The results of the T20 World Cup did not come as you wanted. I tried very hard to forget the defeat in the final, but it is not easy. Last night someone reminded me of that match again and I would say that if you feel bad for us, then you should not remind us of this.

Someone the other night told us about this and you're like, 'you don't have to tell us, if you feel bad for us'. Some things you don't want to remember". pic.twitter.com/EE5A5rLd00
