England putting a huge marker down at T20. Aussies getting battered by Buttler??

As T20i results go, that is an absolute battering. I can’t remember the last time I saw a top side pulverised in that manner. England were absolutely massive in every aspect of the game.

Did you not watch England v WI in the first match? Or Afghanistan v Scotland?

I dont think its a coincidence that the two best attacks in the comp are those of the 2 most impressive teams so far. Both England and Pakistan have been excellent with the ball, giving their batsmen plenty of leeway.
Curiously, England have almost stumbled upon this bowling attack with no Archer and not a Curran in sight!
I think you’re rather missing my point. Australia are a cut above the Windies, and I’m not sure you can compare the result in a game between Afghanistan and Scotland with this afternoon’s game. In what way are Scotland a “top side”?! That game hardly set down a marker for the rest of the tournament, did it? Unless Afghanistan are amongst the favourites to win the tournament.

I hate those crowd enthusers “when I say blah, you say blah!” It’s a hangover from the IPL which I hate.

England are 100% the favourites for this tournament. The squad is the most complete with game winners. They are also in form too.
Nice little win over Sri Lanka for South Africa in a tight chase. Our hopes stay alive.

C'mon New Zealand. Chip off these runs for the good of the game.

Nothing quite like seeing the salty faces of the Indian fans as their bowlers are flogged around the park ?

Is there something that makes it sweeter when the two main countries of the franchise t20 are getting stuffed ?

Maybe the IPL's just a bit lame. All style and no substance.

Pretty much but I’m sure the BCCI and ICC will be finding some way that they can go straight to the final

I’m sure the BCCI are planning an appeal to get through
