Excellent tournament completed by England. Great for Warwickshire now Moeen and hopefully Woakes are made availabile for the Blast ought to help boost attendances for sure. I go back to one of the comments from a gentleman at the first HPR forum in September that as soon as he saw how England were going to prepare for the Ashes last year (+ the injuries, bubbles etc...) he immediately switched off because it was obvious to him that England would get bounced around and walloped by the Aussies.

As it turned out aside from the heat in Adelaide and to some extent Sydney the conditions were quite similar to English conditions but the poor prep did for them

Contrast with how well England have prepared for this tournament. Yes they have turned themselves into a fantastic white ball team/squad and probably by some distance the best in the world at coping with all conditions (no mean feat in a format as fickle as T20 where results are less predictable) wheras in Test cricket you get the sense there isn't much of a gap talentwise between each of the top 4-5 test playing 11's in world cricket and home advantage plays a massive part still.

Elated for Moeen and Woakesy but also for Adil Rashid now a double world cup winner and alongside Stokes probably the key player in England becoming so dominant overall in the limited overs formats

Quite a Trophy Cabinet for Chris Woakes now, having played in sides that have won the 50-over World Cup, the 20-over World Cup, The Ashes and a Domestic County Championship. I believe that is a unique combination.
Now he's won everything, do you think he might like to retire from International cricket and come back to help out the Bears?

Don't forget he also has a domestic T20 Winners Trophy (with Birmingham) in 2014 and a Royal London Cup in 2016.

Won the 40 over comp in 2010 too.

Chris Woakes is only 33, so could have plenty more years at international level, provided that knee operation really did put him right. But hopefully he can play more games for the Bears in the next few seasons.
Good to have him and the past and future Bear Moeen both in the winning side today.
And what about the player described on the old Bearsfans site as nothing more than a "short*rsed trundler"? Not just player of the final but also player of the tournament!
