This was the last post I read before I went to sleep.

Tbf maybe he forgot the game ends when you reach the target. As if we’d have batted the 20, our total wouldn’t have been close to 180.

It was the last post before the West Indies went to sleep too. Their middle overs were like a moderately paced ODI innings.

Just flicked through the game without knowing the result. Yeah, not sure what happened when Rashid and Moeen came on, but it totally changed the game. Thought England batted sensibly at the start against Hosein, no daft, cheap wickets and then got stuck into the others. Still not sure if Wood is a good fit for this team. Topley can bowl better, too many wides but he's brought more control with the new ball.
With a big boost in the NRR, difficult to see how England don't make the semis now, assuming the USA game doesn't get rained off. But I fancy us to beat SA anyway.

We bowled alot better in this game - Wood is the only question mark for me.
Another great spell by Rashid - he doesn't get the recognition he deserves.
He's been a great white ball bowler for years and can bat a bit as well.
After a really shaky group stage, we needed this performance and uts a massive step in the right direction.

People were really underrating England after the loss to Aus, but to be honest, they’re the real deal in this format.

Second favourites behind Aus. Need to not have a tactical shambles if they reach the final though like in the Australia game.

Think India are overrated in T20. Better than England in the other two forms.
That's exactly my point.
But he doesn't get the recognition that the Indian spinners get or Rashid Khan or Zampa for example.

Feel Aus is a bit overrated in T20s. After all the only comp they ever won was a winning the toss competition. And feel they have peaked a bit too early. I’m predicting an India England final

Brandon King going down as he was just about getting on with things was big blow for us.
Gotta move on from Johnson Charles, his outdated style of batting doesn’t work in the slightest. He’s just a poor version of Dwayne Smith.
There was a period in our innings where we were just playing out the spinners instead of taking them on (barring Liam). We left some runs out there.
Whatever score we would have ended up with, 200-plus, England was definitely going to chase it down…we needed this back-to-earth moment.
Hopefully we comes back strong and beat USA and the Proteas, and probably see how NRR goes.
We are not out as yet.

Love how much whip Rutherford generates on his offside strokes. Don't think I've ever seen that sort of exaggerated wristwork.
That game was a lot closer than the final scorecard might suggest. 2/3 the way through that game England were favourites to win
