*Official* Group B Discussion - South Africa, Sri Lanka, New Zealand, England

[Pratters]

EDIT
Admittedly I thought he'd get more than one over at this stage.

I don't mind Malinga coming on. The pressure is maintained. Kulasekara bowling meant just giving easy runs when runs were very precious.

 

[GIMH]

RRR creeping back up.

True - Morgan's managed 1 run from 9 deliveries faced against Malinga in this spell.

 

[Scaly piscine]

England could do with finishing this off relatively quickly... take the power play etc.

Quite a significant chance it'll come down to NRR.

Prior key difference in these overs.

SL were well short.....perhaps 250 would have challenged....

Dirty over from Malinga

 

[King Pietersen]

8 to win from 6 overs. Nice to see us finish this with a few overs to spare. Very good performance from England.

 

[GIMH]

What a masterstroke it was by Strauss to get the team to play like **** for six games against Australia so that everyone would underestimate us.

As I understand it, England>>>>>everyone



No, but seriously, great performance it seems. When Jimmeh is hot he is untouchable, and the batsmen have finally done their jobs. I hope this continues, would love another CB Series type win.

 

[Pratters]

Well done, England.

 

[wpdavid]

Wouldn't have forecast that result 9 hours ago.

Well done lads.

 

[popepouri]

Love this group now. Blown wide open.

 

[GIMH]

Colly MOTM, surprised that Morgan never got it tbh

 

[SaeedAnwar]

so why isn't Swann playing in this match again?

 

[GIMH]

He did play.

Spoiler: If you don't want to know what's going to happen in the rest of the tournament then don't click this

ENGLAND 2 WIN CHAMPS TROPHY, HAVE IT

When Jimmeh is hot he is untouchable

keep your frustration under control GIMH

 

[zaremba]

Crap + Inconsistent = Win The Odd Game

Good old England

England haters.....let the "mates" enjoy the moment......come South Africa they might get hurt......

Colly's innings was far, far, far better tbh.

 

[GIMH]

Never saw either but I don't doubt that, I just expected them to give it to Morgan anyway (and so did cricino tbh). Should have been Jimmeh anyway, ***y manbeast

 

[Uppercut]

Hmm. When conditions heavily favour the bowlers I'm tempted to give MOTM to the only batsman who dominated the opposition attack. Completely changed the game did Colly.
