England captain Eoin Morgan on Sky Sports: "It was filled with ups and downs we let ourselves down with the bat and probably fell about 40 short. We were getting messages out there to get a score on the board and there was a lot of belief we could still win.

"The decision to open the bowling with Joe Root came about in the last couple of days and golden arm took two wickets in his first over.

"Throughout this tournament we have shared a lot of good times but we are all in pain tonight. Ben [Stokes] plays all three formats, it will take him a while to come back but I have no doubts he will have a long career and do well in an England shirt."

"It happens so fast. One minute you think you are winning and then the next minute, it all changes."

"It was a staggeringly good final and a very good tournament. I feel desperately sorry for England who played so tenaciously to get back into the match, and especially Ben Stokes. On the other hand you have to admire Brathwaite and the way he finished the game."

"Stokes is a tough character but it is going to take a bit to come back from that."

I've just spotted that quote from Marlon Samuels, dedicating his MOM trophy to Shane Warne. Warney gave Samuels pelters during the semi-final, the memory of on an-field spat probably still in his mind.

"The sign of a good leader is to know what will get your team going. I feel it is overplayed as such but it has worked for them. Every good team uses some sort of carrot."

"That was a passionate speech from Sammy. There's a lot going on in West Indies cricket. You need this success to force thing to change and it sounds like they definitely need that. You have to respect his honesty and vulnerability and hopefully it'll help rectify those issues."

"It's really good to see a smile on the face of West Indies cricket. It's a unique brand of the game and it needs to be nurtured and encouraged."

Sammy gets his hands on the trophy, fireworks shoot into the air, champagne pops, the ticker tape rains down. The party has truly started. West Indies are the 2016 World Twenty20 champions.

More from Darren Sammy: "We dedicate this win to all the fans in the Caribbean. I don't know when we will play together again, we don't get selected for the one-day team."

I've never heard a captain talk like this. He's giving it to everyone. Board, selectors, Mark Nicholas...

West Indies captain Darren Sammy: "This win is something we are going to cherish for a long time. We have 15 match-winners but nobody gave us a chance. 

"We felt disrespected by our board, Mark Nicholas described us as having no brains and all this brought us together. The ability to put adversity aside and to play this type of cricket is just tremendous."

Hang on, he might have just said they have a pastor with the team who isn't Fletcher. I'm confused.

"I never stopped believing," says Sammy. He also reveals that Andre Fletcher is a pastor. Who knew?

Here comes Darren Sammy. It would take a sledgehammer to get that smile from his face, He's got a Windies flag around his shoulders. Thoroughly likable chap.

The Windies are called up for their medals. Noise for Chris Gayle.

Virat Kohli is named player of the tournament, but he's not there! The fans are bemused. It's like the Brit Awards!

West Indies batsman Marlon Samuels: "I grew up watching England cricket and respect their players. We are champions again but we want to continue going from strength to strength for Caribbean cricket.

"I woke up this morning with one thing and all I have to say is "this trophy is for Shane Warne".
