So so poor. Should have easily got 190-200, now gonna struggle to get 145-150.

[manic-road]

Struggling to bat out 20 overs.

"Pretty dismal. Brainless cricket" - James Taylor

That's a quote from TMS rather than a seventies song lyric

I enjoy listening to James and Ebony as summarisers

[Dr Butler]

listening at work and we were cruising at 94/2...155 is not enough.

need to bowl very well.

I think the match will depend on how the slow bowlers bowl.

Oh my, the delivery to get Lynn is one of the best t20 wickets you'll ever see, that's beautiful swing bowling.

[manic-road]

Couldn't wish for a much better start with two wickets in the first over.

[paul_e]

We need to get rid of Short, he was the form player in the BBL and he's carrying it through here.

[paul_e]

Pretty unlucky to have that catch ruled out I think, that's a huge turning point in the match, Maxwell looks key here.

[passitsideways]

The soft signal is a pretty terrible rule, it was bad for Broad's dismissal in the Test match, bad for Smith's dismissal in the ODI, and it made things unnecessarily complicated for Maxwell - I think he was fairly comfortably not out.

[OzVilla]

I didn't think it was out as there was more than enough doubt and as such was fair enough for Maxwell to get a reprieve. We didn't play well enough to deserve any breaks either.

[PaulWinch again]

I really think it’s time to move on from Billings.

[manic-road]

Not a great result today, Buttler needs to start finding form.

[PaulWinch again]

This feels very much like the end of a long tour trying to make as much money as possible. England don't look very fresh.
 Billings is not an international player.

I fancied us in the T20's but it's not really gone to plan.  A few players missing to  be fair so not overly concerning.
