T20 World Cup

i was slagging our bowling off big time ,my wife had to leave the room .
but what a game of cricket ,drama right to the end .
i would like to say well played to both teams ,but,,,,,,,i dont think either bowling attack covered themselves with any glory.
great win ,now we need to build on it.
 
Joe Root, i must apologise. Earlier at work i questioned whether you should be in the team, whether you could score fast enough. I humbly admit i was wrong.

Unbelievable stuff. Just unbelievable.
 
Well played and I was totally wrong (nothing new there) but that's what annoys me, you never know what England team is going to turn up from game to game. No consistency, in any type of limited over cricket

That's half the beauty though. England were predictable before. But they were awful and way behind the times and were found out. Now they are capricious but capable of brilliance. In such a short tournament it could be enough to win the whole thing.

It could but if the bad England from the first match turn up again we'll be coming home. We need to dig out ugly wins a bit like NZ did earlier in the ow scoring game v Australia

Really? You needed that innings to prove that? Root is one of the best players we have, across all formats. Makes scoring look so easy.

What a run chase. Superb stuff. Gave them no chance after that fielding performance.

I wasnt sure that he was wholly suited to T20. Happy to have been proved wrong!
 
cracking effort this from Afghanistan chasing down 210 versus the Saffers, 103/2 after 10 and in the game, could get a bit squeaky for the saffers if they continue

I do like Mohammad Shahzad. Not afraid to try and tonk anything and in a very agricultural style.

The Afghans have given a good account of themselves in the tourney thus far.
