Just seen Lord Patel's interview on Sky Sports... what a great bloke. Very impressive, very Yorkshire too!

Very Colin Graves stooge too

I don't enough about any of them to be able to comment, but it's the correct first step surely?

It is the correct first step, shame its about their 35th step but yes it is finally progress

Still very cynical here about the end goal and focus here sadly

My concern is that such a swift turnaround will lead to a minimal penalty for the club. The ECB should be throwing the book at them for this but methinks it'll be a minimal punishment after this. Then again, the ECB should be having the book thrown at them by the DCMS but that probably won't happen either.

Lets hope the toss isnt that important!!!! (think tomorrows be moreso)

 

[Billysboots]

Not looking too good so far.

I hate the reverse sweep
I suspect it’s produced a lot of wickets this tournament.
On a side note, I find Malan so boring

Got to go big the last 6 overs with plenty of wickets left

Hope I'm wrong but I think we're going to be 15 or 20 runs short of a competitive total here.

Seems an ok score, not a great one, on a tricky deck. Lets hope the dew stays away and it remains tricky. Do worry a little we may not have gone hard enough early enough

Well the 3rd ball was definitely better than the first...

Not difficult, to be fair!

Don't think we wanted to get Williamson out. Should've let him carry on with a strike rate below 100.

 

[Lord Tyrion]

It's embarrassing how many balls,are bouncing off Buttler. It's 20:20 but even so ?

Fabulous from Livingston.

 

[Blue in Munich]

And unfortunately undone by Jordan.

 

[Hobbit]

Oh dear

Sadly looking spot on.

Well played the Kiwis, please win the final.

brilliant chase from the Kiwis, fair play to them
