They're not in NZ, Australia or SA either but they do ok. Australia are pummeling India here.

It seems to me that we are the only team that is more a less completely incompetent against spin, Australia, NZ and South Africa can cope. They don't play in spinning conditions, why are we so poor? It can't just be the IPL.

Spin had nothing to do with the defeat against the Windies, we scored plenty against their spinners. It was a fluke defeat caused by losing two wickets in the first over - against pace. The mistake after that was not jiggling the batting order and leaving Morgan out until the next wicket went down.
Morgan needs to be at no lower than 4, preferably 3.

England opening the bowling with Danny Briggs. Interesting.

Finn has bowled excellently, but this hitting the stumps thing is getting ridiculous.

I like Kies but he has got to stop eating up deliveries and using up overs.

Good win by England and group is wide open now. However the winner of T20 WC will come from the other group.
