PHIL SALT decided it was time to “pull the trigger” – and now England can come out all guns blazing against South Africa today.
With a 30-run blitz from a single Romario Shepherd over, Salt demolished co-hosts West Indies in St Lucia.
Another Super 8s win against South Africa at the same venue, or against the United States in Barbados on Sunday, will leave Jos Buttler’s men on the brink of the semi-finals less than a week after they diced with elimination.
Opener Salt’s unbeaten 87 from 47 balls catapulted the holders to an eight-wicket win with 2.3 overs to spare – and his takedown of Shepherd, as England chased 181 to win, was the moment their campaign went nuclear.

Exactly what is wrong in Britain today, the post of a diversity officer was advertised in the NHS and the salary was twice as much as a junior doctor. WTF, we as a country are too busy trying not to say/do anything which may cause offence to a small minority of people, but it won't get the waiting list down.
