England :haha:

To only lose 6 wickets and not reach a low score like 140 odd is laughable

They are too scared to take risks and would rather play Test pace in the main format of the game :doh:

England made 150-7 in the second t20, Pakistan are 36-4 currently.

Bopara went for 1. :haha:

Bairstow made 60. :bow:

50-5. :dance:

77-6, Misbah went for 13.

98-7. Azam goes for 21 off 15.

111-8, Pakistan need 40 off 20. :lol:

Nelson well and truly struck. 111-9, Saeed Ajmal run out on 0 from 0. :haha:

Pakistan bowled out for 112, England win by 38 runs. :bow:

1-1 in the series. :popcorn:

India lose again to Australia and are all but knocked out of the triangular tournament. They have to thrash Sri Lanka (win with a bonus point) and hope that Aussies beat Sri Lanka as well.

Sehwag gets out cheaply again. Sehwag's batting record since boxing day (start of Australian tour)

5, 0, 20, 10, 23, 4, 18, 62, 0, 10, 30, 4, 67, 7

Average: 18.57

This is an Test match opener. To put that in perspective, Graeme Swann has a Test average of 22.62.

He is such a fat, talentless, waste of space. An utter failure. I bet his mother wishes he was never born.

He's a genuine disgrace. India's top-middle order is awful. Tendulkar is a sorry sight. At least Irfan is back. Got more in one innings than Sehwag in the series.

Indian selectors are stupid.

This would be the team I'd select for Tests:

Mukund
Rahane
Pujara
Kohli
R.Sharma
Ashwin
Dhoni
I.Pathan
Aaron
I.Sharma
Yadav

Something like that. It's hard to say which batsmen have the game. But there's some out there and they need to play. Bowling is trickier. They really need to develop a half-decent pool of seamers or they'll get nowhere. India get happy about one (Yadav) whilst the Aussies shit them out like Barcelona. That attack is distinctly mediocre.

Third t20 on now, England made 129-6. KP carried his bat through the innings. Pakistan are 22-1 in reply.

Zia is a clown. Though that was a decision Swann got purely by screaming at the umpire loud enough.

48-2.

82 needed off 76.

And here comes Misbah ul Hero to fail at the godfather role.

89-3 at the moment, Shafiq was run out.

Broad :haha:How did he miss? Ridiculous player.

Finn looks a lot like Ramsey doesn't he?

Less of a wuss though tbf.

Also, 22 from 17 needed.

Very tight. :popcorn:

113-4, it's Boom Boom time!

Broad :bow:

Always been a fan.

Bumble taking the piss out of afretard. :lol:

Bairstow. :doh:

Terrible fielding.

13 needed from the final over.

11 off 5 needed.

Misbah's fucked his country over again.

Afridi won't read a slower ball.

Afridi run out?

He's gone!

Horrendous wide from Dernbach, that was going out to third man.

7 from 2 needed. :popcorn:

They need a six off the last ball!

England win by five runs and win the series 2-1! 124-6!

Cook. :bow:

Broad. :bow:

Strauss. :pal:

Well done the south African. Superbly bowled.

England :bow:

Won the 2 series that mattered

Very interesting match on now. India need 320 off 40 overs to qualify. They are currently 160-2. Kohli and Gambhir at the crease after tendulkar and sehwag fail again.

Gambhir run out for 63. Btw, India 215-3 off 29 overs. 106 needed off 11 overs. Kohli 70*, raina 5*

Kohli has hit 24 off malinga's over. :haha:

India win by 7 wickets.

India 321-3 off 36.4 overs.

Virat Kohli 133* off 86 balls.

Most talented batsman in world cricket by a fucking mile. That was incredible. Not one slog in that innings.

England drop Morgan for the SL series :lol:
