Never up, never down has been the outlook that has served Chris Jordan well as a Twenty20 death bowler and even when asked about recording a hat-trick for England in the country of his birth, Barbados, he tried to deflect attention back on to the team’s performance. “Obviously being in the place where I was born, a place where I played so much cricket, in front of my family, my friends, the atmosphere, hearing the music going … yeah, it was a special one,” Jordan said. England’s next location will not be confirmed until Monday, with the knockout stage featuring the faintly ludicrous, money-driven stipulation that India must play the second semi-final in Guyana on Thursday – a day game that will be more watchable back home – rather than under lights in Trinidad the night before.
