Windies problem is that cricket is not so popular as a sporting profession these days. The youngsters go in for football, athletics and US sports.

Smith and Duckett slaying the Windies

Might get 300 at this rate.

Best first 10 overs in a T20 by England apparently. Tremendous.

Windies getting twatted all around the "Utilita Bowl". England's best ever score after 10 overs of a T20 International; 135/1. They have to be seriously looking at at least 250.

Looking unlikely now.

Well; they nearly got there. 248/3. That will probably be quite a bit more than the Windies will be able to amass.

Carse is not good enough.

Been watching a bit of the WTC final and Boycott would be proud of this South Africa side! 18 overs 27 runs

We’re going to get hammered in the winter!

South Africa just blocking is mad we'd be on 100/4 or something and at least putting pressure back on the bowlers

Bavuma is making Geoff Boycott look quick, hit the fucking ball man before there’s one with your name on it.

We’d be 26 all out off 8.2 overs.

Nahh how many low low scores have we had playing the attacking way?! Low as under 100

On this pitch with these bowling attacks, we’d have got less than both Australia and South Africa, imho.

Unless Root managed to farm the strike.

Enjoying this game, batting 4th on this wicket chasing less than 180?

I still have the Aussies as favourites at the moment though.

It’s hard to score on this wicket.
