Matty Wade drops the hatrick ball!
Edit: Really enjoying the MC excitingly shouting "it's a wicket!" like it isn't the ninth to go down inside 15 overs.

Bangladesh are Yorkshire-on-racism levels of awful.

Quite sad watching the final days of Chris Gayle, all told.

Definitely not enjoying watching the sobbing India fans on Cricinfo for the NZ/Namibia match. Not at all.

I wonder what the record negative NRR is in any T20 competition? Well wonder no more! Just check out Scotland's after they've played all 5

Every clubby spinner everywhere has just choked laughing at Rabada's caught in the deep hatrick. Can happen to the absolute best!
Fun game that. Roy going down injured a real worry though.

Come on then, who do we replace Roy with?
For me Billings I think - can see the argument for another bowler but Willey is the best option and we don't need to improve bowling in the powerplay I don't think. If we had a death specialist then great, but I fear that would be TCurran...
Probably Bairstow up to open.

If T Curran is selected i'm supporting NZ!
Billings will come in, with Bairstow to open I would expect

I would be tempted to pick Willey, I'll admit.

I'm obviously a bit biased but I'd pick Vince, even if Bairstow opens I'd back Vince in the middle order above Billings too. He's quietly had one of the best t20 years going, winning 3 of the big franchise tournaments with some of the best form of his career in other formats, too.
Fully expecting it to be Billings though, obviously he was in the original squad (albeit not as opener cover) so higher in the official pecking order going into the comp.

NZ favourites with the toss win? You'd say so historically, I'd back England if we can make a defendable total tho, going to need a few boys to go big

I'd have had England 70:30 before, losing the toss evens it up I think. Still quietly confident though.
