    Another good warm-up win for England this morning v Pak, who beat India on Monday.
    SOme good figures from Danny Briggs again, his four overs only cost 15 runs, this coming after his first 3 overs v Oz on Monday only went for 15 (wont talk about his last over !) Him and Dernbach could be real stars this tournament. England have a very young team, and if they can keep together, then i would suggest they will be favourites in 2 years time - maybe not quite enough nous yet for this year, but you never know.

    Aus should win this match, but were ranked below ireland recently. Other than Watson and Warner, their batting aint great. I picked Pakistan at the start, but England kept them to below 100 earlier. SA have the best palyers but are bottlers... this is too tough to call. Any team excpet NZ and AUS can be expected to reach the final

    found the best bowling record in a world cup 20/20 match...

    5 for 6 runs - Umar Gul - New Zealand Vs Pakistan - 2009

    so 1 extra wicket for 2 runs. does that make it better or not?




    Yes bowling figures work by wickets taken.

    So a bowler taking 6 wickets for 50 runs would be seen as better figures than say 5 wickets for 4 runs.

    Incidentally Mendis is the only bowler to take 6 wickets in an international T20 game...and he's done it twice.


    Cheers for that.

    Surprisingly I never questioned that before to find out.

    Very frustrating that Ireland are off home despite not getting to finish their match, was a pretty reasonble start before the rain interrupted. Just doesn't seem fair.

    Starts next week in Sri Lanka - England are the current World Champs, however, sub-continent conditions will be very tricky.

    Who do you think will win?
    India are favourites, with SA 2nd, and England are actually 7th favourites at best price of 9-1.


    Myself, i'm gonna have a cheeky tenner each way on Windies.

    I had a sneeky feeling that was a good call you made.
    WI just hit 205 v Aussies. Gayle, Pollard, Bravo hitting 6's all over the place.

    I think WI may win, but of course SL have home advantage.

    Windies are tucked up on the wicket and can't get anything on the bat. Gayle out off 3 for 16 balls. #thefear

    what a start - Rampaul bowled Dilshan first ball - unplayable.

    This is going to be tight - SL 39-1 off 8, and Narine is bowling beautifully.

    SL now 60-4 off 12.1 - Jayawardene out.
    Windies now favourites as SL need more than 10 an over.
