Moeen, destroyer of worlds.
I'm a little distracted because I'm waiting for Quinton de Knobhead to release a statement about why exactly sitting out was better than making an anti-racism gesture at the start of the match. That's kind of putting a shadow over any other cricket at the moment.

We'll pagger Bangladesh here anyway.....but feels like we're a spinner short if Morgan's just going to bowl Mo and Rash, be good to see Livingstone get an over or 2 in here

Don't need spinners when Chris Woakes bowls his 4 at an economy of 3!

Rather suspect this chase is going to be trickier than it looks though against all those spinners. Need Moeen to do his destructo-spin act to make it a bit simpler.

Nasum Ahmed (Previously 8 T20I runs) taking 17 off a Rashid over was firmly not expected.

You'd have to call that a satisfactory start to the tournament from England, wouldn't you?

Can't work out if we're quite good or if the Windies and Bangla are just rubbish, prob a bit of both you'd say

Windies were amongst the favourites and Bangladesh are ranked #6 in the world. We're very, very good.
I just think India and perhaps Pakistan might be better, but it's close. We should win this group for sure, but the knockouts will be hard.

I think there's us, Pakistan, NZ and India at the top, a big drop down to Aus/SA (awful awful selection), WI and SL, a further drop to BL then the mariana trench and you'll find Scotland.
