Stokes is a dogshit T20 cricketer. He has no brain, and this is the format where you most need one.

Jesus how many wides?
Hopefully we do the decent thing and lose to Afghanistan.
What? Test cricket...Originally Posted by Jimmy Floyd
Nah. Test cricket demands concentration. T20 demands the ability to think on your feet and react to situations.
Afghanistan win the toss and bat first. Words to strike fear into the hearts of non-dons everywhere.
I was hoping for so much more when I saw the headline 'SL pick Jaysuriya'.
Damn.
We're playing them last, as our misery will be in need of compounding by then with a thumping 10 wicket defeat.
How fat is Malinga?
Slow start from the 'Stan, bowling is there strength but you'd think they need 170+
I'm so delighted with how my unemployment has been timed.
All I've seen live is a snatch of Afghanistan v Zimbabwe. Living every ball on cricinfo though. Something glorious about the format: Herath to some renegade, OUT and I imagine his 'just doing my job, but I could kill you' bank manager/army sergeant celebration.
Herath top five cricketer of the past decade. Love him so much.
Some decent tap from skipper Asghar Stanikzai here. Not enough runs on the board though
For me, Clive, 145 is well in it if they bowl well.
Lusty blows at the end there. Like with England yesterday, seems a bit of a shame they didn't launch a couple overs early.
Game on though
Fuck knows how they got this many though. 51/4 off 11.
Some basic errors in the field have made this a bit easier for Sri Lanka. At least 12 runs chucked away in the last few overs.
Solid effort overall I reckon. With the amount of games they get against top 8 sides (none, really) it's hard to pin down canny sods like Dilshan and Angelo.
Reckon they get in two of the other three games as well.
LBWatson opening
New Zealand winning the tournament with their spin attack would be fun.
Kiwis on it so far playing on a couple of tricky surfaces. If their batting fires when they get to flatter pitches no reason why they can't win it. Would be good.
Our bowling attack just isn't suited to the conditions. It's not why we lost today, but it's certainly why we're not in with a prayer of winning the competition.
New Zealand winning the thing would be great.
Batting second
DEW FACTOR
Jesus fucking Christ. At least try to bowl in the right areas... don't just sling it down as fast as possible.
Innocuous medium pacers getting absolutely destroyed. Thought they might pick Plunkett for something a little bit different
Hahaha Jesus this over from Jordan.
Out of the tournament already then
250 on the cards
Fucking hell...
Should peg them back now with that chancer De Villiers coming in
Nothing he can do about the absolute piefest from his seamers in the powerplay, but this is fairly average captaincy from Morgan - just bowling the spinners (who have actually been decent) in a one big block in the middle overs. Now it'll be back to the one paced attack at the death and they'll get like 300
Fucking hell this is grim.
Bowl another full toss, you twat.
"Small margin of error" says Nicholas Knight. Yeah those knee high full tosses and wide long hops only just off being good deliveries
My God, just take Jordan out back and shoot the fucker now.
Genuinely hard to believe he and Topley couldn't have bowled worse if they tried.
Absolute disgrace in the field as well
What.
Fucking hell. I'm not sure what to make of this.
Saffer spinners are bowling dross, should have even more already. Frustrating, Especially with Buttler still in the shed
Whichever way this goes the batters have been pretty fucking excellent.
Absolutely absurd. Root for Chancellor, get him on the plane to the Euro 2016 anything everything what a man, what a player.
I think you'll find that's Sir Joe Root to you.
Root gone. Argh.
Don't you dare Third Umpire, don't you fucking dare.
Fucking hell lads calm down yeah
For fuck's sake.
New Zealand are nailed on to get to the final and then meekly surrender against either India or Australia.
Great stuff. Gonna record the highlights so I can watch that Jason Roy on drive in the first over again and again
Quality wobble at the end
What the fuck was that last over?
That was brilliant fun. Further proof cricket>football, if I needed any more convincing.
Called Root years ago. What a cutie
Had dinner with Henry Olonga today. Top, top bloke.
I'm not sure what's worse, Sri Lanka dropping catches to ensure that Gayle stays in the hutch, or the spectators booing because they don't get to see 'The Universe Boss'
