Cricket News : Morgan: 'Buttler at the forefront of change in the game' after big win over Aussies

Reaction from the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Saturday after England made it three wins out of three in Group 1 at the T20 World Cup in the most emphatic style - an 8-wicket win with a mammoth 50 balls to spare over Australia in Dubai. A Jos Buttler masterclass followed an impressive bowling display after Eoin Morgan won the toss and chose to field. Buttler smashed 71 not out from 32 balls with five thumping sixes as England's batters quickly finished off what the bowling department had started. Chris Jordan led the way with 3-17 as England tore through the Australia top order and they slumped to 21-4 in 6.1 overs. Aaron Finch's side rallied to see out its full 20 overs, but their total of 125 all out was not going to trouble England. The result puts Morgan's men clear at the top of Group 1 - Australia are now third, behind South Africa on run rate after Saturday's hammering.
