    I don't think I have ever seen Hetmyer play an innings to justify the hype.

    Australia bowled well enough but they made hard work of the chase, Warner is still out of form, not the IPL version of Maxwell though it's the first match. Agree with you though, it will be a surprise if either are in the semis though given how the WI are playing today, you never know.

    England immense so far, some so so shots from the Windies though.

    Oh well, give me an easy life and a peaceful death.

    west Indies might as well throw the kitchen sink at it... as they are now prodding and blocking they’ll be lucky to get 80 runs on the board...

    leaving a RRR of 4 or less. Not competitive.

    Morgan is quite good at this captaincy lark.


    WI 49 for 9

    The stadium announcers are, what I believe the young people would call "cringe".

    55 all out, not going to be defendable or close.

    England caught very well. WI were such a shambles it's hard to make a judgement on the bowling. I mean, the second over of spin rarely works never mind Moeen bowling his four in a row.

    West Indies showing some fight here, England throwing away wickets. That's a catch! Finger under the ball at all times IMO - has to give that!

    England are lucky they are not chasing many more, that was a good catch, and I don’t know why the decision took so long

    Yes, always out, not sure why the TV umpire needed about 27 replays of 8 different camera angles.... bizarre.

    Good result for England. Made a meal of it for sure. Chasing NNR was the right approach though. Both teams batting aside from Buttler will be happy to forget this game ever happened.

    6 wickets in hand and almost 12 overs left very handy. After the score in the qualifiers and the Aus SA game today high scores may not be the flavour of this tournament.

    Oh well, give me an easy life and a peaceful death.

    Sri Lanka have recovered well after the double wicket over by Shakib and losing Hasaranga the over after that. Well placed to get them now.

    Bangladesh catching letting them down.

    India are being humbled here. Pakistan 125-0 in 15.1 overs. Below a run a ball needed now.

    Scotland falling apart to the bowling of Mujeeb. He has four. 37-5 end of the powerplay.

    It's very difficult for an Associate team to play against quality spinners. It requires exposure to them over a long period of time.

    That's one of the big difference between us and the test nations, the quality of spinners.

    Did Jimmy Anderson come up Scotland's game plan against spin. Sweep and reverse sweeping every ball. Total performance by Afghanistan. Looking very good to surprise a few in this group. Could see Australia struggling to cope with these spinners.

    Afghanistan are well suited for T20 cricket. They are 8th top ranked team. Nabi is top ranked T20 all-rounder, 3rd & 5th top ranked bowlers, 10th ranked batter.
