Really need to get after Rankin here. Just can't seem to get the medium pace away.
Ok Luke, or not. Just smack it to cover.

Damn, Wright gone. Gotta hope someone can thrash a few here. 130 sounds so much better than 120.
Hands off!

Goodness, Morgan has such a good attitude. Great running.

Only 5 off the over. Good bowling from Rankin, but not great batting. Could do with Bresnan launching a few out of the park.

100 up at last. Morgan playing another blinder. He really is a gem of a batsman. Delighted he's in blue.

Daft batting from Bresnan. Should have had Swann in imo.

Doesn't look like we're getting to 125-130 unless Morgan has a blinder in the last over. Just have to hope the rain stays away, as if D/L gets involved they'll barely have to chase anything.

DWTA Prince. Unless DL has undergone significant change in the last year with respect to it's core concept, I don't think runs already scored by the chasing team are figured into determining the REVISED TARGET. In other words West indies could have well been 0-0 after 2.2 overs yesterday and they still would have to chase 60 in 6 overs (of course obviously harder task than yesterday's but nothing to do with DL) However had they lost 2 wickets, they'd be chasing 72 afaic.Well you were wrong.
West Indies scored those runs thinking they'd have 20 overs to bat, but they actually only had 6, so they're adjusted to take account of the heightened risk they would've taken had they known. That's why the target was smaller than most thought it'd be. Two overs of going of going at 13s or whatever when the RRR was about 9 means a ****load in a 6-over contest.
Would love to be proved wrong, particularly with a 'For Dummies' example.

Shocking, the Irish pinching South Africans.

Yeah, but I won't be complaining if that happens this time, we've batted really poorly and deserve to go out.

When total pie chuckers like Botha don't get murdered the pitch simply isn't fit for cricket.

Well, on the bright side if you look at the T20 batting averages of Ireland there doesn't appear to be much strength there. Let's just hope we bowl well and make them earn it.

I won't be complaining, but it'll certainly be frustrating. I thought England stood a geniunely good chance of winning this tournament. We just seem to bottle it when it really matters.
Morgan goes, but it was a fine knock given the conditions and the tripe served up by the rest of the line-up. Just hope it stays dry, as that's our best chance of getting a win here.
