The Windies players need to have a long look at themselves. 150 would probably win them the game on this pitch. 120 might and you can get that mostly pushing singles. But 60 definitely won't.

In danger of getting ahead of myself and at risk of jinxing it. But... if we are chasing a low total it could be perfectly set for Malan to anchor it.
Also would get Morgan in early for an opportunity to find some form with relatively low pressure
Morgan and Malan are batting at 6 and 7 respectively! Says it all that we don't think Malan can bat at 3 because he might not score quick enough to chase 56 in 20 overs!

We obviously dropped Malan down the order because we wanted to boost our NRR which qualifying for the semi final might rest on. Totally disrespectful to do that to the World Number One T20 batsman though.
West Indies are a dangerous side, but we gave them an absolute trouncing today. Close to humiliation. There was also nothing in the other match that should have England worried. Neither side in the South Africa Australia match looked world class. All-round, a very, very good start. And, with players still to come back in, we're looking incredibly strong.
I posted it on the wrong thread but I thought a punch had been thrown. It hadn't but there was plenty of pushing and shoving. I rather think disciplinary action will follow

But I wouldn't tinker with the batting line-up.
Has anyone ever seen such brainless cricket?
Some good ones as well mind you
We've had worse days
39-4
It's a nail-biting ending ...
Both Bangladesh and Sri Lanka are capable of causing an upset in our group.
