    But to be fair he deserves credit for having the biggest overstep for a no ball I have ever seen.
    He practically stood on the toes of the batsman facing him.

    Watching his eyes was fun. He looked everywhere but where he probably wanted to look.

    I know it probably sounds like an exaggeration after just the opening game, but the hosts/holders are in huge trouble already given the NRR hammering which they've suffered there.

    It's very possible that us, NZ and Aus will all pick up maximum points vs SL, Afghan and Ireland. In which case the top two is sorted by the three head-to-head matches between the three of us. So for Aus to have been battered in the first of those three... They most likely need to beat us and hope that NZ beat us too.

    Always fun to watch the Aussies get tanked on their own turf. :emoticon-0136-giggl

    The hosts and favourites beaten comfortably in their warm up series against us then destroyed by the Kiwi's in their opener.

    Going to be an open tournament.

    In theory, these tracks should suit England's powerful batting line up.

    Now that QDK and Miller found some form in SA's recent matches vs India, their batting looks very appealing too. At least five guys who can win a match with their own bat. But I'd still take ours - it's slightly deeper, and there are still question marks over Bavuma.

    There are plenty of dangerous looking batting line ups, but for sheer depth I'd take England's in a heartbeat. Buttler, Livingstone, Stokes, Hales, Brook, Malan and even Sam Curran are all very capable of tearing a bowling attack apart.

    I wouldn't say that was a good as Phillips', but it was still a very good catch.

    Stellar fielding from England apart from Hales dropping a sharp chance near the end.

    David Warner's dismissal :laugh:. A very good player but for all his mouth he always manages to do something that sits him back on his arse.

    The Afghanistan fielding is quite poor.
    Two straightforward catches dropped. Hales is a lucky boy
