World T20 Champs group stages, Feb 7-20

[sussexpob]

Surely they have?

Famously flopped at home in the 1992 WC, but that is the only one I remember

[andy]

Not convinced by Overton opening the bowling would rather see Dawson especially in these conditions...

Archer has two wickets early! 50 in IT20's for him

[andy]

Would give Jofra a 3rd over here as well they don't look happy facing him at all

[andy]

Overton leaking runs! He's much better suited to the middle overs... Dawson should be bowling now instead of him

[Arthur Crabtree]

Looks better from Archer. Wouldn't lose much if they bowl him out, thoguh it would expose Curran to a longer bowl at the end.

[sussexpob]

Is the coach covertly playing for Scotland... Brandan McCullen?

[sussexpob]

Jones wants a bit of Curran, it seems

[andy]

Wouldn't suprise me now if jack's bowls before Dawson as berringtons record against left arm spin is very good, and yeah to be fair I'd be tempted to bowl archer out now he looks likely to get another wicket...leave Curran for the death overs

[sussexpob]

And in 3 balls England's good start has been checked....4,4,6.

[andy]

Archer also offering control today which is needed as runs are flowing from the other end... definitely bowl archer out

[sussexpob]

Curran gets him ...

[alfie]

England win the toss and choose to bowl first....would have batted personally but that's just me

Chased badly last time.

Thought they might leave out Archer or Overton and play Rehan.

Think they are always going to include three pace bowlers. Though I would like to have tried Tongue.

Curran expensive but now he has the third wicket so Scotland in trouble at 42/3 England will be happy with that.

[andy]

Curran gets him ...

Another expensive over before the wicket though..would have thought that he won't bowl before the death now

[andy]

50 up after 7 overs

[alfie]

Run Rate Good. But three down not so much for Scotland. They've started well against the spinners though !
