T20 World Cup

[Tintinnabulate]

slightly off topic but I love your Manifesto, however I did try to get a separate 'football sub-forum' some time back, no one listened, and many of the people in the sports forum rubbished it and said no, I hope you get it through though! makes sense.

Thanks Hope you will vote for us.

Australia beat Bangladesh. Bangladesh bowled so well and then Australia went crazy in the last three overs.

South African trashed Afghanistan yesterday.

Pakistan play England today
New Zealand play South Africa after it.

England have won the toss and will bowl, Ryan Sidebottom keeps his place. For Pakistan, Mohammad Asif returns, which is very good news. Those selectors have seen sense, eventually.

The teams look like this:

Pakistan 1 Salman Butt, 2 Kamran Akmal (wk), 3 Shahid Afridi (capt), 4 Abdul Razzaq, 5 Misbah-ul-Haq, 6 Mohammad Hafeez, 7 Umar Akmal, 8 Fawad Alam, 9 Mohammad Asif, 10 Mohammad Aamer, 11 Saeed Ajmal.

England 1 Michael Lumb, 2 Craig Kieswetter, 3 Kevin Pietersen, 4 Paul Collingwood (capt), 5 Eoin Morgan, 6 Luke Wright, 7 Michael Yardy, 8 Tim Bresnan, 9 Graeme Swann, 10 Stuart Broad, 11 Ryan Sidebottom.

Six off the first ball.

0.1 Sidebottom to Kamran Akmal, SIX, goodness me, what a start! Welcome to a bouncing pitch! Dug it short, it climbs on Akmal who rises and smashes a pull away it sails high, and only just over the head of fine leg for six. Very close, but good start

England taking control now.

[Tintinnabulate]

Pakistan were in control for the first 6-7 overs. Now England have slowed them down alot! I dont think Pakistan will make more than 140.

Pakistan speeding up a bit! this is going to be a good game, if the rains stays away that is.
