Duckworth Lewis still the most confusing formula.. how is it that the game gets reduced by an over but the target only by 2 runs? :(

Should've reduced it by 20 :lol:

Kenny famously said you get what you deserve.
I’m not too fussed but I’d think that not even making the semis would mean some heads have to roll

Litton Das carries his bat for 54* - starved of the strike a lot in the 2nd half of the innings. Fair play to him.

And now the little man, no doubt supported with cringing enthusiasm by his lady, embarks upon his media career.

Let the "WarnerWashing" begin.

And we're all slightly diminished by being held hostage to it.

I wonder if Wade will retire from T20I now, I don't think he had made a decision on that when he retired from first class cricket.

Semi Finals-
Afghanistan v South Africa
England v India

For those still interested in this tournament who are you picking? I'm unashamedly picking England and hopefully Afghanistan can win, can't trust South Africa, will they choke in a semi again?

Hard to see England losing to be honest, but wouldn't rule out Afghan - their bowling attack is pretty reasonable and suited to the shit decks

I've just seen a clip from today's match and I have to apologise to all the T20 players out there
I didn't realise the game was so brutal a hammy could ping on these athletes at any given moment such is the stress that is placed on the body

And then at the end of the match Gulbadin was miraculously running around with his team mates celebrating. [emoji38]
