Off Topic T20 World Cup

[sb_73]

Good show to get to the semis, though T20 is a bit of a lottery. Which means we can win it.

Big problem though Rashid and Ali are costing England, where other teams spinners are creating huge pressure.

Both are included as spinners who can bat a bit but they're not top notch specialist spinners and at the highest level they are found out under pressure...

Great match.
Matthews may well have won it had he not done his hammy.
Fantastic death bowling from Jordan and Stokes.

Bring on the semi. Anything can happen.

Well done England.

Rashid's bowling was a big success in the Big Bash.

Rashid's bowling was a big success in the Big Bash.

But not here where it matters, it was similar in the tests last summer, he blew hot and cold and seems to lack consistency. We've never replaced Graeme Swann although there are a couple of highly promising youngsters coming through...

I was watching the score at work, looked like it got a bit squeaky in the last few overs.

England v Kiwis, where's your money?

England v Kiwis, where's your money?

If England are to beat the Kiwis, they will need Hales, Root, and Buttler all firing together.
Cant see the England attack containing the Kiwi batsman.

Looking forward to India V Australia tomorrow, should be a great match.

Kiwis are the form side, but England definitely have enough match winners to worry them.

And well done to the women who have a better chance to win the cup

Our bowling attach does worry me, Rashid especially.

If the batsmen all click they can pile on the runs, but we are not very economical with ball in hand

True enough.

 

[Hoops Eternal]

True enough.

We lack a top class spinner, there has been no real replacement for Graeme Swann

 

[Hoop-Leif]

England Women need 133 to beat Australia and get to the final

 

[Hoop-Leif]

England ladies going great guns so far

 

[QPR999]

90 - 2 from 14 overs. They'll have to do well to lose this now.

 

[qprbeth]

Beginning to "do well" now 999s

 

[Hoop-Leif]

Oh no England......collapsing like a house of soggy cards caught in a typhoon

 

[Hoop-Leif]

Think they've blown it big time

 

[Hoop-Leif]

What a collapse......poor stuff
