Group 1 (Afghanistan, Australia, England, New Zealand, Sri Lanka, Ireland)

Shanaka playing an Arun Finch innings there without kicking on. Woeful really

Seems to be a requirement for captains in this tournament.

 

[Burgey]

Fmd I thought our middle order was shithouse. This is barely club level batting

Their middle order froze. Hasaranga should of come in.

 

[Daemon]

Might be a genuine tactic to not try and get guys like Finch, Bavuma, Nissanka, KW, Gulbadin etc out if their respective sides insist on playing them

Add KL Rahul to that list

Each and every one of these ***** has since gone on to play a good knock

Tbf no one has ever thought you’re a good judge mate ?

England would've bitten their arms off for this kind of target. Dreadful second half of the innings. If you can't chase 140 odd you don't deserve to go through.

 

[Burgey]

Mark Wood suddenly gaining 5kph in pace this year in T20s at the age of 31 is surely all down to good nutrition.

 

[Burgey]

That’s well under par you’d think but SL will defend it against a very nervous England outfit well known for choking under pressure

 

[Jay London]

142 to win is exactly where you would have wanted Malan in early.

You shouldn't really need him. Stokes at three, then three hitters below him. Malan at seven or even below Curran or Woakes.

If England manage to fight their way into the 10's before getting rissoled, they will have done well.

 

[Burgey]

Magnificent cut away shots there of iconic landmarks in the world’s most beautiful city

Look at this montage. There’s nowhere else like it.

Everyone needs a montage. Even Rocky had a montage.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Dragged it back well after they got off to a flyer.

 

[morgieb]

Jesus. How do you get from 1/50 off 5 to 8/140 off 20? Crap batting.

 

[ashley bach]

25-30 short, but ya never know

 

[kevinw]

Chase this in 6 overs and England top the group. It's on!

 

[Burgey]

So good england didn’t get the home dressing room. Nor should they

Jesus. How do you get from 1/50 off 5 to 8/140 off 20?

Crap batting.

Crap batting.

Yes.

Great bowling
