IT could have been a boobytrap but Jos Buttler and Chris Jordan turned England's passage to the T20 World Cup semi-finals into happy hour.
Seldom, if ever, will you see a game on Bash Street garnished with four wickets in five balls, including a hat-trick, and five sixes in a row.
But as England romped home by 10 wickets with 10.2 overs to spare against the USA in Barbados, they flexed their muscles like Popeye's biceps after devouring a tin of spinach.
Chasing just 116 to win, Buttler's violent, unbeaten 83 off 38 balls took the chequered flag with indecent haste.
The captain's seven sixes included five in a row off Harmeet Singh, while a monster 104-metre hit damaged a solar panel on the roof of a stand.
On his home island, the recalled Jordan went home with match the ball after his superb intervention.
