Sri Lanka look decent, hopefully someone knocks them out in the Group Stage because otherwise I worry they might give Scotland a close game in the final.

Totally annoying that ECB have not made then concede. And to pour more salt on it we had tickets for the 1st test at Edgbaston against SA and now it's going to be the arrogant ****** taking that slot and SA test is moved to Old Trafford.

Really pissed off with this, was looking forward to SA game at Edgbaston now that's gone and we have a dead rubber against India.
Not a happy bunny.

South Africa's choking seems to start earlier every tournament.

[cdbearsfan]

This might be a game after all...

[cdbearsfan]

Saffers made a game of it but left the bowlers too much to do.

Good start from England, though. Gayle among four early wickets.

[Lastfootstamper]

Windies bring up their 50.
For 9.
From 13.
Rashid 3-2 off 2.

A session of catching practice in the deep for England.

[Lastfootstamper]

55 all out in 14.2. Rashid finishing with 4-2 from 14 balls.

To quote Partridge: lovely stuff.

[Ad@m]

We're doing our best to make this a competitive game though. Some very soft dismissals here.

[cdbearsfan]

Should really have knocked these off in four or five overs. Net run rate could be a decisive factor in this group.

[Rory]

Yep, we made hard work of the chase, but that'll do. Shame that dickhead Marlon Samuels wasn't still playing for WI.

[PaulWinch again]

To be honest winning in 8 overs has massively put our net run rate over the top. If we’re in a position where it matters I think we’ll be ahead of anyone else.

[cdbearsfan]

Hopefully India v Pakistan will be good, tomorrow. And hopefully Pakistan hammer the tossers, but I doubt it.

Agreed Paul. Lost two or three more wickets than would've been ideal, but it's a brilliant start.
