    20/20 starts at 8.35 tomorrow morning. So glad I don't work anymore, can sit back and enjoy this one.

    'Enjoy' may be a bit of a stretch given recent performances!!

    It said on cricinfo earlier that dernbach is the 7th best T20 bowler in the world. I think he's dreadful... but maybe I'm biased because he's the worst ODI bowler in the world

    Either way another defeat looms in spite of our expert commentators saying we are the better team lol. Root dropping Finch was a shocker and now he is 51 not out off just 28 balls:(

    England remind me of Charlton at the moment, huff and puff and that is about it.
  • Another pathetic performance. Looking at 100 run defeat in a T20 match!
  • Chasing 214 to win, England are 142-6.
    Need 72 off 26.
  • 162-8,
    need 52 off 12.

    If Giles gets the job I will not attend any matches whilst he is in charge.
    I hope the ECB read this.

    Stephen Fleming is being mooted as Flower's replacement, a very good NZ skipper from the past ... However .. another 'foreigner' .. we can no longer seem to produce coaches nor indeed, cricketers
