Shut the fuck up and get on with the game. You got beat because at the vital moment - when the umpires were trying to get the game past the 5 over mark - your opponents were able to do what they had to do to get ahead on D/L. Credit to them.

Have to say that there have been some cracking entertaining matches so far in this tournament, very good to watch.

England look good in their bright red shirts. But it is the only thing that does look good in that squad. Get rid of Giles, the captain Broad,and the main bowlers apart from Jordon,replace them with Prince Philip,Vera Lynn,Stevie Wonder and Aretha Franklin,who I'm sure could do a better job. Dernbach needs an Asbo put on him,saying he is not allowed within 5 miles of a game of Cricket that England are playing in.

You can never predict the outcome of a 20/20 game .....I agree with you regarding Giles and Dernbach ....possibly Broad as a captain ....but he is still a top class England cricketer in every form of the game as a player ...

Agree about Broad. its just him has a captain in the short formats I have a problem with.

Yes true , the better option would be Morgan as captain in 20/20 ....at the end of the day fast bowlers don't seem to make good captains in practice

That performance makes me look foolish,but I stand by what I said about,Giles Broad and Dernbach. In T20 one man can win a game - and today that man was Alex Hales. And it was glorious! But there are problems galore. In particular, the balance of the side is all wrong. We are into the bowlers at no.7 - and that's with two decent bowler batsmen at 3 and 6. Why are we bowling so much seam - spin is what is needed in the sub-continent. Today Bresnan and Dernbach went for 48 and 42 respectively. Ali bowled just one over (the first) for just four runs and Bopara (ok not spin - but very effective slow medium) didn't bowl at all. So concerns over Giles and Broad are as valid as ever. Likewise the selection of a four man pace attack. As for Bresnan, not a good enough bowler or batter and today at least, pretty shit in the field as well. Coach and captain owe Hales a big drink tonight. He got them out of jail with a remarkable innings.

Wow! What a pleasure to watch that was. Brilliant innings from Morgan and especially Hales.

still have a difficult job to qualify but i thought they were very unlucky to lose the 1st game to the d/l method[clearly needs to be changed for t20] the batsmen got us out of a hoe today but i can understand the bowlers being a bit despondant when you clearly have someone caught and the third umpire rules it out you must wonder what the fuck is going on?plenty of dropped catches but the ball was slippy with the dew.

Jonty Rhodes just came out with a beautiful term regarding Chris Gayle's footwork "Stuck on the crease, feet in the toilet..." I love it! Listened to the radio whilst watching the England game yesterday and after the third umpires ridiculous decision to declare that Lumb's catch wasn't a clean one, there was a decision to be made as to whether the ball that had been smashed over long on was 4 or 6 runs. Simon Mann said "Oh dear, it's going upstairs to the third man, he'll probably give a leg bye or something"
