What's new

England beat South Africa by 2 wickets in a high scoring game

Well played, De Kock! What an innings, thoroughly enjoyable.

Rashid and Moeen should start playing for Pakistan and ditch a rubbish team like England.

Rashid won't make the team in any format; Moeen can replace Imad for sure.
 
Amla can't play deliveries coming into him but these English bowlers are so useless its annoying to see.
 
ENG, I think can chase 200-210 here, they also has one of the most explosive & lengthy batting, but probably they 'll chase more than 225 ...........
 
Puts Joe root performance day before into perspective,he was slow as expected from an English batsman.
 
England should just get on the plane after the South African innings is over. No way they can chase 200+.
 
I want this kind of start from Sharjeel tomorrow

First ICC tournament hundred against a Test playing nation for Amla on the cards here.

It took 7 years and 6 tournaments, but he can finally get there.
 
hahaha clash of the beards sign in the crowd what a legend :Amla :moali

Rashid is good in T20s but yeah, we already have Afridi so he might not make it. Moeen won't make the test team.
 
100 up in 8 overs so how much SA should score in remaining 72 balls and 9 wickets? 130 at least with this start
 
It would be awesome if ABD gets a decision against him might put some life into the match :six
 
What's the highest T20 innings score ever? 230 something by Sri lanka, right?
 
Rashid gives too many garbage balls away. one freebie every over u can't do that at this level. the way the English media hype him it's like he's the second coming of Warne

poor shot by AB he just got too carried away there. He has some Afridiesque tendencies at times.

As you said that bro!!!
 
Better pitches in the 'traditional centres'.

Manohar and Anurag Thakur have ruined it by including Nagpur and Dharamsala.
 
[MENTION=53290]Markhor[/MENTION] After all that emphasis on LOI cricket , if this is the best England can come up with then Strauss and co. should be fired ASAP.
 
seen this too many times when AB is batting like a dream then throws it away. no need for that shot.

England v South Africa | WT20 2016 | Mumbai | Mar 18, 2016 | Match Thread

What's the highest T20 innings score ever? 230 something by Sri lanka, right?

260 by Lanka, the eternal minnow bashers against Kenya, won the match by 170 runs :yk
 
Both Moeen and Rashid look awful for long periods of time but somehow, manage to take wickets regularly.

let's see how England bat on here. Steyn remove will be taken to the cleaners by Hales and Roy.

Mo has bowled ok so far considering the circumstances.

Eden Gardens is flat but Mumbai and Bangalore pitches or on a another level!

Also, the ground size is small. Both Wankhade & Bangalore grounds are smallest in IND (probably in world after Kiwi grounds).
 
Amla gets a :six somehow he doesn't look that great in T20is moves so much.
 
3 consecutive fifties by Amla and all have been great to watch. Finally learnt the pace of the T20 game.
 
If England lose this too, are they officially out?

Haven't seen Group A table yet.

They are the best wickets for fast bowlers in Tests though. Bowlers generally have better Records here in the last 15 years.
 
Ali to Amla, SIX, tossed up, nice and juicy - and hoicked over deep square leg by the merciless Hash! He's not going to take it easy on his bearded confrere anymore, and that's his fifty, from 25 balls

:))
 
If ENG can restrict SAF for 200-210 somehow, it's game on.
 
Ab if he comes in after a great start tries to go for more than is needed a normal innings of 50 of 30 balls would have sufficed. Had no need to go for such shots

Yes, exactly. He's already such an energetic character and that blistering start would have pushed the adrenaline to peak levels.
 
4 of the top 10 totals in T20 have come against England why do they even play this format coz 2010WC?

Yes signs are they will lose this with a goodish margin and the lost against the Windies pretty badly.

They would have to absolutely wallop both Lanka and Afghanistan to even stand a chance
