 men for their ability to put all adversity aside and play this kind of cricket in front of such passionate fans. I want to thank the coaching staff, Phil has been just brilliant. I’ve got to give credit to the entire team here.
“We had a very inspiring message from the president this morning. From the board we’ve heard nothing which is very disappointing. I want to thank these 15 men, the coaching team, the people in the Caribbean. Champion!”

Virat Kohli is the player of the tournament. “Unfortunately, Virat can’t be here,” says Nasser Hussain presenting the award, with no small measure of a smile.
Marlon Samuels is man of the match after his brilliant, match-winning 85 not out. “When it comes to finals I always turn up and do well for the team. I grew up watching English cricket so all respect to them but we just want to move from strength to strength for the Caribbean. If we get a good start I can step on it, if we lose wickets I can pace my innings. I didn’t have much to say to Carlos. I woke up this morning with one thing on my mind: Shane Warne has been talking, so this is for Shane Warne. I answer with my bat.”

Eoin Morgan: “Huge highs and huge lows. I was never sure. We put ourselves in a position to win the game but today wasn’t our day. We didn’t have enough runs on the board. On a really decent batting surface we should have put 180-190 on the board. For the bowlers to get us to the stage we were at going into the 20th over was brilliant. I’m so proud of everybody in the squad. This is only the start of something special, we’re building, we’re looking to the future.
“Ben Stokes is fine, it’s not his fault. We share the wins and we share the losses.”

Carlos Brathwaite, the hero at the death, says: “That was an amazing knock from Marlon. He took responsibility and played a fantastic knock. Can’t really express how much of a top knock that was. The U-19s did it, the girls did it, and now us.”
It’s been thumpingly and totally the West Indies’ tournament: they take all three trophies. It would take the most blinkered and parochial of England fans not to feel a tiny bit happy for them.
