58-5

[Cripps_orig]

Finished on 93-8

On another note, Cook is on Talksport atm and hes being asked the question why if the likes of Amla, Kallis etc can play all 3 forms of the game is he sitting on his butt at home?

Excellent point

Cook is a decent batsman but cant be called world class cos whilst he may do well in the non pressure environment of Tests, he cant do it where runs need to be scored asap

[Syn]

Not sure why a middle class ponce is lowering himself to taking an interview at the working class scum like Talkshite. Thought he'd feel above that.

South Africa won by 10 wickets.

World Twenty20
Bangladesh v New Zealand, Pallekele, 11:00
Afghanistan v England, Colombo RPS, 15:00

Why are they playing all the minnows games first?

It makes the big games in the group meaningless

Also the groups for the next stage have already been sort regardless of if they finish 1st or 2nd

So England will be with SL, NZ and WI no matter what and the other group will be India, Aus, SA and Pak

Ridiculous

Come back Tests, all if forgiven

[Cripps_orig]

NZ got 191-3

McCullum with an International record of 123.

Off only 58 balls as well

Bangladesh 61-4 in reply off 11 overs

[Syn]

Fancied Bangladesh to do quite well in this format actually. They're a bit unlucky they faced McCullum on one of his good days.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

NZ won.

Bangla.

Afghanistan vs England, England are batting...0-1.

Kieswetter the man to go.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

69-2, Hales went for 31, run out. Wright helped by hitting it straight back to the bowler.

Morgan in now.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Wright gets to 50.
