Player of the Match
David Willey | England
Tournament hasn’t gone to plan, disappointing on that note. It would have been nice to go on a real high. To perform and finish with 100 wickets is a nice way to finish. (About the frustration of a poor start to the World Cup) You only have to look around the dressing room.
We have got a phenomenal group of players, massive talents, no doubt we have under performed here which is disappointing. As a collective we should have performed better. (Did not getting a contract give extra motivation) Yeah, Keysy (Rob Key) said hopefully you can prove me wrong.
Maybe I have done over the last few games. For me personally it’s not many opportunities you get to walk away from cricket on your terms and I wanted to really enjoy the last three games of cricket and play without looking over my shoulder and thinking one bad performance and I am out of the side.
(Did you imagine you will play these many games when you first pulled on a shirt as a professional cricketer) No not at all. If I look back at my academy time I was never the best player.
I have just found a way and my resilience to keep chipping away to be part of this group – which is such an incredible group of white ball cricketers – I’m immensely proud of that. Very proud of every game. I have been fortunate enough to get a great support network around me to pick me up when I have been down.
My wife, I am sure she will be watching back home no doubt. Massive thank you to her, she has picked me up many a time. Proud every time I have pulled on this shirt and the national anthem is pretty special.
World Cup win in Australia with family around was pretty special after the disappointment of missing in 2019. From there, finding my way back into the side – I didn’t actually play in the competition itself but that moment was very special. Every time you take a wicket is pretty special.
