OT Cricket T20 World Cup

[straightatthewall]

Best in the world at this format.

Yep. Incredible display of shot making and hitting.

Although Morgan's not been fluent, it's been a decent knock on a tricky surface. Could get his mojo back.

 

[NewburyOne]

After an early wobble this has been an impressive response. Sets the game up perfectly.

 

[Jaffa_The_Hut]

Decent knock that from Butler.

Amazed Moeen is in where’s Livi?

 

[Albert Ross]

Should have sent Livingstone out for a final blast.

 

[Jaffa_The_Hut]

What a fantastic century.

 

[NewburyOne]

Stunning, 164 is a decent score, Sri Lanka will need to bat very well to chase that down.

 

[CestrianSeasider]

Incredible stuff!

 

[straightatthewall]

The first male England player to score a ton in all 3 formats.

 

[Chunkylad]

He’s brutal. What a player Jos is

 

[Leither]

Wow . . Buttler has really found his best form for this tournament . . what a player!!

 

[jack_bfc]

Morgan and Butler - run out 2-1..

 

[Jaffa_The_Hut]

Sri Lanka although ahead at this stage are 57/4.

 

[SeasideKurt]

Sri Lanka falling behind here.

56-4.

 

[NewburyOne]

Sri Lanka are going to end up all out, they will do well to get close with 5 down already.

 

[Jaffa_The_Hut]

101/5 after 13.3 overs Sri Lanka still in this don’t kid yourselves.

 

[fcblackpool]

What happened to Mills? A tactical injury?

 

[Jaffa_The_Hut]

What happened to Mills? A tactical injury?

Was being knocked about a good bit.

Right quad for Mills.

Think we need to take one of these wickets here or it’s going to be a very close finish.

 

[sirjames]

What a piece of fielding

 

[NewburyOne]

Stunning relay catch, still game on but you fancy it has to be this pair for Sri Lanka. It's been a really good game after the easy trouncing of the Aussies in the last match.

 

[sirjames]

And another

 

[Jaffa_The_Hut]

Butler just outstanding.

 

[Wizaard]

Great over for us so far.

 

[Jaffa_The_Hut]

Crucial over this from Moeen Ali.

 

[Jaffa_The_Hut]

Surely we can all relax now?

 

[jack_bfc]

On a side note, the Sri Lankans have the better looking women in the crowd.

 

[Wizaard]

Sri Lanka 4/10 over the last three overs.

 

[fcblackpool]

Lancs could do with someone like Buttler.

 

[Wizaard]

Game over.

 

[Jaffa_The_Hut]

From 129/5 to 137 all out.

Excellent finish from England as was looking like a very tight finish with 3 overs to go.

 

[1966_and_all_that]

So much for freedom of choice!

When you represent your country there are issues that go beyond personal freedom of choice.

When you represent your country there are issues that go beyond personal freedom of choice.

Why?

 

[1966_and_all_that]

Why?

Because you are representing the collective will of the people not your own personal enjoyment. But then, you knew that already. Don't be obtuse.

Load of rubbish

 

[1966_and_all_that]

Load of rubbish

As an arch individualist I don't expect you to have any understanding of the duty felt towards the nation/group of each of the members of that group. As such, I take your dismissal with the shed-load of salt it deserves.

Load of rubbish again - including your salt!

zzzzzzzz......

 

[Jaffa_The_Hut]

S A v England underway in our last group game.
Decent start by S A 50/1 after 7 overs.

 

[Leither]

7 an over and only one six in the first 8 overs isn’t enough to challenge this England team . . could do with a wicket or two mind

 

[Macseasider]

It shouldn't be. But who knows on this dreadful pitch.

 

[Macseasider]

Woakes is having a mare of epic proportions. Getting spanked all over the ground. They are gonna be close to 200 here. And they wouldn't be anywhere near but for Woakes.

Let’s hope they get 180+

Bowl us out for under120 and knock the Aussie’s out

 

[Macseasider]

England's fielding has been shocking too. Almost like they want SA to win lol

 

[Jaffa_The_Hut]

190 required to win.

Big ask of our batting line up but more than capable.

Thing is do we want the Aussies through?

 

[Leither]

Decent score but with our batting my money would be on us . . Decent challenge mind

 

[1950`spoolfan]

England definitely got rattled in the field in those last few overs. They are 2nd favourites in this game now.We surely can`t expect Buttler to do it again ......can we?

They have plenty of fire power - not just Buttler.

This England team are NEVER second favourites

 

[hertfordseasider]

Roy off with a calf strain, that's really bad news, he was on fire. Come on England stuff this lot.

 

[Leither]

A real shame for Roy but with Bairstow and Livi we have plenty of opening options

 

[Macseasider]

The fielding has cost us this game. Must have given them 20 runs in their innings in the last 5 overs by trying to be clever.

You don`t half half post some rubbish. England made a very good effort but no team has ever scored that many runs to win a T20 at that ground. After SA got 189 England were clearly 2nd favourites.
