O/T Twenty/20 World cup thread

I fancy Pakistan to win it. If they can keep their discipline and temperament then they have a good chance. I think 7/1 is a great price. Then again, in this form of the game owt can happen.

Started well Pakistan , not only back to back wins but against India and New Zealand too .

Very enjoyable anytime Aussie are given a cricketing lesson by England and they were certainly given one today by this extremely talented England team .

Not a single weakness in this team that I can see led by a superb captain .

We knocked off Aussie's total of 125 with 50 balls to spare hitting 60 off the last 20 balls .

It will take one hell of an effort from the rest of the contenders at this world cup to stop this England team .

Absolutely miles in front of the rest .

Wow well done to the lads, because I was obviously thinking that Australia are one of the favourites and it was nice to see us put them in their place.

Jason Donovan, Adam Hills, Crocodile Dundee, and the rest of course who I can't be bothered mentioning... lol, your boys took one hell of an English bulldog lionheart style beating. Enjoy it too, because hopefully theres more where that came from.

Buttler was devastating. Great performance by the bowlers too. England obviously mean business. Just hope we ent peaked too early

We all know what's coming this winter down under in the ashes so I'll take this win all day long .

Really enjoyed watching us thrash the Aussies, was also enjoying listening to the Barnsley game commentary for a while !!!

I said watch out for South Africa, but their win against us today was only consolation as it turned out.
We win the group and it looks like we've got New Zealand in the Semi, and by the way its Pakistan v Australia in the other Semi.

The 2 group winners and favourites for the trophy have both lost their Semis, it really was a case of England & Pakistan peaking too early. So that means both of the runners-up will meet in this weekends Final, Australia v New Zealand.

Im still not a fan to be honest of this short T20 format, but admittedly it does give us some exciting matches and finishes. We already have the One-day 50 over game format, so I don't see the need for this short 20 over blast. Why don't they merge the two and make it a shorter 35 or 40 over format ?.
