Day one of the ICC World Twenty20

Restricted the Windies to 138/9 in their 20 overs

Watching it. Good work so far and a chance to go for that total. Great work by the 17 year old Dockrell and Andre Botha.

[Gabriel_Hurl]

He's only 17 you say?? 

[magpie seanie]

Yeah, that's what they're saying on Sky Sports (even with the grey hair!!!).

wiki confirms it

7-2

Might be a quick one. Do well to reach a century.

[ONeill]

11/3

O dear.

Do well to reach half a century.

Skittled for 68. Bowlers did well. Batters... well the batters have opportunities.

[magpie seanie]

Yeah, just avoided the world record for lowest T20 score (67 for Kenya against Ireland apparently). Piss poor batting attempt after a good showing in the field. Doesn't bode well for England. No doubt Eoin Morgan will torch our bowlers!

Michael Atherton mentioned his hurling backround!

Great knock alright. On a side note it's a sad state of affairs for English cricket when they have to field
4 or 5 foreigners.

England get shafted by the weather under the d/l method who every wins tomorrow between us and them goes through

Can we be the fly in the ointment like we were in the word cup?

I say we let England bat first and hope for rain.

England have always fielded foreign born cricketers. The never balked at that idea, pulling in the Empire's best and all that, what.
