Gayle gone early. Fuck.

 

[DarkSithLord]

Shit. Come on Windes!

 

[Super_horns]

West Indies made hard work of that but good job by them.

Now hope we can take advantage tomorrow.

 

[Skinner]

I wouldn't be surprised if we turned NZ over either. Got to win tomorrow first though

I love this England team, never know what you're going to get.

 

[Destruction]

Hello all.

Are Sri Lanka any good? Cheers.

*Message ends*

 

[Skinner]

Not anymore really, they're going through a transition atm.

They're missing Malinga, and no long have the likes of Sanga, but Dilshan is a match winner. We get him cheaply and we should be fine, on the opposite of the spectrum, he's capable of hitting 80 off 50 and can single handedly beat us.

We're a better side though.

 

[hodge]

Same at Windies with Gayle really, if we'd got him early then would have been a very different story.

 

[Skinner]

You underestimate WI T20 my friend, it's an all round good side.

 

[Bobbin']

You underestimate WI T20 my friend, it's an all round good side.

Don't think they would have chased down 180 odd without him on that day though.

 

[JoshBCFC]

New Zealend looking really poor at the moment, 82-2 13 overs gone.

 

[Super_horns]

Mustafizur.looks potentially a top class bowler for the future.

5 wickets for 22.

 

[JJH]

Toss lost. Put into bat. Fuck.

 

[Skinner]

Dilshan gone in the first over!

 

[JJH]

Fantastic start, Dilshan gone cheaply!

Had us just ahead at HT, we'll see.

 

[JJH]

YEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSS

That was sickening!

 

[Skinner]

Super last over from Stokes. We made hard work of that!

 

[Super_horns]

Bring on the Kiwis!

'Afghanistan are the strongest associate nation'

Morgan slamming Ireland there, good lad Eoin

It's not really slamming Ireland, is it? More calmly stating something that is obviously true.

 

[Skinner]

WI struggling against Afghanistan, they don't get any more than 101 and we finish top. Though I'd rather player NZ than the winner of Australia and India.

 

[DarkSithLord]

The Afghans fully deserve their win. They have had a excellent tournament.

 

[JJH]

Afghanistan beat Group One winners West Indies - it's just pure poetry.

 

[Super_horns]

Strong start by the Aussies - 50 off 5 overs.

India really need to up their game.

 

[JJH]

Australia going hell for leather against India - for once I'd love the Convicts to win, an England vs Oz final would be fantastic.

 

[JJH]

Watson rolling back the years here, having a fantastic game.

 

[Ciderhead]

This is going to the wire

 

[Ciderhead]

India got to win from here. Running between the wickets from Kholi and Dhoni has been ridiculous, hitting it straight to the boundary fielders and taking 2

 

[Skinner]

This is one of the finest knocks I've seen here from Kohli, so clever and precise.

This World Cup has been brilliant already

 

[JJH]

bottlejob Aussies!

 

[Ciderhead]

Not really bottling tbf, that always looked like going to the death right from the start. Just outstanding from Kohli.

Have to laugh at the Indian commentator getting carried away though. Should get man of the tournament right there apparently

 

[Ciderhead]

Loving it. Always helps when England turn up as well
