T20 Cricket World Cup

Nice to see our bowlers showing up for a change!

If we can chase down South Africa, this should be a much more gettable total!

He says, jinxing it into a glorious collapse...

Well it isn't a SA track but, all the same, it feels like NZ are 20 below par.

Largely thanks to top class death bowling and a great fielding display. I can't remember a single misfield in the entire 20 overs.

England's to lose

Agreed. A great recovery from England, however .. NZ probably have the best attacking batting squad in the current T20 game.

So who has the best defensive batting squad

Sorry don't get what you are saying.

Edit: Sorry yes, ignore my ramblings.. I meant attacking squad as a whole...

Ignore me - it was a counterpoint to attacking batting squad - and the however,

cracking start...

Roy of the Overs doesn't waste any time, does he! 'Kin 'ell.

Sangakarra (who is a great pundit on Sky btw) got this right. England should try to get off to a flyer in the first 6 overs. Get ahead of the run rate and then they can afford to nudge and nurdle in the tricky middle overs

Hopefully get to 60-70 off the first 6 without more than a wicket or two down

 

[Dayvo]

4th over - 2 runs off the 1st 3 balls, then 11 runs off the next 3. Magnificent stuff.

 

[User482]

60 from 5!

Next challenge!

England making it unnecessarily interesting.

FFS, can't we ever win at a canter...
