‘We are looking for a higher standard of skill’

Were the words of Eoin Morgan after England’s 111-run World Cup defeat to Australia in the cauldron of the MCG.

Fast forward 122 days and the ODI captain beamed with triumph after helping England to their highest ever run chase by reaching 350 – yet another record broken in this rapid evolution.
