Maybe india won't be shoe in if the pitches are turning big.

there is no such thing as a shoe in with T20

on their day anyone can beat anyone

[backfootpunch]

i would be very dissapointed if rashid, moeen and dawson dont all play tomorrow

given how poor and inconsistent our seamers have been, it makes sense to play all three of them

one of dawson and moeen can open the bowling with topley depending on the left/right combo of the opposition openers

and looking at the pitches so far in the qualifiers and todays game the pitches have been very slowly and scores have been lowish, we will not be able to go out there and slog

i have a bad feeling we will try to score 200 on wickets where 160 wins you most games and end up making 120

Wankhede pitch won't assist the seamers much, I can assure you that. It has never been a spin friendly track in limited overs cricket and this time around, they have apparently left extra grass on it.

It seems we're playing today.

If it's not too hectic at work today I might be able to check the score every now and again.

Chris Jordan.

What chance of Vince getting a game if Roy or Hales have a poor start to the tournament?

[Arthur Crabtree]

Willey gets in ahead of Plunkett. England bat. No place for Dawson.

Chris Jordan

Good fielder!

[Aidan11]

Are we expecting big things of anyone today?

There's a lot of buzz arond Jos. He may want to move away from that wasp nest.

[Gingerfinch]

England have some real power plus the finesse of Root. The same can be said of a few teams, but we can beat anybody if our batsmen come good. The bowling department looks like our weak part.

[mikesiva]

Taylor good in his first over...not in his second.

[Aidan11]

Terrible over but we'll have it.

[mikesiva]

Terrible over but we'll have it.

badree is saying have another one.

Russell!

[budgetmeansbudget]

Vince in for Roy.
