I fancy the saffers here.  Get a couple early and get stuck into that fragile looking middle order.

I think if England win they will go through.  If Eng beat SL, and WI beat NZ then it will all come down to net run rates and SL are much better than Eng and WI at present.  If England win narrowly and WI annihalate NZ then England may have a problem.

England though will have to bat much better.  Kieswetter up top just clogs the bloody thing up.  Highly unlikely but the only option could be to give Bairstow the gloves and bring Bopara in and garner another bowling option.  With the two Mendis's another trial by spin awaits!

If news reports are to be believed England have taken my option and dropped Kieswetter for today.  It's bold and brave.  If it backfires they will get pelters but I think it's a good option.

Not to sure about Bairstows keeping.

Bairstow isn't a bad keeper, we're not talking Read/Foster/Bates level but I don't think he's much different to Kieswetter.

He himself has admitted he has had numerous chance at ODI and T20 level and not done it.  A very real frustration.

It looks like NZ will win.  If they win inside 19.4 overs the qualify apparantly.  That would leave the Eng v SL game as winner takes all I think!  (Willing to be corrected)

Cracking over by Narine there.  A wicket and just the 2 off it.  Sammy should have brought him on earlier!

Sammys only in this team for his captaincy and at times its shitter than his batting!

If the Windies rescue this he will have played his get out jail card!

New Zealand need 14 off the last over. 13 and we have another super over!

If Windies lose this they are out. If NZ win, they will probably qualify should England lose
