Twenty20 World Cup Thread

England three down in 8 and yet to get fifty on the board. The best batsmen should bat as early as possible. The top three here does not have true international quality.

We should have put the Aussies in. They don't know what a good score is in Twenty20 and struggled because of that on Wednesday. Chasing will be easier for them.

Medium pacers coming on, England should learn from this.

England now 3-52 from 9 overs.

We are way behind the rate at present but 180 will be a very good score on this pitch.

Is it me or is the camera work shockingly bad today?

Fro that position I would never expect to reach 190. 160 might be attainable and interesting.

Paul Collingwood smashed Brett Lee for 6 off a free ball then LBW the next ball for 18.



England 4-73 from 10.3 overs.


Andrew Flintoff now @ the crease with KP.

KP and Fred together - will they come of together for once.

160 would be interesting, nail biting - 190 would be safer.

If we get say 150 how quick would Aus need to get them in to knock us out?

let's hope England's cricketers are thinking in terms of knocking Oz out.
