Wise after the event. Why did he not complain when the venues were chosen?

A heavy defeat for Sri Lanka would be good for England. Not sure we’ll beat the Kiwis though!

Agreed, but still better than watching the BT or Sky pre-match coverage for our game.Playing 20/20 is just like a toss of a coin ? No skill just luck

What makes you think that? Just because it's shorter than Test cricket or One Day matches somehow means it's just down to luck?
How about any other sports shorter than a typical T20 match i.e most sports. Are they just luck with no skill?

Well first thing is the toss and winning it and batting 2nd wins more than batting 1st
then you're smashing it around the ground in miss or hit cricket
then the DLS system makes no sense for the team batting first
The toss is far less of an advantage than 4 day or test cricket which is more or less ruined by the toss.Well first thing is the toss and winning it and batting 2nd wins more than batting 1st

Lancashire historically have been the most successful t20 team in England and Wales on % of matches won and choose to bat first in almost all games, with the later ones this season and weather affected ones being the anomalies.
DLS applies to all limited overs, and the DL was far better than any previous system, and has seen a lot of tweaks to keep up with scoring rates and other changes.
Only a few teams can afford to play test cricket, and women's teams don't even play it or any long form cricket bar a novelty one off game every few years.
