Fair enough if that's your opinion. It's my least favourite form of the game but i just enjoy cricket and i like seeing the "minor" countries competing.

20/20 is ruining cricket Great for counties wrong for internationals Unfortunately mate it's here and it's here to stay , we've just got to put up with it and hope that it does not surpass Test Cricket some day as the major form of the game.....I don't think it will , not for some time anyway

Test matches are my favourite but I do enjoy T20 and much prefer that form to ODI.
Really looking forward to this tournament despite England having next to no chance!
Very tough to call - but I'll go for the Windies to retain their trophy.

Keep picking Luke Wright and Jade Dernbach and we've got no fucking chance..... 1st warm up game went well - we hit a six! The fact that those pesky Windies chased down our score with four overs to spare and seven wickets in hand should not detract from this magnificent achievement. Well done England. Looking good to regain our T20 crown.

I cant see where a win is going to come from in our group,that includes the qualifier, if it's someone like Ireland.

Who do you guys fancy to win it? I can only see a sub-continent team winning so I've gone for Sri Lanka each way.

Maybe... Let's be optimistic for the next few minutes and hope our two best hitters of the ball make hay. The good news is NZ have no tricky spinners.

Morgan really is struggling for form.
We cope loads better with pace

The Duckworth–Lewis method is not a nice method sometimes.

The Duckworth–Lewis method is not a nice method sometimes. Got to be impressed with Brendon McCullum though. He knew rain was coming and hit the sixes needed to get them ahead on D-W. Hitting sixes is what T20 is all about; teams that have players who can do it generally win.

I think it's laughable that 5 overs in the second innings constitutes a match. How to degrade the game of cricket even more.
Can't wait for the 5/5 tournament in a few years.

The D/L Rule should not apply until the side batting 2nd,has batted at least 50% of the overs.
