World T20 England vs Afghanistan

[Everest]

Come on Jordan

 

[Titanic]

Surprising that the midget with the low arm action doesn't get any bounce on a subcontinent wicket....

Who would have thought it??

 

[Bold Seagull]

I'm actually in a weird way enjoying a very English batting collapse straight after a record breaking innings. Fantastic stuff England, not many teams could do this...

 

[Papa Lazarou]

What score is defendable?

 

[fleet]

Are we going to use all 20 overs?

 

[Moshe Gariani]

Chris Jordan in before the end of the 10th over

Sent in to use up some balls

 

[OzMike]

What an utter embarrassment.

 

[Simster]

What score is defendable?

I started wondering this long ago.

I'd say 130 might be a tough ask under pressure. Anything less than 100 and we may as well not bother.

 

[Bold Seagull]

What score is defendable?

They've got 153 and 172 in their previous matches. Who knows, but they've got a bit of batting. Rashid and Ali will have to bowl out of their skins if we have anything less than 140.

 

[OzMike]

This game is lost, call themselves professionals, bet they thought it would be a walk in the park.

[Moshe Gariani]

Another bad over for England.

Can't even tick at 6 an over.

Dont care myself, its not proper cricket. ( I am a great lover of cricket)

 

[Titanic]

England 65-6 (12 overs)

130 is a long way away (8+ an over)... and it is unlikely to be enough.

 

[Titanic]

4 singles off the bat in the 13th (lucky we got 5 wides to add to that).

74-6 (13 overs)

 

[The Wizard]

Absolutely tragic.

 

[Simster]

Another bad over for England.

Can't even tick at 6 an over.

This is the least of our issues.

The highlights of that comedy over are now up:

Can anyone explain to me what the fuddy ruck Morgan thinks he's doing there?

 

[OzMike]

Glad it wasn't the second game of the day as that finishes at 1.30am here.

 

[Everest]

This is diabolical

 

[Moshe Gariani]

4 wides is a big bonus

Broadly speaking we have two chances (not two hopes) remaining.

One is an excellent end to our batting that sees us up to a competitive 135+.

The other is a bit of a miracle defending a lower score.

Bookies have it England 11/10 and Afghan. 4/6.
