    Well the English have every right to be confident about their team in the short forms of the game. Another team destroyed last night.

    T20 seems like the only format you that have to back immediate form and PAK and themslves riding high. Still a few teams who on their day can beat both (including us) but a great start to the tournament by both.

      Wow, it seems the BBC have hired some Herald writers. Get a load of this pile of wank. Even the Aussies applauded it? Englands team is better than have to resort to this sort of writing

      FWIW I watched Butter's innings. It was really good. It wasn't even a great innings, let alone an all-time great innings. He didn't dominate right from the start, he played his way in, then hit some excellent shots.

      Absolutely no idea why they are going on about it so much. It looks pathetic.

        An earlier game to watch some live cricket. Scotland won the toss and will field. The same NZ XI are playing.

                        The difference that one big partnership makes to an innings.

                          Phillips finding it very difficult to middle it.

                            Scotland have some excellent bowlers, and some proper shit ones.

                            No idea why Sharif didn't get a 3rd over earlier on.

                            Same as Pakistan, we seem to be struggling with timing a bit. Quite a few mishits.

                              Looks like he's trying too hard

                                Guptill is completely fucked. But still gets 2 6's.

                                It's really poor captaincy by Scotland. Sharif 2-2 after 2. Captain holds him back for the later ones. Goes for 17. Needed to keep the pressure on.

                                  2-2 after 2 and now goes for 17 in his 3rd. That’s T20 for ya

                                    @majorrage it’s a fine line in this format. You want to keep your good bowlers with 1 or maybe 2 overs up your sleeve.

                                      Guptill is completely and utterly fucked but is still hitting 6's!

                                      Doubt he will field at the start of the innings!

                                          Sort of. If you are a minnow though and you have one of the bigger teams in a bit of trouble, surely you continue to press. It's unlikely you'll win by trying to keep the score down. Really needed the wickets.
