ALEX HALES and Jos Buttler embarked on an incredible six-hitting spree as England rampaged into the World Cup final with ludicrous ease.

For Hales, it was the ultimate personal vindication of his return to international cricket after more than three years in the cold.

And, for Buttler, it was confirmation of his talent and leadership after taking over as captain from Eoin Morgan last summer.

Hales cleared the boundary seven times and Buttler hit three sixes.

They rushed to their target without being parted as England crushed India by ten wickets in the semi-final with four overs to spare.

Buttler finished the job with the tenth six of the innings and England will play Pakistan in the final in Melbourne on Sunday.

Player of the Match Hales said: “This is right up there. This is a huge occasion and I’m really happy with the way I played. Really special.

“This is one of the best grounds for batting in the world, giving good value for your shots with the short square boundaries.

“I never thought I’d play in a World Cup so to get a chance is very special. It’s one of the best nights of my career.”

This wasn’t just a victory – it was a total demolition job against the pre-match favorites and one of the most talented and dangerous Twenty20 teams in the world.
