So what does that bowling performance from India say about our performance in the warm up game, anything?

Pakistan have a very decent batting line-up for t20 and yet they've struggled at just over a run a ball.  However the last couple of T20 internationals a Mirpur have been won with a score in the 130s.  It will be interesting to see what India do in response.

I'm generally not overly concerned by the results in the warm-up games with tournaments where there is a group stage but seeing India control with the ball and then go big with the bat would be a sign that we maybe weren't as bad as we think.

[PGW]

India started slowly but increasing tempo slightly are now 34-0 off 5.4 overs.

Importantly haven't lost any wickets

Come on Pakistan, make a sodding game of it.

Can I say I love the bails and stumps that light up? Great idea, now you can see when they've been hit!

I think this should be extended to batsmen's boxes too.

Bit of a stroll for India

That Dutch performance was insane.

[spangley1812]

Luke Wright ruled out of tournament ..........we have called up Craig Kieswetter

S/L v SA looks like a being a good game

[PaulWinch again]

Luke Wright is no great loss to be honest. I fancy Sri Lanka or West Indies for this tournament.

[cdbearsfan]

Malinga's chucked one onto the stumps. Chokers 33-1 off 5.1 overs chasing 166 to win.

[UK Redsox]

That Dutch performance was insane.

Great start again

[taylorsworkrate]

Looks like the inevitable fucking up of a good position again.

Morgan and Buttler need to turn up.
