Dont fancy Stokes with the last over. Need a wicket really

Still fancy us.
Great from Jordan and Stokes at the end there.
Fair play to Stokes - didn't fancy him.
If England bowl first in the semi and final they can win it.
Nice win that.
Nope. Rashid and Ali bowled absolute dross.
That lad that's donned the Sri Lankan domestic T20 looked good didn't he? The shank to midwicket off the handle of the bat was a highlight.
What should they have bowled instead of the deliveries they did? No full tosses or long hops. Rash was backing himself to induce the top edge which wins the match there and then, Moeen was bowling flatter but they just got hold of him.
Sri Lanka made the decision to chance their arm against both and pulled it off, just good batting I'm afraid.
There was clearly no turn in the pitch... they should have bowled a little fuller and tried to get under the bat, I'm afraid. Whatever, we won.
We have a tendency to just slate whoever goes for runs, it's not always the bowler's fault in T20. Jordan bowled more bad balls than both of them combined, and he took 4 for 28.
Again I think Morgan's captaincy of the spinners wasn't great. Should really have got them on earlier. Even when he does he seems to bowl them in an eight over block. Mix it up a bit don't let the batsmen get their eye in
I like chucking one on in the 7th over. A lot of teams do that. I would even burn Moeen in the powerplay if they have a left hander in. Was surprised we didn't do that against Gayle, who takes a while to get his eye in generally, but we are still, despite the exuberance, a very 'plans' based team.
Yeah it is still all a bit orthodox in the field despite the huge strides made with the bat. I like the idea of bowling Jordan overs 14, 16, 18, 20. Plunkett and Willey up front and get the spinners in early.
Looking forward to India/Aus tomorrow. Massive.
Arnold reached peak cunt with his 'not only them' comment. You'd like to think Lloyd and Hussain troll the shit out of his off camera.
I was ready to launch an invasion when he said that. Absolute snidey prick. At least he didn't manage to slip in any of his usual Man Utd banter.
If we beat India, they're out and that'd be hilarious.
Get on board.
Don't worry, everyone's piled into the ute for this one.
Gayle hasn't even bothered with this game against Afghanistan, in which 124 are required by the West Indies on a rank slow pitch.
West Indies need to be bowled out for 97 or fewer here to get the New Zealand semi instead of the Australia/India one...
Willey fined for telling one of the Sri Lankans to 'fuck off'. Should be given a bonus if anything.
Bravo gone. Game on
I can't think of a more enjoyable team to watch than Afghanistan. Really hope that two division structure comes in asap so we get to see more of them.
"Young" leggie Rashid Khan looks a player
If the rate of their rise in the past 5 years is anything to go by they will be the best team in the world by 2022.
Already better than Zimbabwe, outperformed Bangladesh by a mile and have been "in" all four games this tournament which is more than you can say for some of the others.
I'd love them to win this match.
That really is the mother of all bullshit decisions.
The keeper there.
Shahzad is a complete legend.
EDIT:
Shahzad you beast
Fucking catch son. Fielder's killed himself in the process, and Inzamam nearly smiled.
Inzy doesn't approve of that sort of extravagant fielding.
Nearly there lads
Great scenes
What heroes.
South Africa have the highest net run rate in this group. Chin up, eh, boys.
Fair play to WORLD BOSS there, nice touch
Outstanding.
This is the first time I've heard the Indian national anthem.
What the fuck is it?
I don't mind it but it's hilariously at odds with the INDIA MASSIVE ROCKSTAR SUPERPOWER thing they have going on around their cricketers.
The pindrop silence at opposition boundaries is the best sound in sport.
The absolute pinnacle of the genre:
Gavaskar's having a hard time explaining this start.
Trashwin going the distance is another happy time in cricket.
Yes Finchy. Bloody good rep.
Ashwin going around the park here
Nowhere near it. Bent umpiring.
Come on Maxwell. Smash these cunts.
If MS goes up they always give it out. Not even a noise.
Australia have been so bad at coping with any sort of pace off the ball here. Always through their shots so early. It's not the joke pitches down under now, chaps.
Absolute mess since the powerplay
Hmm. Don't think it's a wicket that lends itself to chasing 160, but also don't think Australia have the bowlers to defend it, and Kohli/Dhoni piss most chases.
Don't know how I'd cope with an England v India final.
Calling a super over now.
Yes Watto mate
Kohli/Dhoni still in the house. Dhoni despicable bottom hand hacks for six very much in the game here.
Yuvraj pretending he's injured so he doesn't have to run twos is poor. Kohli is narked.
Yuvraj shouldn't be anywhere near this squad. Probably not in their first three squads.
Some absolutely baffling chat about player names there.
