T20 World Cup, Oct 17 - Nov 14

[Arthur Crabtree]

Rashid going for a few.

125 to win. England could make a porridge of this, but at a run a ball, they only need to keep their heads.

Some runs for Roy would be welcome.

Well done bowlers.

[bigfluffylemon]

Roy looks in the mood.

Probably put the mockers on him now.

[sussexpob]

This game looks done by now.

England looking strong

Well, he's out, but the game is won.

Must take some confidence from that display.

Bit too easy to be much fun , that win. England have to be happy though : all the bowlers have had some success now ; Roy played a terrific hand - which is good as he didn't really get going in the previous match or the warm ups - and Malan did what he's at number three for , which might be more important against better opponents.
Bangladesh will be disappointed with the way this event has gone for them. They came in with some apparent potential ; but to be honest , apart from flogging poor old PNG , they've been pretty much rubbish.

Need some sleep now. Quite like Scotland's chances next up but will watch tomorrow on replay so as not to hex them...

[Durhamfootman]

England's net run rate is 3.6

[Arthur Crabtree]

Scotland lose three wickets in the first over!

In the first four balls...

What was wrong with the second ball?

Indeed. They have been surprisingly abject. I thought they would be competitive in these conditions.

[Durhamfootman]

Scotland lose three wickets in the first over!

Scotland making a habit of losing 3 wickets in an over

[mikesiva]

Namibia win by four wickets.

[bigfluffylemon]

England's net run rate is 3.6

Two dominant performances. Tougher challenges to come, but you can't complain so far. England for once living up to the number 1 tag.

Beat Australia and they'll be all but assured of qualification given their NRR.

Another injury for the West Indies....

First it was Hosein replacing Allen, now it's Holder coming in for McCoy.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Aussies fighting back quite well v SL. Should be favourites at halfway.

Very familiar Aussie team. These players are experienced, given T20 international sides used to be quite volatile. I'm a big believer in experience.

Holder should have been in the squad from the start. I have no idea why he wasn't

Not got a great T20I record. Plus I think he spoke out about his sacking as test captain earlier in the year, may have not endeared himself to the powers that be.
