England T20 World Cup ratings: Jonny Bairstow and Sam Curran struggle, Jofra Archer proves worth

England’s T20 World Cup defence ended on Thursday at the hands of India.

Despite reaching the semi-final, England were unconvincing throughout the campaign and changes could well be afoot.

Jos Buttler

214 runs at average 42.80

Form was iffy again at a World Cup with 83 against the United States inflating numbers and his tactical decision-making at crucial times was found wanting. 4/10

Phil Salt

188 at 37.60

One outstanding performance against West Indies on a quick pitch in St Lucia and will have to get better on the slower tracks that England will face at next two World Cups. But a great talent in the making and had England’s best strike rate. 5/10

Will Jacks

15 at 7.50

A tournament to forget for a player who was billed as a star in the making. Dropped after three games and remembered only for bowling a 22-run over, a decision against Australia that summed up England’s knuckleheadedness. Will be back. 2/10

Jonny Bairstow

110 at 27.50

He fired up against his critics after thrashing around the less than mighty Namibia and played well in the West Indies win, taking the pressure off Salt, but predictable dismissal by Axar Patel in the India game and should be a casualty of regeneration. 4/10

Harry Brook

145 at 72.50

Topped the averages, scored his first World Cup fifty and should have batted higher in the order. England did not make the most of his talent and instead put too much trust in ageing stars. 6/10

Moeen Ali

71 at 14.20, 3 wickets at 24.33

Batted too high at three, but was pressed into that position because of England’s lack of left-handers and their obsession with match-ups. Bowled well when given the opportunity and should have been used against India. 5/10

Liam Livingstone

72 at 18.00, 3 wickets at 27.66

He had a half decent World Cup, bowling well in spinning conditions and briefly flowered with the bat yet when England needed him to take them home against South Africa, he fell short. 5/10

Sam Curran

12 runs at 12.00, 3 wickets at 38.33

Three wickets at 38 and an economy of nearly 10 an over sum up a World Cup that passed him by. Feels an awful lot longer than 20 months since he was man of the tournament in Australia. 4/10

Adil Rashid

10 wickets at 18.60

Bowled superbly in the Super Eights and well against India too. Was slow to start because of a lack of cricket which was a major oversight (he had played merely two games since February) but once he clicked his variations, changes of pace and accuracy were outstanding. 7/10

Chris Jordan

10 wickets at 13.40

Fairytale hat-trick against United States at the Kensington Oval in front of proud family and friends was a heartwarming moment for a likeable cricketer but, at 35, he is one who has done his duty for England. 5/10

Mark Wood

3 wickets at 37.66

Scared Oman to death but pace was not really the weapon on these pitches and found it tough going for the second successive World Cup because of lack of change-ups. 4/10

Reece Topley

2 wickets at 60.50

Mystifyingly left out for the first two games, another tactical error, and when he was picked he did not let anyone down, bowling with great accuracy in the powerplay to have the lowest economy rate – 6.72 – of any seamer. 7/10

Jofra Archer

10 wickets at 19.00

A welcome comeback to international cricket and underlined his status as one of the game’s best T20 bowlers with cleverly disguised slower balls mixed with high pace. Hopefully the elbow support in the last two games was just a precaution. 7/10
