Big 6 by Brook and he breaks the large screen at the ground

Who do we have to bring in for Butler? It’s Duckett isn’t it?

Duckett’s been out of form, so probably not much of an improvement.

Who is backup wicket keeper? Could move Buttler down the order & open with Jacks or Banton.

England brilliant in last 3 overs

How has this team got to the semi final

oh dear

 

[jto123]

oh dear

Why oh dear!? They’ve struggled throughout the tournament. Seems a reasonable thing to say no?

 

[jto123]

Because they’ve battered the last two teams and this is really irrelevant

Slightly bemused why you got so arsey about that comment It’s common consensus that they struggled it the tournament. Anyway onto the semi final.

Salt or Banton could keep wicket but I would stick with Buttler he only has to come off once in the tournament

Yep just twice semi and final

Feel like the pressure of opening is weighing him down as so crucial. Banton to open and let Buttler cause havoc with a slog at the end.

Just caught up on the highlights, quality from Jacks and Ahmed. Very good win that

Finn Allen, take a bow

Brook has a history of dropping simple catches

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

The unlikeable team takes on the unlikeable fans.

Such skill to be an all time great. Unfortunately, unless he can play a more mature game, more regularly, he'll not improve from an ok intl player. I do wonder how much of how he plays is down to him/immaturity/his style? And how much is it down to McCullums "Bazball" style?


So far, so good for India though. Looking an easy route straight to the final via a small speed bump.

need a wicket or two here

General trend of this team is it has done well in Sri Lanka and badly in India.

We need a fucking miracle, not a wicket!

Only comfort from this is that McCullum and Key will finally be removed after this

Don't be silly, will be applauded for getting England to a semi final overseas

ECB complacency. Who’d have thought.

 

[ovduk78]

There was an interview with Finn Allen after his innings yesterday & he said NZ had done well and reached the final because of all the preparation and practice they did for all the grounds they could play at.

 

[StrettoBoy]

It seems harsh to penalise England for a slow over rate, as seems likely, given that we have spent most of the innings retrieving the ball from the top of the stand or the road behind it.

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

Jamie Overton is very average

 

[StrettoBoy]

To make this a contest we need India to declare.

 

[tisza]

Jamie Overton is very average

refuse to believe he is one of our top 3 T20 quicks. Maybe BCCI are paying us to play him - as he shouldn't have been in the 5th test last summer either

Idiots, they should have gone on holiday for a piss up and a bit of golf

 

[jto123]

Picking Jacks to finish sums this up.

 

[chiefdave]

There have only been three T20 chases higher than this - in any professional tournament, any league, in any country.

So you're saying there's a chance

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Forgot this was on, checked the score:

 

[DT-R]

Well, thats that then! Let's just hope this is the start of the end of Baz and Key
