T 20 World Cup

[Eamon Holmes]

Warner out for 1, Smith out for 1 oh happy day

Good to see the 2 cheats get sweet FA out of the match.

Come on England ! Roy and Buttler started nicely. Mills expensive today with Ali not bowling at all.

I read somewhere that Finch destroys off spin, so maybe they were keeping Ali fielding till Finch got out. And by then it was nearly over.

Yep that is true but Mills got destroyed anyway lol. It was just that Rashid and Livingstone bowled so well I found it strange that Ali didn't bowl at all

Just watched the highlights.
Massive statement of intent from England.

Hopefully not peaking too soon, but great to see Buttler return to form.

Aussies totally smashed.

 

[Stroller]

Tournament favourites Indua are struggling again, 48-4 in the eleventh over.

 

[Trammers]

Just switched on and see that New Zealand are turning the screws a bit..... India 58/4 from 12

 

[Trammers]

No boundries for India between overs 8 and 16...... some squeeze by NZ bowlers

 

[Trammers]

NZ 30/1 from 5........still in control

 

[Stroller]

They're doing to India what we did to the Aussies.

Good, **** India & their fans

Pre tournament favourites India struggling somewhat.

Get in, New Zealand win by 8 wickets ! Lovely. India in real danger of not qualifying for Semi's now. England and Pakistan have looked a cut above so far, if Buttler produces an innings like yesterday's in the final should we get there then I can't see us losing. Alot of ifs I know but with Roy, Bairstow and Livingstone all capable of serious battery too it's looking mighty good.

Just seen this. Was a favourite of mine and a fine batsman. A character too along with Botham and Gower, hoping he makes a full recovery. All the best to a real fighter

As good a side as India are, I actually fear New Zealand and Pakistan more in this format.
Plus, in such a short game, almost anyone can beat anyone, although I agree that England are looking very strong.

Shri Lanka will be a tester later.

 

[Hammersmith reborn]

Sri Lanka are a shadow of the team they were pal, can't see us not walloping them really. Agree about Pakistan and New Zealand, seriously dangerous sides. New Zealand have become an excellent side in all formats, don't forget they are World test champions and we all know what happened in the 50 over World Cup final. Memorable

 

[Hammersmith reborn]

Bugger, Sri Lanka have won the toss and are bowling first. Imperative we get off to a good start, come on Buttler and Roy !

 

[Hammersmith reborn]

Low skiddy wicket apparently and hard to score on. Not a high scoring wicket so in Sri Lanka's favour you'd think

 

[Hammersmith reborn]

Ffs 12 off first over, but Roy clean bowled in 2nd ! 13-1. Ball keeping low , must keep eye on the ball and not lose concentration

 

[Hammersmith reborn]

29--1 off 4 overs. They have good spinners that are sliwing the rate. Surprised Malan came in during the power play even though he's number 3. Thought we might have pushed Bairstow up

Oh dear
