Group C - Australia, Sri Lanka, West Indies

[Uppercut]

Is 83/0 after six the best T20 powerplay ever?

 

[ret]

83 in the first 6 .... don't recall seeing something like this before

I said a month or so ago that I didn't enjoy watching Chris Gayle bat, but that was when he was out of form and in Test match cricket. I could watch him in T20 cricket all day long. This is awesome. That six onto the roof was massive, what a shot. So glad Gayle didn't play like this against England in the ODi series

Andre Fletcher has been superb as well, looks a real raw talent this lad. Was impressed with him in the 20:20 for 20 and now he's doing it against Australia as well. Love it.

Those 6 overs alone, hell, that 1 Lee over alone makes up for the beating we got from the Netherlands last night!

It's okay Aussies, James Hopes is coming into the attack.

Nah, Watson 5-for ftwwwwwww

 

[King Pietersen]

It's time to bring on the game changing spinner I reckon. Oh wait......

Nothing will make up for that

Fletcher takes one hand off his bat quite often.

 

[Jarquis]

WIndies require a run a ball

 

[vic_orthdox]

Just going to be like the "boring overs" in a one dayer from here on! Well, it should be unless the Windies bottle it.

Helps him disguise his drop shot...

 

[Uppercut]

Windies essentially through already if they win with a NRR like this.

 

[Redbacks]

looks like 260 was par for this wicket in the end.

Haha, difference is I guess Aust will try and attack to take wickets (since its the only way they can win);

 

[BoyBrumby]

Good point, yeah. He's effectively playing as a specialist bowler. Would much rather Siddle there, surely.

Hauritz IMHO. Windies horrible playing spin generally. Swanny showed the humble offie can be v effective against them.

On another subject those flaming split screens that come up when the batsman take a run are giving me a headache.

101/0 off 8 overs. Stick a fork in her.

 

[Neil Pickup]

No sign of that yet...

 

[Nate]

I blame the whole Andrew Symonds distraction, etc etc etc.

 

[cowboysfan]

the aussies and england can now get on with their test match preparation

 

[Nate]

Reckon Ponting will bring Michael 'Golden-Boy' Clarke on. Part-time spin ftl.

 

[Jono]

No sign of that yet...

I clearly forgot Ponting was captain for a second.
