Our bowling is currently no better.It'll be interesting to see the tactics that we employ against Narine.

Always going to be a big ask at 0-2 after an over! Can't see us getting through to the Semis, as I think Sri Lanka will be too much in the spin department and we'll beat NZ in a dead rubber!

Morgan batted superbly!

At least Kieswetter got straight out, Bairstow scoring 18 off a full five overs did more damage to our chase.

The game was lost by letting Johnson fucking Charles score 84 runs mind.

Reckon the blame lies solely with Bairstow. If he'd scored at the same run rate (or even close to) as Hales and Morgan we'd have run. Scoring under 4 an over is beyond shit. Maybe they should have put Morgan in when the 2nd wicket fell.

Of course, we'd also have won if KP was playing. They (the ECB) could have sorted it out in time if they wanted.

Bairstow wasn't helped by coming in at 0/2.

Also heard England off 12 overs of spin only got 70 odd. 

Think it's NZ next. So in an ideal world England can win that and Sri Lanka beat the west indies so in the final game Sri Lanka rest a few against England.

Also it's handy England got close so the run rate didn't take a battering of it comes to that.

A great day of sport today, t20, Ryder Cup and Super Sunday....got to love Sunday afternoons!

Thank goodness England won yesterday, didn't see the game or any highlights due to Shrewsbury yesterday but from what I gather it was a much improved performance from the India and WI games....winner takes all on Monday then!!!

edit: Just seen the WI v SL result....does that mean we need to beat SL and hope NZ beat WI??

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!
