IT could have been a booby trap but Jos Buttler and Chris Jordan turned England's passage to the Twenty20 World Cup semi-finals into happy hour.
Seldom, if ever, will you see a game garnished with four wickets in five balls, including a hat-trick, in one innings and five sixes in a row in the next.
But as England romped home by 10 wickets with 10.2 overs to spare against the United States in Bridgetown, they flexed their muscles like Popeye's biceps after 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 England captain's seven sixes included five in a row off Harmeet Singh while another monster hit - measured at 104 metres - damaged a solar panel.
