Default World T20

England for the win

Should beat both teams in the groups and then it's anyones game.

Any predictions?

Tell me what the "world T20" is (good publicity machine behind this obviously) and I'll give you a prediction.

Back to OP: I like my creecket, but I really couldn't give a full toss about 20/20. I watched a bit in India and still don't understand the extra rules: it's not as if the game hasn't got enough already. "Power-plays" my ar$e.

I'll stick to my Test matches ta.

But to be fair I do use it sparingly, it hasn't been milked to death, far from it


I'm picking England, Colly and the boys to do it, get their heads right and they wont have a better opportunity, somewhat mirroring the national football team, they have every chance.

From the BBC

Dan Lucas in the TMS inbox: "I have a lot of sympathy for Ravi Bopara, as I feel he and I have a lot in common, namely that neither of us will ever be an international standard cricketer."

I agree

Can't believe we're through, we are usually rubbish at the short form and we've only gone and cruised through

England for the win

What a great start. Early crucial wickets, low run rate and our confidence is high.

I'm going to say it..... I reckon we can win this

Must be something to do with not playing Bell at all
