Another game another disappointing run chase. Desperate cricket, desperate result, another desperate competition. England invented Twenty20 and is being shown how to play it by the rest of the world. Collingwood reckons England were “ten per cent off the mark… one innings and one partnership away from winning the game.” Apparently England can qualify if NZ beat the Saffas, England beat India and India beat the Saffas too… then it is on run rate.

England invented T20 says who? It was invented back in the 70’s in the grounds of Karachi Pakistan. In RAMADAN as everyone is fasting so the game was reduced to 20 overs per inning.
As far as the English cricket is concerned I am sorry to say but they have all the ingredients to make an exciting match into real boring.
