Group 1 (Afghanistan, Australia, England, New Zealand, Sri Lanka, Ireland)

Dananjaya running there like he thought you can’t get out for nought

Damn good start from Sri Lanka. Could be a 200 v 200 game.

Would take a tie tbh

Some filth bowling. Nearly everything in the slot.

Then been too wide when bowling outside off.

Spinners slowing it down #scgsospinny

"Kusal Mendis has thrown it away" was such **** commentary.

It was 40/0 in the 4th over and he got one in the slot so he tried to hit it for six. That's how T20 works, you idiot.

I don't think they're reading the forum.

Funny that Atherton was commentating when you said this, lol.

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

Actually they might be, who was the comm

Lmao

Great start for SL. If only Afghanistan had won last night.

The trouble here is that Sri Lanka keep scoring a lot of runs, at a quick rate.

England need to try harder to stop that happening.

If I were England I would simply bowl a lot of dot balls then make more runs than SL when we batted

 

[Burgey]

What’s the option for England if Wood can’t bowl? Is there another seam up option or would they need to get three out of Ali?

They should also think about taking some wickets at some stage.

Hey is Stokes still free?

Hard to believe really

Hedley Thomas should do a podcast on him. That’ll fix everything

Well Livingstone's already bowled one. Definitely no other seamers that haven't bowled yet though.

 

[Burgey]

Rarely seen two blokes with shoulders like a Taipan go for the body check.

 

[thierry henry]

Hard to believe really

It’s not even funny. Can’t even make a good post about it. Just one of the worst blokes on Earth and we’re expected to discuss him in all-rounder threads or whatever.
