Group E - England, India, South Africa, West Indies

Irfan bowled well in last game and he bats as well - so maybe he will replace Ishant against SAF!

I sure do hope so.

 

[grecian]

Thank gawd they didn't pick Ojha ahead of Ishant, he'd of got about 3-6 from his four, against this lot

 

[kingkallis]

Dimi wasted middle overs to be honest!

 

[tooextracool]

Why not just pick the spinner Ojha? Theres no point picking the pace bowler just for the sake of it. Ojha is on a different level as a bowler and 20-20 is quite possibly the only format where spin bowlers can bowl the bulk of the bowling without having to worry about the conditions.

Yeah, Dimi has been pretty disappointing. I think if we're going to push him up the order like that, it'd be better if fewer overs were left when he came in.

Absolutely agree. I think Ojha should come in for Ishant. Plus helps that SA cannot play left arm slowies. But for all that to count, India need to win here.

Dhoni should have gone with RP here - I am not that impressed with his captaincy so far in this T20 world cup...

 

[Shri]

Collingwood fails @ improvisation.

 

[S Chanderpaul]

Well done Collingwood.

 

[four_or_six]

Argh, Colly, stop playing that ridiculous shot. Just late cut/nick it if you want it to go to third man.

 

[gvenkat]

England are pure and unadulterated BS in any form of cricket T20 they are the best..

 

[Lostman]

whats disappointing is that he didn't even try to go after the bowling in the middle overs.

Don't think he's done any worse than the others we have got would tho tbh, and at least he's quick between the wickets.

Yeah, it's silly though, he came in at a time we really didn't want to lose another quick wicket.

 

[grecian]

Y'know what we really need is someone who can hit sixes and score big in 20/20.

Like Napier, but for some reason we keep him on the sidelines......

 

[kingkallis]

ROFL @ That Collingwood dismissal...

Man this English middle order is worst than Irish middle order...

 

[four_or_six]

Don't think he's done any worse than the others we have got would tho tbh, and at least he's quick between the wickets.

Yeah, that's true. For mine though, I'd rather have seen Collingwood in.

True! I thaught he was sent for the improvisation and he didnt even try - maybe they had other plans...

 

[BoyBrumby]

Why did Colly accept the captaincy again? It's obvious the responsibility effects his own game.

143/5 with over to go. Harby bowling. I'd take 152.

 

[superkingdave]

Yeah, that's true. For mine though, I'd rather have seen Collingwood in.

Might have done better, but **** i hate watching him bat, so so ugly.

Don't think its helped Dimi that he's been starved of the strike now he's played himself in either
